How can people of color continue to build spaces for healing?
Holly Regan quoted POCPC's Ifetayo Harvey for Vice in this piece. Harvey says her experience at Mikaela’s ceremony “doesn’t necessarily fit into the box of successful clinical outcomes.” She once worked for the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), the organization behind the trials that might lead to legalization.
“There’s this desire to put psychedelic experiences in a box of good versus bad experiences, and sometimes it’s neither, or beyond,” she explains. “White epistemology requires certainty, and a lot of cultures these substances come from don’t require that.”
