like a lot of my friends, before the age of 18, we did copious amounts of LSD, mushrooms, peyote, mescaline, ecstasy, and nitrous oxide. not to mention dabbling with PCP, amphetamines, cocaine, heroin, opium, diazepam, and any number of synthetic opiates. oh, and obviously, boatloads of weed and alcohol. I'm for mind and soul-bending drugs and/or experiences. but i will just caution you and your readers in one way: the mistake i made; the mistake my nephew made (now missing for 2-years and presumed dead of a fentanyl or heroin overdose), is that whether drugs, conversation, sex, alcohol, politics, spirituality, etc: they key is 'dialing it in' or 'balance.' And that dial or tolerance isn't the same for everyone, individually or relationally. but i strongly believe that theme holds true across virtually every aspect of life. dial it in!
Beautiful, Chloe! While I probably will not be able to take an Ayahuasca Journey, I experience the contemplative life as a way to experience what you speak of - the Divine compassion, holding, purifying, healing and unitive Love.

This strengthens my feeling that I gotta try a psychedelic ceremony soon
Peace.
