Psychedelic Therapies Offer a Tremendous Opportunity.
Entheogenic medicines can loosen up emotional trauma in the brain and enable it to heal. They can undo conditioning that causes people to (re)act to perceived threats in an overly strong manner.

They can increase people’s awareness and openness to understanding new perspectives, and to better understanding other people.
The ancient technology of these entheogenic medicines were practiced for thousands of years in these lands, but were forgotten in recent centuries. We have an opportunity to rediscover them, and to apply these natural plant medicines to healing ourselves, and by extension, our families and communities. A modest change in one or two people can transform the thought patterns and behavior of many others, by changing relationships for the better.
Former conflict zones often suffered decades of trauma. Life is quieter now, but the memories of times past linger, and this will remain imprinted upon all of us for a long time.
Let’s help bring these very promising medicines safely and legally to former conflict zones, such as Northern Ireland, for professionally-guided therapies that can help our people and communities to enjoy lasting healing.
