Modern Psychedelics 047 | Recreational Psychedelics: Intentional Partying, Conscious Raving & Electronic Music Culture
The recreational use of psychedelics is a deeply meaningful experience for many people yet there is a lot of shame around it. The spiritual community loves to knock partying as “low vibe” which is downright incorrect; some of my most beautiful memories have been at parties and on dance floors. These FUN experiences are equally as valid as the therapeutic ones.
It's time to break the stigma around the recreational use of psychedelics.
This episode is an important listen regardless of whether you party with psychedelics or not. By consuming this information you will be a part of breaking the stigma around ALL types of intentional and safe psychedelic use. As long as we are educated, safe and intentional, there is nothing wrong with psychedelics in a recreational context. In fact, it can enrich our lives and provide deep meaning and connections.
I brought on two of my friends and dance floor comrades, Jenalle and Kevin, to explore this topic. Jenny is doing amazing work in the psychedelic space with her journal company, Wakeful Travel—a ceremony-companion company that works with wakeful partners to provide tools that aid in transformation and self-exploration. Kevin is a creative director and a true champion of the party spirit. He brightens up my life in with his playful spirit.
Both guests are intentional in every part of their lives, including partying. This episode embodies the spirit of an unforgettable party—it’s fun, light and goofy, even while exploring the more serious considerations around partying and drugs.
Topics covered in this episode:
- How the history of house music + rave culture parallels the story of psychedelics
- Integrating meaningful dance floor experiences and insights into everyday life
- How electronic music, intentional community and psychedelics all come together to create a very special experience
