Julian talks with Jen about psychedelic assisted therapy, the benefits and risks of working with psychedelic medicine and ways to develop a healthier relationship with Cannabis Sativa as well as teachings on how to engage with Cannabis when on your own that can lead to deeper healing and transformation.
About Jen Fiser: Jen served as the supervisor and clinical director for Innate Path for three years and was instrumental in developing the model of psychedelic psychotherapy used at the clinic. She now heads up the Innate Path Psychedelic Psychotherapy training, offers individual and group supervision and sees clients. Her education  includes Buddhist psychology, somatic psychotherapy and group process, with work experience as a teacher, supervisor, group process leader, meditation instructor and therapist in private practice. Her interests are mainly in making psychedelic and psychedelically-informed care accessible to as many people as possible because it offers much needed solutions to a system that often does more harm than good.
