While psychedelics are becoming more integrated into society and research, some dimensions of the psychedelic experience still feel taboo and illicit a mixture of feelings like shame, longing and curiosity. Sexuality, sex and intimate relationships are some of those dimensions psychedelic bring to consciousness, challenging rigid and dogmatic societal structures, awakening implicit memories, somatic sensations and ask us to go deeper into our embodiment. The psychedelic culture needs to feel safe, welcoming and inviting of these vibrant, visceral and at times challenging topics. This seminar brings the nuanced dimensions of these topics and their intersection with the psychedelic experience.

This Seminar invites you to explore how psychedelics can be used to…

Navigate consent and boundaries
Provide insight on cultural implications on sexuality and sexual expression
Feel our internalized archetypes as they relate to power and gender
Deepen love, repair wounds and strengthen intimacy in relationships
Reclaim the erotic after trauma

We invited experts and practitioners panelists to weave together insights from a variety of traditions, modern psychedelic-assisted therapy, sexual wellness, health, and healing, and contemporary intimate relationship practices. Panels will offer a holistic framework for exploring sexuality and relationship as they intersect with psychedelics. Whether you're a therapist, a curious explorer, or someone seeking deeper connection in your relationships, join us to learn how to engage these topics in a conscious, somatic and mindful way, while learning new practical tools about the transformative potential of psychedelics and sexuality.
