Dear friends,
Thank you again for your support for this book project vision. In the
past few weeks, I have started to feel that this blog has been becoming a bit
scattered, jumping between topics and not thoroughly exploring the ones
brought up. There is a LOT of information out there, and I have been getting a bit confused and bogged down by the choices I need to make. Then I realized that ultimately, I am not even interested in just presenting information. I want this
book to be able to impact people powerfully, especially parents who are
in the same situation in which I found myself. I want it to become part of the societal conversation around the sovereign choice to use entheogens for personal, spiritual transformation and connection, and around the freedom to consciously raise our children with the possibility of direct spiritual experience superseding religion, convention, dogma, and even faith, should they choose that path.
I also feel that my
original timeline (of this project being complete by the end of this year) has become unrealistic, and at the risk of losing
momentum, feel the need to take a step back in this process and regroup.
As a result of these reflections, I have decided to take a short
hiatus from writing this weekly blog, and focus instead on the essential
questions I want the book to answer. I will also be continuing my
research in all areas and intend to begin interviewing parents soon.
Please look for another update in about four weeks. I hope to have some
greater clarity and more importantly, better writings to share with you
all!
Blessings to you and happy harvest season!

Hi Harmony,
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested in this topic. I've been using entheogens for my own growth and healing and I've been wondering how to fit that in with my family. My kids are currently 2 and 4.
I'm having trouble leaving comments on your blog (because it doesn't work with my Wordpress account and there's no way to leave comments as user without association with any kind of account (Wordpress, Google+, etc.) I'd really like to comment on your blog, but I'd like to either use Wordpress or nothing at all (not Google+ as I forced to do right now). Also, I can't find any way to contact you (besides comments). I can't find your email on either this blog of in your Google+ profile. Is that on purpose?
Anyway, this is a super important topic. I hope many others engage in it.
Thanks!
Ryan
