This Week’s Prompt: 18–24.05

All things psychedelics.

Let’s kick start the week with another controversial topic (a.k.a a new prompt): Psychedelics! When writing on this subject, try answering as many of the following questions as possible:

What are psychedelics?

What’s the stigma surrounding them?

Are you for or against them?

Have you ever taken any/considered taking any?

What are your beliefs surrounding psychedelics and spirituality? Are they connected? How?

Last but not least, have you ever been on a spiritual retreat? If not, would you like to go on one?

Feel free to get as creative as you wish! The purpose is to share experiences/personal beliefs/knowledge and educate.

Personally, I’m fascinated with the stories I’ve been reading about deeply transformative experiences of people who have ingested Psilocybin/Ayahuasca by taking part in Shamanic retreats, as well as of people who have been given MDMA after years of therapy and managed to overcome depression or PTSD.

Looking forward to reading your content!

P.S: We already have a published article on Know Thyself that touches on Ayahuasca. It was written by Patrick Paul Garlinger, Ph.D., J.D. and you can read it here.
