Study Trip

A study trip is a psychedelic journey you embark upon to learn about the world.

Whether you are looking to integrate a single experience into your life, or you have your own dedicated practice; whether you work with plants, meditations or other techniques; whether you are a creative professional or you simply wonder how psychedelics are linked to art, this book speaks to you. You might be curious, confused, excited or even a little scared, as the subject is often clouded in taboo. This book clarifies confusion and celebrates mystery.

Dozens of art and design examples illustrate and accompany chapters on all aspects of psychedelic study described in no-nonsense language, including intention, dosage, dangers, documentation, entities and encounters, substances and methods, co-creation and collaboration, not-knowing, non-action and much more.

Study Trip offers a lucid guide through artistic, scientific, social, material and spiritual issues around psychedelics, with the goal of helping you find your own way, and your own deeper questions.
