Ancient civilizations healed with psychedelic plants before it was cool. Today, Indigenous cultures and non-Western communities still do. Finally emerging in the Western world, these transformative rituals are being rebranded as wellness retreats.
A longstanding tradition rather than a trend, psychedelic therapy can have a profound impact on perception of self and environment. For centuries, one could only find these experiences in remote Indigenous cultures. In the Peruvian jungle, for example, substances like San Pedro, peyote, and ayahuasca are seen as natural healers and are completely legal.
