How Psychedelics Can Heal Yourself, Your Family, and Your Community:
Lessons in Resilience and Remembering from Indigenous People with Susan Beaulieu and Sonia Stringer
With so much attention focused on the potential of psychedelic substances to heal trauma, there’s now increasing interest in how these medicines may also be effective in healing intergenerational trauma – trauma that is passed from one generation to another
If that’s possible, how could the personal healing that individuals experience with psychedelics then potentially benefit our families and our greater communities?
These are some of the questions we explore with Susan Beaulieu, an Anishinaabe citizen of the Red Lake Nation whose own healing experience with psychedelics is now positively affecting her immediate family, and her larger community.
In this episode, we consider some interesting questions, including:
What is embodied knowing? What is the difference between understanding something intellectually and having an experience that lives in your body and informs how you think and act?
Can trauma pass intergenerationally (through epigenetics and other factors) and could we be affected by unresolved trauma inherited from our ancestors (without even knowing it)?
How could psychedelics play a role in the healing of trauma inherited from the residential school system and other atrocities inflicted on Indigenous People?
How using psychedelics in groups could be especially useful for healing within Indigenous communities in North America.
The unique challenges Indigenous people face as they work to heal trauma with psychedelics and other modalities WHILE honoring their cultural lineage and treasured traditions of the past
What we can learn from Indigenous cultures as they heal inter-generational trauma that may hold the key to bringing together disparate groups within the psychedelic sector that would allow us to work together more effectively?
This episode covers some inspiring possibilities regarding the use of psychedelics to heal people, their families, and larger communities.
