Muslim Journeys Through Altered States & Ancestral Memory | MPLS Psychedelic Symposium 2025
This panel opens a space rarely made visible, where Muslim identity, ancestral longing, and psychedelic experience intersect. In a conversation rooted in vulnerability and reverence, panelists share personal stories of navigating conservative upbringings, self-policing, and spiritual disconnection, and how, through altered states and sacred medicines, they began to reclaim tenderness, presence, and spiritual spaciousness. Together, we explore what it means to return to ihsan (spiritual excellence) when the path has been blocked by fear, silence, and judgment. This is a rare and honest conversation. A gathering of Muslim voices who are unearthing silenced stories, softening hardened inner worlds, and courageously stepping through unseen doors. Join us for a powerful session of reflection, connection, and remembrance.
