Share Your Voice. Shape the Conversation. www.theconsciousstem.co.uk
The Conscious Stem invites submissions from writers, researchers, clinicians, practitioners, and explorers working at the edges of consciousness, spirituality, psychedelics, and cannabis medicine. We are building a platform for thoughtful, grounded, and transformative writing that emphasizes holistic health, and we welcome contributions that challenge, inspire, and expand understanding.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We publish work that engages with any of the following areas:
Consciousness & Spirituality
- spiritual emergency/emergence
- non-ordinary states
- transpersonal and integrative psychology
- meditation, breathwork, somatic practices
- meaning, purpose, identity, and transformation
Psychedelics & Plant Medicines
- psychedelic-assisted therapy
- psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, DMT, mescaline
- cannabis culture and cannabis medicine
- indigenous and entheogenic traditions
- microdosing, creativity, intuition
- integration, harm reduction, ethical use
Culture & Contemporary Healing
- mental health innovation
- personal narratives
- policy, ethics, and cultural change
- holistic, trauma-informed approaches
If your work sits anywhere within these intersections, especially relating to psychedelic philosophy, we want to read it.
WHAT WE VALUE
- Clarity — insightful, readable writing
- Depth — thoughtful exploration, lived experience or research
- Integrity — respectful engagement with altered states
- Originality — new ideas, perspectives, or narratives
Submissions can include:
- essays
- personal stories
- reflections
- interviews
- research summaries
- commentary pieces
- artwork with accompanying text
HOW TO SUBMIT
Please send your work to [email protected]
Include:
- your name
- your piece (attached or pasted)
- a brief author bio
- Any relevant links or social media
We read all submissions personally and reply to everyone.
HARM REDUCTION & ETHICS
We do not promote illegal or unsafe use of substances. We welcome work that reflects:
- informed practice
- cultural respect
- personal responsibility
- grounded integration
JOIN THE CONVERSATION
Whether you’re an academic, practitioner, psychonaut, or simply someone with an experience that changed your understanding of consciousness and spiritual awareness, your voice has a place here. We look forward to reading your work.
Payment
As we are newly launching The Conscious Stem, we are currently able to offer only a small payment for accepted submissions. It isn’t much at this early stage, but we believe in valuing our contributors and will continue to grow our rates as the platform develops. We deeply appreciate every writer who helps us build this space from the ground up.
