Psychedelics & Migration: Healing Intergenerational Trauma Across Cultures

Malek Asfeer, Grace Cepe, Oriana Mayorga, Simran Preeti Sethi

Migration, whether forced or voluntary, often involves leaving one’s homeland, family, and cultural roots behind, which can result in profound emotional and psychological trauma. The trauma experienced can be passed down through the generations, shaping the lived experiences of migrants and generations of their descendants. This panel seeks to examine the ways in which psychedelic substances can be used as tools for healing migration-related trauma and reconnecting with ancestral roots. Panelists will also explore cultural integration of psychedelics in different immigrant communities, and the potential of psychedelics in addressing intergenerational trauma.
