Questioning as an act of devotion, and experiencing purpose in service and community

Jaz Cadoch is an Amazigh Moroccan Jewish woman dedicated to rebuilding a relationship with her lineage, and a cultural and medical anthropologist who has spent the past nine years studying the integration of psychedelic medicines into modern Western policy, medicine, and culture. Jaz also serves as a co-steward of the Global Psychedelic Society, a role which is deeply connected to her psychedelic roots, in which she experienced loneliness and disconnection in childhood, eventually finding solace and purpose in her shared experiences supporting others and being supported in kind. In our conversation together, we also explore her spiritual foundations and how the acts of rejecting religion and subsequently 'remembering' have helped her integrate her lineages, curiosities, teachings and experiences of psychedelics and of the divine.
