Writing & research
How do entheogens impact the experience and expression of sexuality?
Kewal is currently continuing research on the topics of entheogens and sexuality, which often circles back to core issues of self-acceptance, self-love, and connection. What began as exploratory research as part of a master's project, has now evolved into an interview phase of independent research. Kewal is completing interviews and is working on expanded writings about the subject.
An article that touches on findings from her initial survey research can be found here: Can Psychedelics Open Us to Pleasure?
A podcast on the topic can be found here: Sexuality, Pleasure, & Psychedelics with Kewal Wright, interviewed by Stuart Preston

Criteria:
- 18+ years old
- Personal experience with entheogens ((e.g., ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, iboga, peyote) in past 3 years
- Consent (a signed waiver/consent form is the one item that requires legal name - this is so that permission is on file. Aside from that, any writing or research shared can have an alias or legal name, as the interviewee chooses.)
- English fluency (interviews are conducted in English)
Interviews are done via Zoom and are recorded and transcribed for accuracy during the writing process. Kewal uses an AI program for transcription help and is the only human who hears or sees the interview. Interviews usually take around one hour and are done on a volunteer basis.
