ABOUT SAMSARA SIKHAL
People often seek out psychedelic medicine experiences to help heal traumas or find answers. Participants in psychedelic medicine-assisted healing modalities deserve physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual safety. They should never be subjected to discomfort, fear, or harm.
Fortunately, experiences during non-ordinary states of consciousness are usually respectful and safe.
But not always.
