5 Psychedelic Documentaries to Enjoy this Sofa Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t there something amazing about expanding your mind, your knowledge, and<\/em> your ability to share cool facts at a party \u2014 all from the comfort of the couch? Whether you\u2019re a seasoned psychedelics user, or someone keen to explore a new area of interest, we\u2019ve got some recs to help you get through this sofa season, and beyond!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Way of the Psychonaut: Stanislav Grof\u2019s Journey of Consciousness (2020)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This 2020 documentary follows the life and work of Stanislav Grof<\/a>. It explores his work in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, while incorporating elements from his original book of the same name. Grof is something of a unicorn, in that he is a psychedelic pioneer who has lived during both the first Western psychedelic era in the 1960s, and the current psychedelic renaissance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his youth in Czechoslovakia, to his exile to the United States, his work with Timothy Leary<\/a> and beyond, this is the portrait of a pioneer who believed psychedelics could treat disorders such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety decades before the wider scientific establishment copped themselves on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you should watch:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, Grof is a psychedelic pioneer who has dedicated his career to healing people via altered states, despite the adversity he has faced. It’s a truly inspirational story.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
