As a collective, you aren’t safe for us.
When I ask Black people what they need to feel safe in a psychedelic session, many respond with “to not have white people there.”
Many of us don’t want to do healing work with you.
If reading that offends you, then you should absolutely dip out here.
The reason I believe many of us feel this way is:
-You haven’t done the work to acknowledge your ancestral trauma and the harm it caused.
-You haven’t done the work to unlearn the beliefs and ideas that caused the harm.
-You haven’t done the work to start to repair the harm through social justice.
Acknowledge. Unlearn. Repair.
And if you start to say “but wait, not me. I…” then you’ve kinda missed my point.
