Afew years ago, I read an article about a depressed and anxious psychotherapist who took a guided psilocybin trip. He emerged from the experience considerably calmer and more capable of functioning, with the insight: Show up and be open. His experience made a deep impression on me, and I took on that phrase as my own mantra

Many of you know that I did a second guided mushroom trip last week, seeking a deeper encounter with death, and wanting to learn how to release my attachment to all I love about life. A tall order to ask of a measly mushroom. I used a different guide this time. Actually, it was two people,

Before the journey began, there was a screening process, medical information collected, intentions set and a meeting of all the peoples involved. That was good.
