Practical Exploration
    #26471879 - 02/06/20 11:41 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

I have always observed and respected different tastes, methods, settings, ect...for psychadelic exploration. But I have noticed a growing trend of these "retreats" and "centres for healing" ect... Well a few like minds on here have noticed subtle preditory cues whether it be financially, and charging people astronomical rates and garenteeing life changing revolutions that will bring forth in healing and prosperity... 4000 for a one night ceremony and lock of Gwenth Paltrow's hair pressed into a crystal. Or even more legitimate shamanic retreats that have taken advantage of women or people under various substances. There is obviously legitimate cerimonies that take place. But there's also places that use the business model of a "psychic" or psychic healer. And infuse $5-$10 worth of psychoactive substance to magnify the web of bullshit they spin to extract more from those people, finacial or even sexual.
    This initial rant got off subject in where I wanted to discuss the premise of psychadelic exploration or actual guided healing practices but under more practical settings and circumstances. And what is impractical for some is normal for others. But say you have someone for their first time wanting to experience and they are a more blue collar run of the mill type of person. Some people who are curious or need psychadelic medicine are not counter culture driven folk and just might want to listen to some Journey or Genesis and see a nice back yard or woods or something along those lines.
    If I were to get the license to be a psychadelic practitioner and guide people I would employ sets and settings that align with that specific individual, but in tone and theme, i'm a simple person and would employ simplistic and easy to process themes and environments for my patients. I'm just getting at that the whole therapeutic movement could benifit from a more common or and simple themes, like routed hike through woods and nature. Or a mess hall lined with pictures and memorabilia and comfortable furnature.  I just think there's an overall association to the practice that could use broadening, I don't believe everyone is destined to dive head first is the shamanic colonic.
