This lecture offers some context for Bad Trips that enables a healthy and helpful approach to the wounding and challenges that come with them.

My lecture from Breaking Convention 2019 on how psilocybin can help us become whole people, trustworthy partners, and healthy citizens.

Psychospiritual maturation is the developmental process wherein we discover and repattern the elements of personality that deviate from the most honest core expression of the unique, unconditioned self. Spiritual practice is a means to cultivate a deeper awareness of this self and exercise an ability to express and integrate it into identity.

By inspiring the emergence of unconscious emotional material, our reactions and interactions with others can help or hinder psychospiritual maturation.
