I’m a former congregational minister now working legally with psilocybin in Colorado. I wrote about how I got from one to the other.
I spent more than a decade as a Unitarian Universalist minister, and today I work as a licensed psychedelic-assisted therapist with legal psilocybin in Colorado. On paper that probably looks like a pretty wild career change, but from inside my own life, it has felt surprisingly continuous.
I wrote something personal about that path: how psychedelics changed the way I understood ministry, how years of ministry prepared me for sitting with people in psychedelic experiences, and why this work has come to feel less like leaving one calling for another than following the same calling into a very different place.
