My guest for this episode of Psychedelic Divas is Valeria McCarroll, PhD, LMFT, a psychedelic educator, writer, and speaker who teaches courses on psychedelic humanities at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Having been in the field of psychedelics for over a decade, Valeria has developed and taught curriculum for the training of psychedelic guides as well as serving as a consultant in the synthesis of ethical codes and navigating rupture and repair processes.   Valeria and I first met at an underground psychedelic gathering in 2015, and that fortuitous meeting has grown into a long-term friendship involving many collaborative adventures. In this conversation, Valeria elaborates on her extensive background in psychedelic work, highlighting her experience in non-dual wisdom traditions, somatics, psychedelics, and social justice. We chat about the significance of intuition, the integration of spiritual practices with psychedelics, and the role of the divine feminine in modern psychedelic practices. We also touch on the obstacles faced by the psychedelic community, like the FDA's decision on MDMA and the challenges of harmonizing underground and above-ground practices. It includes insights on creating effective psychedelic containers and the importance of rebalancing masculine and feminine energies in healing practices.   You can learn more about Valeria and her work at ValeriaMcCarroll.com You can also follow her on Instagram.   Learn more about Ralph Metzner's work at https://www.greenearthfound.org   Download our Psychedelic Safety Guide Including What to Do When Things Go Wrong at PsychedelicDivas.com   Did you know you could watch this episode on our YouTube Channel?
