Ep. 17 – Psychedelics & Buddhism w/ Dr. Sara Lewis

Dr. Sara Lewis joins Madison to discuss psychedelics, Buddhism, trauma-informed meditation, collective healing, and the importance of integration.

Dr. Sara Lewis is an Associate Professor of Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology and Faculty Co-Director for Psychedelic Studies at Naropa University. Her work sits at the intersection of culture, religion, and mental health with an emphasis on trauma and non-ordinary states. She is the author of Spacious Minds: Trauma and Resilience in Tibetan Buddhism. Sara is also a psychotherapist in private practice offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in Boulder, CO.

"It's hard for me to separate my interest in Buddhism and psychedelics because they co-emerged, they came together. I knew what I was interested in, I knew what my questions were, and those were the two places where I was like, 'Here's where I might find some answers.'" – Dr. Sara Lewis
