Relationship, Reciprocity, Integration, and Interconnection: An Indigenous Perspective on Healing Trauma With Psychedelic Medicines

Broadcast on May 11, 2023
With Susan Beaulieu, MPP
Hosted by Joe Tafur, MD

Settler colonization and capitalism across the U.S. have generated high levels of unresolved, compounded trauma and grief for Indigenous peoples. According to Susan Beaulieu, MPP, as the psychedelic renaissance ramps up, there is an opportunity to intentionally bring Indigenous healers and wisdom keepers into the fold to honor the sovereignty and self-determination of Indigenous nations for healing, as well as to create space for Indigenous wisdom to guide and strengthen psychedelic efforts for collective healing.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • An Indigenous perspective on trauma and healing, including a medicine wheel meditation
  • The critical role of Spirit and integration in healing with psychedelics
  • Tribal sovereignty and Indigenous wisdom should drive the psychedelic healing work with Indigenous populations
The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.
