Allison’s Journey into Psychedelic Nursing at Eleusinia

In this episode, we sit down with Allison, a core member of the medical team at Eleusinia Retreat, to explore her deeply personal and professional journey into psychedelic care.

After spending more than 30 years working as an ER nurse, Allison came to Eleusinia as a guest seeking her own healing experience. What she discovered during that journey profoundly changed her life and revealed a new calling: psychedelic nursing.

Allison shares what it was like to transition from the intensity of emergency medicine into the deeply human work of supporting people in vulnerable, non-ordinary states of consciousness. She reflects on the meaning of joining the Eleusinia team, the importance of compassionate presence, and the privilege of holding space for transformation and healing.

This conversation offers a powerful glimpse into the heart of psychedelic care, the evolution of nursing, and the profound impact of witnessing human transformation up close.
