The BIPOC urban community are currently presented with threats in our ever-shifting world. This presentation aims to uncover what happens when said populations are given back their ancestral tools of transformation and ritual. It highlights the ancient power of that which has come to be known under its umbrella term shamanism. Specifically, this presentation also aims to show the safety of high dose mushroom work beyond the 10 grams range, and how initiation into it can help the release of traumas presented by the ongoing systemic limitations on marginalized people. As BIPOC LGBTQIA+ populations are amongst the most marginalized, this presentation focuses on their specific challenges, and how to rise above them.
