Real journeys, told all the way through

“The more intention and preparation I put into the experience, the more I seem to take from it.”

“I stopped trying to delete what happened and started learning how to carry it.”

“I thought anxiety was something to get rid of. It turned out to be information.”

“It is a legitimate outcome to try something, learn from it and say no thank you.”

“The business was fine. I was the thing that was broken, and I had built a life where nobody could tell me that.”

“Nothing exotic saved me. A meeting on Tuesdays and a phone number saved me.”

“Eventually I realised I wasn't looking for one thing to fix me. I was learning a completely different way to take care of myself.”

“For eighteen years someone told me what to do at 6am. Then nobody did, and I fell apart quietly.”

“Grief did not get smaller. My life got bigger around it.”

“Everyone wanted to talk about mushrooms. I wanted to know what my own mind did when nothing was added to it.”

“The experience itself was frightening. The year afterwards is what actually changed me, and only because I got help with it.”

“I read about psychedelics for two years and then fixed most of it with a bedtime.”

“The twelfth attempt was not more willpower. It was a different plan.”
