Psychedelics and the Soul | Free Book
Designed for a new generation of psychedelic facilitators and seekers, Psychedelics and the Soulinvokes the traditions of Jungian depth psychology, mythology, and Indigenous cultural wisdom to meet a critical question of our times: How can the emerging field of psychedelic medicine heal the soul amid planetary crisis and collective opportunity?
Psychedelic therapist Simon Yugler invites the reader on a mythological journey, using depth psychology to explore 10 universal themes that transcend our individual experiences—and reveal how psychedelic medicine can heal the soul and our collective unconscious in a time of uncertainty and initiation:
The Well: The Unconscious, Symbolism, & the Mythic UnknownThe Temple: Beyond Set & SettingThe Underworld: Shadow, Grief, & the Descent to SoulThe Serpent: Psychedelic Somatics & Shedding Your SkinThe Monstrous: Trauma, Exiles, & the Wound That HealsThe Trickster: Marginality, the Crossroads, & the Liminal RoadThe Guide: Power, Authenticity, & Inner AuthorityThe Sacred Mountain: Vision, Ecstasy, & Becoming NobodyThe Tree of Life: Animism, Climate Change, & the Ensouled EarthThe Journey Home: Integration, Community, & Dancing with the Village
Each archetype acts as a prism, using myth, fable, and universal wisdom to reflect back to the reader the collective experiences and unconscious truths that shape our psyches—and that are made more profound and accessible through psychedelics. Yugler shares how entheogens and plant medicine open a gateway to our understanding of our culture, selves, and interconnected reality toward wide-scale social and planetary healing.
