We are amid what is being termed a "psychedelic renaissance." Psychedelics (e.g., psilocybin, mescaline, and ayahuasca) have long been used for medical and spiritual purposes across cultures. Presently, psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is being studied and deployed for a stunning array of medical conditions. The scientific literature copiously documents the “consistent presence of SERT (spiritual, existential, religious, and theological) experiences in PAT, often focusing specifically on mystical-type experiences.” Especially striking is the importance ascribed to SERT experiences as potential mediators of healing with respect to mental health disorders rather than a mere byproduct. Furthermore, with increasing legal access to psychedelics, more people are exploring their spiritual potential outside of a medical context, either individually or collectively in organized retreats. Meanwhile, the church is arguably largely unaware of, or uninvolved in the conversation. This project will equip the church to participate intelligently, skillfully, ethically, and meaningfully with the ways psychedelics and the Christian tradition connect (or not) so that the church can better serve those seeking healing and spiritual growth. The four areas it will address are: medical/therapeutic contexts, spiritual formation contexts, justice issues, and harm reduction considerations.
