The psychedelic renaissance has been a beacon of hope for many seeking personal healing and transformation. We've witnessed countless stories of individuals finding relief from depression, anxiety, and trauma through carefully guided psychedelic experiences. This focus on individual healing has been revolutionary, opening doors to new therapeutic approaches and challenging long-held stigmas around these powerful substances.
But as we stand at the crossroads of multiple global crises - climate change, social inequality, political polarisation - it's becoming clear that personal healing, while vital, is just the beginning. We've been thinking a lot about this at The Psychedelic Society as we revisit our manifesto ahead of our 10th anniversary celebration on Nov 30th (save the date!). We're realising that true transformation doesn't happen in isolation. Our individual journeys are inextricably linked to the collective human experience and the health of our planet.
The time has come to expand our vision. What if we could harness the insights and connections fostered by psychedelic experiences to address our shared challenges? Imagine the potential if we could translate the empathy, interconnectedness, and expanded perspective often gained through these experiences into collective action and societal change. As we heal ourselves, we become better equipped to contribute to the healing of our communities and our world.
This week, we're highlighting our events in Psychedelic Science & Integration that challenge us to think bigger. How can we use the insights gained from our personal healing journeys to foster compassion, bridge divides, and inspire collective action? How can we create spaces for shared healing and growth that extend beyond the individual and into our communities?

The demand for highly skilled and professionally trained psychedelic facilitators is experiencing rapid growth. Recognizing this need, the Synthesis Institute, drawing upon its pioneering history of offering legal psychedelic experiences to over 1,000 individuals, has developed the Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training, a 13-month educational journey designed for those eager to work in the psychedelic space, seeking a research-backed, wisdom-rich, somatically-informed, heart-centered approach to facilitation.
This is a fantastic training, facilitated by psychedelic leaders and expert practitioners which draws from clinical best practices and wisdom traditions and is continually refined through collaborations with prominent universities and research institutions.

How do we heal uprooted selves and societies amidst unravelling modernity? Deracinated, uprooted, displaced, exiled, lost. These are common underlying experiences of the modern human. We are in turbulent times, both individually and collectively. Our friends at Rooted Healing are offering an extensive, deeply held year-long course to provide you with a map to navigate this initiatory threshold called Deepen Your Roots.
They do beautiful work in nature connection and opening the heart and mind to the animist world. If you're feeling called to reconnect with the cycles and wisdom of nature and initiate into the practices that can guide you, we certainly recommend you take a look at this.
