Jeffrey Breau, CSWR, Psychedelic Intersections: 2024 Conference Anthology
Jeffrey Breau explores the role that intention-setting rituals play in psychedelic settings, drawing from ethnographic research at the annual Burning Man gathering in Black Rock City, Nevada. He argues that intention-setting is best understood as a “rite of sacralization,” a practice meant to symbolically mark a psychedelic trip as special and sacred.
