Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this experience for?
Anyone interested in expanding their consciousness, improving quality of life, and becoming more present. The work is also excellent for releasing trauma, stuck energy and emotional heaviness. It is very often a path that brings us home to our selves, and back into connection with the divine, whatever that means to you.
Who is this experience not for?
Typically, anyone right in the middle of a major life shift may want to wait until the dust has settled a bit. (For example, athletes heading into the playoffs, or people navigating a cross-country move.) On a clinical note, schizophrenia is widely recognized as a contraindication for psychedelic work. We also do not work with clients with bipolar diagnoses, though we’re happy to have a conversation and offer appropriate referrals or alternative support.
Is it legal?
Yes. Psilocybin is legal to possess and ingest in Colorado.
What’s the benefit of having a guide?
A guide knows the terrain and handles all the logistics so that you can have a deeper, more full experience. The medicine space is unpredictable. Traveling with a sober, skilled person provides more opportunity for freedom, growth, solidarity, and advocacy for you on your journey. The guide facilitates and maintains a high level of integrity from the physical to the energetic. Being witnessed in your journey can also be a very powerful component. A guide is thinking the game along with you. On the most basic level, it’s really helpful to have someone to talk to before, during and after your journey.
What if I have a “bad trip”?
At Soul Logic, we believe there is no such thing as a “bad trip.” Often, the most challenging journeys end up being the most high leverage and liberating, with the most positive lasting impact. Also, what’s on the other side of a challenging journey is even more beautiful than the difficulty that came before it. (Think giant double rainbow after a rainstorm). So, we plan for, appreciate, and welcome the challenging experience.
That said, one of the reasons we provide the guidance that we do is to mitigate unnecessary negative effects. So many of the “bad trips,” we hear about are compounded by a lack of proper “set and setting.” (Harsh environment, feeling “trapped” in weird social situations, lack of knowledge about dosing and strain, etc.) So we prepare well, and then we embrace whatever journey arises.
How should I expect to feel?
Effects vary person to person. Count on your sense of time and space being altered. Expect deep thoughts, feelings and emotions. Many people report feeling a sense of union with nature, the Divine, themselves, and/or loved ones who’ve crossed over. The body often experiences changes in temperature. Many people feel sensations or “energy” running throughout their body. This can lead to a dramatic decrease in pain that was previously present. A small percentage of people feel nausea at the beginning of the journey. This nearly always passes rather quickly.
What is integration?
Integration is the bridge that allows you to bring the lessons, downloads, realizations and magic from your journey into your everyday life. Post-journey space is a little bit like being a newborn: highly sensitive, highly suggestible, and teeming with potential. Some say (and we agree) that integration is the most important part of the process.
