Hi, welcome to The Journey, I’m so glad you’re here. I thought it would be lovely to introduce ourselves to foster connection among this beautiful community. The journey inward can be inherently isolating unless we’re surrounded by people also walking this path. Let’s connect and change that.
I’m Julia (or Jules for friends of the internet & IRL), and I live right by the ocean in LA. I’m an advocate for psychedelic medicine and root cause approaches to healing. After struggling with an eating disorder, depression, and PTSD for much of my life, I found my way to psychedelics which changed everything. I dedicated my life to getting these root cause modalities to more people, both in my day job in the non-profit world & through my creative pursuits online. Writing online has become my most cherished practice for integration. Fave topics: psychedelics, consciousness (both the mysteries and metaphysics of it), creativity, purposeful living, indigenous and natural wisdom, anything spirituality.
I'm Shuna Morelli, from Washington state, and I dove head first into the re-emergence of psychedelic medicines about a year ago. I worked with Peruvian ayahuascaros 24 years ago—before it was a "thing"— and that medicine has informed my life for a quarter century! Now, I geek out on all the research, have become a psychedelic guide, and even just published a delightful novel about The Psychedelic Discoveries of Jenni P. Perkins. That's the subtitle. The title is 49 Days, a nod to Rick Strassman and his seminal book The Spirit Molecule. Anyway, Jules, thank you for your writings. I actually read each one I receive, and am always delighted. :)
Hi I’m Monica from Louisiana, I was led to you by seeing your name on a workbook that was part of my integration work. I’m also on a path and the inner work feels lonely sometimes.
Hi Julia, I'm from Philly but I've been living in Ecuador for 5 years now. I have tried many therapies and vipassana and EFT to help peel back the layers in my personal growth, healing from c-ptsd, anxiety, depression. I recently found a therapist and had my first MDMA session that I'll be integrating for the next few months. My brain is rearranging and observing. It was a beautiful comfortable session for 6 hours in a hammock on my balcony at the beach. I'm also an experienced floater. I searched around and found out that a float spa is offering ketamine therapy in Austin, TX. Hoping that when MDMA is legal in the USA, it will be combined with floating and I am glad to be part of any studies in the future. wink wink ;) Thank you for The Journey and the community.
Hi, I'm Louis from Montreal. I discovered psychedelics when I was 17. I began abusing them because they provided the spiritual connection I was seeking my whole life. I soon had a terribly dangerous and painful bad trip I call the dark night of the soul (you can read about it on my Substack) and almost took my own life on 500ug of LSD. That changed my life and threw me into the deep end where I started studying and practicing Zen, yoga and other forms of mysticism. I built and psygaia.org in 2019 and run an online psychedelic education and self-healing community. I study the role of psychedelics in individual, cultural and ecological cohesion and health at the University of Ottawa and guide people on journeys in BC. I enjoy your Substack and just launched DOSED (dosed.substack.com) to write about psychedelics, culture and the world.

Hey everyone! My name is Brady and I'm based in Brisbane, Australia. I recently started a newsletter here on Substack called InThirdPerson. I'm currently on a quest to find other creators who do similar work to myself, I'm looking to network. I write on a variety of topics such as psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and self-improvement amongst other things. It's no coincidence that I also like to learn about these same topics, that's how I came across Julia's work. If anyone believes their writing might be of interest to me, don't hesitate to reach out, I'd love to build a bigger network here on Substack. Thanks everyone! Brady :)
Hello, I'm Aracelly Bibl. I came across your name (Julia Christina) on Medium when I was on Sandy Pekinpah's page. She and I share a similar tragedy--loss of a teenager to bacterial meningitis. Anyway, two years after my son died, I went on a guided journey with Psylocybin and MDMA and it was the most transformative healing journey I've had since his death. It's what got me through. So, that is why I am here. Just curious, really. Thanks for adding me. Oh, one more thing. I have been alcohol-free for 9 months and before I quit, I told myself that I did not need to do another journey to quit because I already had the knowledge and strength within me (I mean, I'd love to do another journey at some point, but I didn't feel it was necessary for quitting alcohol). The mushrooms told me I could do it the first time around. It was so simple and I am loving living an alcohol free lifestyle. Thank you so much, Aracelly.
Hi, I'm Teri, from Richmond, VA... And can't wait to move back to Cali!
I'm on my own healing journey right now and found this in a Tricycle email. I'm really trying to soak up what I can; learn more about the psychedelic industry, both to help in my own healing journey and to hopefully, one day, be a part of the industry to help pass this healing on to others.
I’m grateful to spirit for guiding my fingers and eyes to you. You articulate the path intricacies so well.
I’m Geneva, I’m from very deep space (Galactic Center... still narrowing it down). This body grew up in Maine, but now we live outside Atlanta, GA. The healing portion of this life has been completed. I graduated on 12/26/23 after a beautiful ceremony with mama mushroom.
And now I’m boundless and fearless! And wow have the downloads and insights turned WAY up. And so many guides in and around me.
Thank you for writing. Your gift is a beautiful offering to the awakening world.
I’m just starting to offer my gifts through a group I created on MeetUp, but it includes free virtual morning meditation, and all are welcome!
Hi, I have been exploring the shaman’s path and intuition for a few years. My ancestors are from Latvia and parts there about, and they had traditions similar to the sweat lodge as well as using what nature provided. My healing experiences seem to directly connect me back to them, and so I’m interested in reading about how it all works for everyone else!
Hi. I am Heidi and I also live in Los Angeles, within walking distance to the Pacific. I am originally from WA state, and while I love the beautiful weather, diversity and abundant opportunities LA has to offer, I miss my mountains, trees, lakes, rivers, and, yes, rain! Throughout my life I have struggled with depression, fear and a struggle to connect with not just others, but also myself. I have been proactive in my healing journey, from therapy to exercise to pharmaceutical solutions, but I’ve always felt that true joy in life has been frustratingly out of reach. I am interested in expanding my understanding of myself and the world around me and am curious as to how psychedelics can help me with that.
Hi Julia. I love your post on integration and would like to interview you for a book I'm writing called Psychedelic Pharmacy: A Handbook for Skillful Use. Can we speak sooner than later? Joe Dolce joe@joedolce.com
My name's Seth; I'm a sometime journalist who writes on psychedelics, culture, and music, among other topics. My first book--"Death Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir"--is due in May, 2024. In a nutshell, it's an attempt to untangle the ancestral scars of antisemitism and the World Wars through psychedelic therapy (and eventually a trip back to Hungary to learn what really happened to my family there). Thanks so much for publishing The Journey; it's right up my alley!
