PSYCHEDELIC CHAPLAINCY – A WORKSHOP ON ETHICS, LAW, SPIRITUALITY, AND COMMUNITY

In times of great transition—birth, death, illness, divorce, marriage, and personal rebirth—humans often find themselves at the edge of their capacity to gracefully be with such intense experiences. Psychedelic chaplaincy is an emerging field that combines ancient wisdom with tremendous skill, to offer intentional, sacred support through these pivotal life moments. This talk explores the transformative power of psychedelics when paired with the grounded, heart-centered presence of a trained guide—someone who can midwife the whole Being along the path. Drawing from the lineage of sacred caregiving, psychedelic chaplaincy supports individuals in surrendering control, confronting egoic attachments, and discovering new pathways to peace and integration.

Presented through the lens of a homebirth midwife, death doula, and psychedelic facilitator, this offering weaves together the teachings of classical Tantra, Taoist philosophy, and the lived experience of supporting others in crossing life’s thresholds. Together we will explore the ego as the root of suffering, the alchemical power of grief and joy, and entheogens that can help us meet life’s deepest initiations with clarity, compassion, and courage. Whether you are a seeker, caregiver, or simply curious, this talk invites you into a reimagined relationship with transition—where psychedelics and skilled support meet to open doorways to expanded states of Consciousness.
