Why This Pastor Turned to Psychedelics to Heal the Soul

Dana and Michelle sit down with Rev. Molly Baskette, co-senior minister of the First Congregational Church of Berkeley and author of five books. After nearly 30 years in ministry, Molly found herself called into a surprising second act—as a psychedelic chaplain.

She shares how she discovered “a new kind of medicine,” and now helps people heal and grow through guided psychedelic sessions. Molly walks us through the process of legal ketamine-assisted therapy—how it works, what it feels like, and why the real magic happens during integration, when people learn to harvest the insights and emotions from their experience and reconnect with their own inner healing intelligence.

For anyone seeking healing, meaning, or a renewed sense of purpose, this episode offers a powerful look at how ancient practices and modern medicine are reshaping what it means to live—and work—with authenticity and liberation.
