Description
Consciousness expanding plants, fungi, and animals have been interwoven with the healing and visionary practices of indigenous people for millennia.
Modern science and clinical practice is beginning to catch up. A new paradigm of practice is emerging where severe and intractable conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD are being treated with one or two doses of medication - within a therapeutic context - and yielding immediate, large and lasting reductions in symptoms.
We honor the cultures that these sacred medicine ways have come to us from and thank them for the sacrifices made to keep these ways alive.
We also honor the pioneers from medicine, psychology, and nursing who have gone against the grain in order to conduct research on the healing potential of medicines such as psilocybin, LSD and MDMA and the healing practices that support these medicines.
Largely missing from the conversation has been the voice of nursing. We believe that nurses, able to combine their knowledge of medicine provision with deep caring and the ability to bridge cultural and medical knowledge, have so much to offer to the development of psychedelic therapy.
This course is an introduction to sacred medicine and psychedelic therapy. In this self-paced course we offer three modules you can complete at your own pace: Sacred Medicine Traditions, Current Clinical Science, the Role of Holistic Nursing. Each module features an introductory video from the instructors, a powerpoint presentation, 3-4 readings/viewings, and a written online discussion between peers on the week's material.
Our intention is twofold: to provide information on psychedelic therapy from a holistic perspective, and to cultivate the psychedelic nursing community.
