A psychedelic renaissance

Have you ever wished you could change your brain and the way you think and perceive things? Wouldn’t seeing life differently and resolving those untamed issues make life more peaceful and satisfying? What if you could change your brain and change your mind? Psychedelic therapy has been around for decades but we’re just starting to learn more about it as a public to help treat anxiety, depression, addiction, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders and other issues related to hormone imbalance and menopause and OCD.  It involves microdosing or macrodosing hallucinogens like psilocybin(the active compound in mushrooms) in a controlled environment with trained facilitators. While some call this a mystical experience, the therapy helps to treat many issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, migraines, menopause symptoms, PTSD and eating disorders. The idea though is to establish an intention for the therapy and then to explore the mind and change it through this experience. Sound crazy? Well it’s been around for decades and is strongly supported by science. In this episode I’m joined by Irie Selkirk, co-founder and Director of Rise Wellness Retreat – the world’s first psilocybin and microdosing retreat hosted in Jamaica. Irie talks about the benefits of psychedelic therapy and what you can expect from the treatment and the retreat.
