What the Psychedelic Renaissance is Really About

Ya know, religious colonization did a lot of damage to both the indigenous and the non-indigenous of these lands. Essentially because they demonized most of our ancestral wisdom which literally cut us off from our roots.

Some folks think that the psychedelic renaissance is just a revival of the 60’s, but it’s not. It’s a reclaiming of the ancient practices lost that existed in all continents, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, for thousands of years prior to colonization.

These sacred medicines are really lost sacraments that have been quintessential in bringing balance and healing to hearts, minds, bodies, and communities from the beginning. Archaeological records prove this, and now so is evidence-based research and clinical trials happening all over the world.

Their ability to bring balance, awaken the spirit, and heal hearts, bodies, and conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD rapidly are astounding.

But here’s a cautionary tale:

Unfortunately there are lots of folks working with these plants unethically and unsafely. So if you are curious about these medicines, please please please vet any circle leaders or guides.

In our new non-dogmatic religious organization, the aWake Community, one of the many things we will be offering is education on safe, ethical, and sacred ways to work with these medicines for our members. It’s the wild west out there, and we want to ally with community members to ensure that they have the vetting tools and safety protocols they need to have the best experience possible.

If you want to hear about our upcoming events at the aWake Community, get on the list here.

We kick off our first all-day fundraiser is Nov 2 online!! On that day we will be sharing more about this, and so many other juicy, head-turning topics that ya just won’t find at your neighborhood church.

We are all healing from the trauma of religious colonization in one way or another. And it’s time to learn, grow, and heal from it–together.

Hope to see you on November 2! Be sure to get on our list to get some insider scoops!!
