Shiri Malcolm Godasi (She/Her) is a teacher, visionary creatrix, depth poet and mother. She is best known for her pioneering methods in the field of psychedelic integration and community activism, including founding 5 psychedelic harm reduction organizations.
She is now focused on helping folx come into right-relationship with psychedelics through her professional training program for psychedelic integration providers and emerging creative leaders, The Psyched Soul PlaySkool of Integration & Soulpreneurship.
She is passionate about creating a psychedelic-positive counterculture and empowering others to step into radical authenticity/radical action to co-create a just world.
