I am new to this topic and I am curious about psychedelic medicine and want to talk about it. To begin we will have everyone share briefly about a person who inspired you to be curious about psychedelics or psychedelic medicine. This can be someone you know or whose work reached you in some way. Share briefly about this person and why they inspired you. If you haven’t experienced psychedelic medicine share with the table any fears, hesitations and hopes you have about psychedelics for you personally. If you have experienced psychedelics, either in a clinical or non-clinical setting, share what if any healing benefit you have received from the medicine or experience. Have you read or watched any news coverage or other source of information that has made you skeptical of psychedelics as a healing medicine? Have you read or watched anything that has made you hopeful about the benefits of psychedelic medicine? Have you spoken with anyone who has had a psychedelic experience? What did you take away or learn? How connected do you feel to yourself? Do you feel that a psychedelic experience would make you feel more connected to your authentic self? Do you feel that it is likely for you to pursue psychedelic treatment of any kind personally? If so, is there a specific treatment or medicine that you are interested in? End each dinner with a simple game called: Appreciation in the Round. This begins with someone at the table turning to the person on their left, and telling them something you admire or respect about them. They might be a person you met tonight, so you can highlight something you heard them express during your time together. This will start a chain reaction that continues around the table, each person admiring someone sitting on their left until everyone has been appreciated.
