Synopsis

The First Devotional for Christians and Seekers Integrating Mystical or Psychedelic Experiences with Faith
#1 Amazon Best Seller in 9 Categories.

What if your most profound spiritual experiences—whether in prayer, in nature, in silence, or through psychedelics—were not detours from Christianity, but invitations deeper into it?

Beyond Words is the first 52-week devotional for Christians, spiritual explorers, and anyone integrating mystical or psychedelic experiences within a life of faith. Following the Year A lectionary, this companion offers weekly Gospel reflections written through what contributors call “the mystical lens”—a way of seeing Christ that honors both ancient Christian wisdom and contemporary spiritual awakening.

Featuring insights from 27 spiritual leaders across 15 Christian traditions, including participants in the Johns Hopkins and NYU psilocybin studies for clergy, this devotional explores how direct encounters with the Divine—through sacred medicine, contemplation, nature, or revelation—can deepen rather than diminish Christian faith.

Each week includes the Gospel passage, a mystical interpretation, personal stories of awakening, reflection questions, spiritual practices, and journaling prompts to support grounded integration and real transformation.

Inside You’ll Find

52 weekly entries following the liturgical calendar—from Advent through Christ the King
27 voices from 15 traditions, including Episcopal, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Quaker, Orthodox, UCC, contemplative, interspiritual, and Indigenous-informed perspectives
A mystical interpretation of each Gospel reading
Integration practices rooted in Christian spiritual formation
Reflection questions for personal insight or group discussion
Journal prompts for weaving breakthrough experiences into daily life
A gentle, grounded approach to psychedelic-informed spirituality
Theological wisdom that honors both Scripture and direct encounter

Perfect For

Christians integrating psychedelic or mystical experiences
Seekers longing for the sacred beyond institutional religion
Clergy, chaplains, therapists, and spiritual directors supporting spiritual emergence
Members of contemplative and mystical Christian communities
Deconstructing Christians seeking authentic, embodied faith
Psychedelic retreat participants wanting Christian meaning and integration
Small groups and study circles exploring faith through experience
Anyone exploring where orthodox faith meets unorthodox experience

If you refuse to choose between the depth of Christian spirituality and the truth of your lived experiences, this devotional is for you.

Why This Book Is Unique

While most devotionals interpret Scripture through tradition alone, Beyond Words expands the conversation through voices trained in mysticism, pastoral care, spiritual direction, Indigenous wisdom, and psychedelic chaplaincy. Contributors include clergy and religious professionals who participated in the landmark Johns Hopkins and NYU psilocybin studies, offering rare theological and experiential insight into how sacred medicine and Christian spirituality can speak to one another.

The result is an ecumenical, compassionate, and spiritually honest guide for the modern contemplative.

Begin Your Year of Awakening and Integration

Whether you’re making sense of a life-altering experience, stepping into a new chapter of faith, or seeking a devotional that meets the fullness of your inner world, Beyond Words will walk with you.

Start the journey today.
