SUMMARY:Workshop: Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThe past two decades have seen a proliferation of research on psychedelic medicines for the treatment of depression\, anxiety\, and post-traumatic stress disorder\, among other conditions. Slowly but surely\, researchers are also beginning to look at how psychedelics medicines can support sexual flourishing\, enhance sexual satisfaction\, and support greater sexual self-acceptance. This workshop will explore not only the current research on psychedelics and sexuality\, but go far beyond that to ask questions about how prohibiting pleasure has molded our current drug laws\, why pleasure is omitted from the narrative about psychedelic healing\, and how psychedelics can help us to embrace our erotic power for optimal sexual experiences and sexual self-actualization. \nThis interactive workshop is based on the book\, Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality. The workshop will aim to foster dialogue about psychedelics and sexuality\, explore a “psychedelic” philosophy of sex and pleasure\, and provide concrete strategies for psychedelic preparation and integration practices helpful to sexual trauma survivors\, couples\, and individuals interested in exploring and enhancing their sexuality. Power\, desire\, ethics\, and the dangers and pitfalls that can occur in mixing sex and psychedelics will also be discussed. Undergirding our exploration will be a critique of the neo-liberal and capitalist structures that exist in our society and in psychedelic science that prevent us from embracing pleasure\, creating community\, and engaging in meaningful erotic connection while centering on the uplifting message that pleasure (and psychedelics medicines) have the power to heal us. \nThis workshop is suitable for therapists\, psychedelic facilitators and guides\, sex educators and coaches\, as well as those interested in how psychedelics can enhance and heal our sexuality.
