I have to view this, over all, as a beneficial experience for many people.
After reading the article, these retreats certainly sound as though they are a step in a positive direction for our massive culture of shallowness. And, one would think that it could only move society further towards a general shift in attitude towards psychedelic use.
That being acknowledged, a serious part of me really wants to roll my eyes, shake my head and chuckle condescendingly.
Freedom's so hard
When we are all bound by laws
Etched in the scheme of nature's own hand
Unseen by all those who fail
In their pursuit of fate
