Overview

  • Sideropoulos suppressed her mother’s death from breast cancer in 1996 and saw her emotional coping strategy collapse after her father died of lung cancer in February 2024.
  • She ingested magic mushrooms like a tablet and spent eight hours on a guided psilocybin retreat abroad without hunger or sense of time.
  • During the session she underwent profound emotional release, describing it as opening a Pandora’s box of long-buried grief.
  • Three months after the experience she reported renewed energy and joy and no longer needed to expend effort suppressing her sorrow.
  • Her memoir Licht & Schatten – Das Geschenk der Gleichzeitigkeit arrives on June 25 to share her personal journey and reflect on the therapeutic promise of psychedelics.
