What is the role of storytelling in psychedelic integration? And how might your well-told psychedelic story make a difference in the lives of others?
Tune in to a conversation with Mareesa Stertz to find out how personal storytelling in the context of psychedelic exploration can be a powerful way to catalyze profound transformation for both you and your community.
Mareesa, with her roots in a culture where healing was rarely discussed, embarked on a journey with psychedelics that significantly influenced her understanding of trauma and self-discovery. Through her personal experiences with psychedelics, which included documenting her own healing process, she became inspired to advocate for healing through storytelling.
Shiri and Mareesa explore the role of psychedelics in the cultural shift towards openness about personal transformation, the foundation of psychedelic societies for community support, and initiatives to make healing more accessible, engaging … and FUN!
