I am a tenured professor of Religious Studies at an R1 public university, and I also am a licensed facilitator for the Oregon Psilocybin Services program. As part of my facilitation training, I did a psychedelic practicum at a medical clinic that offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Whereas much of my psychedelic facilitation training argues that psychedelics transport people to a Jungian transpersonalist realm where they have healing mystical encounters with divine beings and/or ultimate reality, my ketamine journey revealed two, quite different insights about entheogens and Religious Studies. First, psychedelics taken in therapeutic contexts could help scholars uncover the deepest subconscious narratives that shape the interpretive impulses that frame their scholarship. Second, the interpersonal “container” of therapeutic psychedelics expanded my definition of “the sacred” by giving me an experience of sacrality as human relationships of deep trust and mutual care.
