Wow... First Mycomeditations Legal Mushroom Retreat down and two to go! What an incredible, humbling, powerful and reaffirming week here in Jamaica with the Mushrooms. And what an amazing Country, vibe and all round paradise den for this adventure to unfold in.... Treasure Beach is aptly named 🇯🇲👌🏼
Giving thanks for all that has led me to this point in my Life... Supporting, learning, witnessing, co-creating... THIS is it. Whatever it is, it feels like THIS is IT. (Until the next it of course!) The "No bullshit zone" as we declared it... A place for people to come and truly reveal themselves, really BE just as they are, in all their perfect contradictions. The pain, the joy, the confusion, the tears... the laughter. The journey of this gift, Life.
One 38year old man admitted to being the victim of a sexual assault aged 6. He had never told anyone... After a stern week of frustration he finally cried.. deep tears of release, held so impeccably by the whole group...
Another, to a group of 15 men, that he was Gay.
A 22 year old who had been hell bent on having a vasectomy realised that deep down, what he truly really wanted was a family and that he was just shit scared of fucking it up...
On a lighter note all remembered that we´re all just blips of awareness floating through space on a giant rock... and that that´s OK! 😅🍄
All important sharing together the morning after a large dose mushroom Journey..
Giving such blessed thanks to these incredible teachers.. The Mushrooms. We are truly living in a Psychedelic revival... MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) currently has 10 Psilocybin Studies listen as ´In progress´on their website. These include studies on Psilocybins affects on Major depressive illness, smoking cessation, Cancer, attention/cognition/perception, emotional brain functioning to name a few... Heavy stuff, good thing we had Comic and "Here we are" (http://www.herewearepodcast.com/) Science Podcast host Shane Mauss leading the way with well timed laughter and dead pan sardonic wit... Laughter is wonderful Medicine!
So yes, THANK YOU Mushrooms! Reminding us how to shed our cynical, skeptical skins and re-enter our natural state of awe, gratitiude, peace and ultimately, LOVE.🍄 So excitied for the next cohort to arrive. This week we will be alternating the Mushrooms with Holotropic Breathwork as Psychedelics Today (http://www.psychedelicstoday.com/) Creators and Podcast co-hosts Kyle Buller and Joe Moore land for a week of deep dives. Like an endless pot of Gold, I reach into this next Retreat with arms wide open and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you to the team at www.Mycomeditations.com for all you do... and for helping me to understand my role in this Great Mystery as it slowly unfolds. What a ride!
Aloha
