Women On Psychedelics

WOOP is a psychedelic educational platform and event organizer. The current psychedelic movement is very privileged.

Women On Psychedelics is a volunteer-led educational platform to highlight the voices of women who are experts, enthusiasts, or advocates. We open this space to host more self-reflexive conversations on how intersectionality impacts psychedelic research and subculture and to provide education for those who are looking to learn more about the use of these compounds. Not everyone has access to these

medicines or will when they become legalized. It’s critical we also prioritize social justice work and create safe spaces for marginalized people, women, LGBTQIA+, and survivors of trauma and violence. We believe in psychedelics as tools for women's healing, self-liberation, and empowerment. And we also believe that these tools can also be used to undo “social programming” imposed by the patriarchy. We are gladly open to contributions from men, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, who share our values and support of our mission/vision.

To be in a woman’s body in this world is to know the subtle, and not-so-subtle, negotiations of safety.

In plant medicine spaces, where vulnerability is heightened and the body is opened, this becomes even more pronounced.

Safety is not just an abstract concept, but the foundation upon which true transformation can unfold. Without it, the medicine cannot do its deeper work.

A truly safe space is not just one without harm, but one where a woman can relax the armour she has had to wear. It is a space where she is not just protected but deeply seen, where her experience is not an afterthought but a guiding force.

It is a space where facilitators understand the nuances of power and protection, where the intention is not to control her experience, but to create conditions for her to explore it fully.

We must move beyond the idea that plant medicine alone heals.

It is the container, the relationships, the agreements we hold with one another that determine what is possible.

Women’s safety in these spaces is not a secondary concern. It is the medicine itself. And when women feel safe, something extraordinary happens: they remember their power.

And when women remember their power, the world shifts.

Psychedelics do not just reveal the self. They dissolve it, reminding us that we are not separate from the world we move through.

The Earth is not a backdrop to our healing, but an active participant, a teacher, a living being with wisdom far older than human memory.

The medicine, in its truest form, does not just open our minds: it roots us back into relationship, into the knowing that our well-being is bound to the well-being of the land, the water, the sky.

But to walk this path with integrity, we must ask: How do we honor the Earth as we seek healing?

How do we move beyond extraction (of resources, of traditions, of wisdom) and into reciprocity?

Psychedelics are not just tools for self-expansion, they are invitations to tend, to restore, to give back. The visions they offer are not meant to stay in ceremony rooms but to be woven into the soil of our daily lives.

Caring for the Earth is not a metaphor. It is a responsibility.

It is in how we harvest, how we protect indigenous knowledge, how we listen to the land and let it shape the way we move.

If the medicines teach us anything, it is that we are not here to take, we are here to be in right relationship. And that, too, is healing.

Psychedelics can open us to profound truths, but what do we do with them?

The danger of insight without action is that it can turn into escapism, a fleeting experience rather than a catalyst for real change. The true test of healing is not in what happens during the journey, but in how we live afterwards.

For those who have access to these medicines, there is a responsibility: to move beyond personal enlightenment and ask how our healing can contribute to something larger.

What does it mean to integrate not just for the self, but for the collective?

How do we use what we learn in altered states to shift systems, to repair harm, to build a world that reflects the interdependence we glimpse in the psychedelic experience?

Healing is never just personal. The medicine teaches that we are woven into each other, into the earth, into histories and futures that stretch beyond what we can see.

The question is not just how do I heal? But how do I serve?

Because in the end, healing is not just about feeling better, it is about becoming better stewards of life itself.

Psychedelics don’t just reveal the self.

They dissolve the illusion that we were ever separate from the web of life. In these states, the trees speak, the rivers pulse with memory, and the soil becomes sacred text.

The ecological crisis we face is not just a political or scientific issue, it is a spiritual one. It stems from forgetting that we belong to the Earth, not the other way around.

The insight these medicines offer is clear: we are not above nature, we are nature.

But insight is not enough. The work is in how we return: how we listen more deeply to the land, how we choose reciprocity over extraction, how we embody the kinship we remember in ceremony.

Psychedelics can reawaken ecological consciousness, but that awakening must be lived: through the food we eat, the systems we challenge, the futures we imagine.

Because healing the Earth begins with remembering we are her.

A capitalist culture cannot hold the vastness of a somatic awakening. That’s why sometimes the most difficult part of a psychedelic journey is often the return.

In the ceremony, the medicine softens our armour. It melts the rigid defences we built just to survive, giving our nervous systems a taste of absolute belonging, deep grief, or unbound freedom. For a few hours, we inhabit a body that remembers how to breathe, connect, and just be.

And then, we are dropped right back into a Western world that demands the exact opposite.

We wake up the next day and have to step back into a culture of hyper-individualism, grinding productivity, and structural isolation. We try to bring this vast, tender, newly awakened somatic reality into a subway, an office, a spreadsheet, or a system that views our bodies merely as machines for labour.

Integration is not journaling or a mental review of your insights. It is a slow, heavy, physical negotiation.

The friction you might feel during integration is not a personal failure. It is the clash between a newly liberated nervous system and an oppressive social environment.

When you try to integrate a collective, relational experience inside a culture that isolates you, the body experiences a profound shock. It naturally wants to close back up, to freeze, to rebuild the armour just to stay safe.

We cannot do the work of embodied integration alone.

It requires a soft place to land. It requires slow time, collective care, and communities that can hold us while our skin is still thin. If we want our insights to live, we have to stop treating integration as a personal chore and start building the relational ecosystems that make a transformed life actually sustainable.

Women are frequently viewed as the gentler s*x throughout many cultures around the world. In society’s eyes, women are expected to be dainty, fragile and made of sugar and spice and everything nice.

From birth, swaddled in pink blankets, women are expected to adhere to their strictly outlined gender role, and when they don’t, they are judged harshly for breaking the norm.⠀
⠀
Women face societal stigmas in every area of life: at work, home, school, in the community and even regarding drug and alcohol use.

Having a drug addiction or living with a mental health disorder is highly stigmatizing, but a woman who struggles with these conditions may face more societal backlash than a man would.⠀
⠀
Substance abuse isn’t necessarily praised among either gender, but women are ridiculed more harshly than men for the same drug and alcohol use behaviors.

Women who break societal norms and defy gender roles (especially by doing something illegal) risk being labelled as bad or immoral. While substance use disorders are still considered moral failings, a woman with addiction faces additional discrimination because of her gender.⠀
⠀
In what ways can we work together to reduce the stigma around women and drugs? Let us know in the comments!

We all know (or we should know!) that in the history of the so-called Western civilization, which is so proud of itself, women have systematically suffered countless forms of physical, psychological, economic, s*xual, and symbolic violence.

Unfortunately, these forms of violence are still present in contemporary society. The gender pay gap and the limited representation of women in positions of power and leadership compared to men are just two examples.

The marks of patriarchy also extend to the control and surveillance of female bodies. Deprived over the centuries of freedom in relation to themselves, women have often been given the place of spectators of their own lives, with men playing the role of managers and administrators of their bodies and desires.

The impacts of these biopolitics are also felt in the establishment of medical/hospital protocols that remove the autonomy of women from pregnancy to childbirth (in some cases resulting in obstetric violence) and in the stigma of traditional practices of care for the female body.

Further, the contribution of women to Western psychedelic culture has been traditionally undervalued both by psychedelic practitioners within the culture and in mainstream coverage of the culture.

For these and other reasons, it is very important that when we discuss psychedelics, we emphasize female agency and the solidarity networks formed by women, which are an important aspect of the relationship between human beings and sacred plants and the formation of cultures, religions, and collective representations associated with their consumption.

Grief is a universal and universally difficult part of being a person. In the past years, in addition to the commonplace grieving we all experience following loss, we’ve experienced some deeply complicated, multi-layered grief.

Grieving for the people we know (and those that we don’t) lost the coronavirus pandemic, grieving for the experiences and time with loved ones for everyone’s safety, grieving for the loss of normalcy and all the time we can’t get back.

Folks going through grief and loss frequently have a sense of disconnection from both themselves and the outside world. There are feelings of loneliness, isolation, and a sensation that one's life no longer has any value or purpose might result from this.

Psyched-lics have shown to increase openness and a sense of connection to the cosmos, both of which can be helpful for people going through a loss of a loved one.

Giving folks who are mourning a fresh perspective on their loss is one of the main ways that psychedelics can be of use to them.

Have you used psychedelics to help dealing with grief? Let us know in the comments or reach out to us in private if you would like to share your story

Heart intelligence is the flow of awareness, understanding, and intuition we experience when the mind and emotions are coherently aligned with the heart.

It can be activated through self-initiated practice, and the more we pay attention when we sense the heart speaking to us or guiding us, the more frequently we can access this intelligence and guidance.

The highest intelligence of the heart knows no separation as the ego does. When we live from our hearts, life becomes freer and less of a struggle.

We learn to let go and surrender. We forgive. We allow all the barriers shielding our hearts to fall away so that we get to love everyone we meet without condition.

This is what the spiritual heart knows to do. We get to be vulnerable, which allows for deep self-love and self-compassion, as well as deep love and compassion for everyone else.

Self-attunement is the ability to tune in to our own emotional states, needs, and perspectives.

It is the beginning of learning how to shift our sense of self as we evolve, meeting it with curiosity, empathy, and self-compassion.

Tuning in to yourself is the foundation of well-being. Attuning requires slowing down, opening to your surroundings, and paying attention to subtlety and nuance. ⁣
⁣
Attuning is the foundation for all human connection and the foundation of our own wellbeing: attuning to others and attuning to yourself. ⁣To develop self-attunement, it is important to practice mindfulness and self-compassion.

Mindfulness is the ability to pay attention to the present moment without judgment. It allows us to observe our own thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without getting caught up in them.

Self-compassion is the ability to be kind and understanding towards ourselves, even when we make mistakes or experience difficult emotions.

By learning to tune in to ourselves, we can gain greater insight into our own emotional states and needs, and develop the ability to respond to them in a healthy and adaptive way.
