Ideas Worth Sharing:
“The source of the medicine matters immensely. Not only how it was grown, where it was grown, or who it was grown by, but also who holds it, who touches it, and who imprints upon it. All of that is very important.” - Kayse Gehret
“Yes, you can journey alone, I just really encourage you to do it with support, education, a strong sense of relationship with the medicine and also have a community around you of colleagues, a psychedelic society, integration circles, or a microdosing buddy that you’re practicing with to make sure you’re grounded and resourced.” - Kayse Gehret
“Get curious because nature and [plant medicine] are very wise. There is nothing that nature does that is not intentional.” - Kayse Gehret
