On Touch:

Considerations for Altered States and Psychedelic Practice v1.0

You cannot touch …

… without being touched.

Dear Co-learning Community,

I’m thrilled to share the first draft of a project close to my heart: On Touch: Considerations for Altered States and Psychedelic Practice (v1.0). This living document offers practical insights into navigating boundaries, consent, and the complexities of touch within psychedelic spaces.

We believe this guide can make a meaningful impact, but your voice is essential to shaping its evolution. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, a curious learner, or someone with lived experience, your perspectives will enrich the depth and relevance of this work.

How You Can Contribute:

  • Read through the document at your convenience.
  • Share Comments on areas you feel passionate about or where you see room for improvement.
  • Invite Others who may benefit from or contribute to this dialogue.
  • Your feedback will guide the next iteration, with plans to open it to broader community input by January 1, 2025.

Let’s co-create something transformative together!

Warmly,
Suz
