The Mainstreaming of Microdosing 🍄🟫
Yesterday I was part of a Community Conversation on my friend & colleague Dana Harvey's podcast and educational platform The Flourish Academy along with Jordan Gruber, author - with James Fadiman - of the new book "Microdosing for Health, Healing & Enhanced Performance." While we and many others were participating, I was reflecting in my mind just how very neat it must be for Jim & Jordan - whose work has been foundational in the field - to witness microdosing become a true profession... an art, science & practice undertaken by millions around the world. 🌎
The day before, in my microdosing immersion group calls, four different participants in the program reported they'd reached out to their psychiatrists and prescribers in the last week. Feeling better than they have in a long time with microdosing, they'd reached out to inquire if their doctor would support them in tapering down their pharmaceutical medications.
Not only did their doctors respond positively, all of them were open, supportive, curious - three of them even asked where they could go to learn more! And best of all, there was a distinct feeling in their encounters that the most important thing was the client's health and happiness, which made them all feel wonderful (and a little surprised!)
🌅 These moments over the last few days have been, for me, a special marker. I've been in the healing arts for thirty years now... and when I look back there are distinct moments when I can feel things shifting - subtly but powerfully - in a remarkable way. So many of us dedicated to this work have been shamed, ridiculed, mocked, maligned and looked-sideways-at by various factions & tribes that it is not always so easy to share openly in these spaces.
But today feels like that is changing - or at least beginning to - as we collectively begin to remember that nature has always and forever been central to human healing, growth and spiritual communion. Despite everything we see unravelling in the modern day over-culture, something tells me that the forces of nature are awakening within us once again.
