Is the idea of journeying on psychedelics by yourself interesting to you? Does the thought of consuming them with others make you nervous? You’re not alone. People like tripping solo for a number of reasons, including diving deeper within yourself and emoting more freely. You might come out of it feeling raw, but also triumphant, like you’ve been on a heroic journey and made it through using only your inner strength. It can remind you that you have the ability to take care of yourself and that the answers you’re looking for are within you.
But it can also be extremely challenging. There’s also a ton of preparation that one must do beforehand to ensure that you’re safe and set up to have the experience your soul needs. In this workshop Mikaela de la Myco will talk to us about the benefits and challenges of consuming mushrooms alone, and tips on how to do so safely.
