We find ourselves in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance. These substances are gaining widespread attention for their promising results in treating mental suffering. But there are also retreats where psychedelics are used not as therapy, but as a tool for spiritual exploration and deepening one's relationship with the divine.

What happens when a priest who doubts and also suffers from depression attends such a retreat?

Psychedelic Psalm follows Jo Hegle Sjøflot, a Lutheran priest struggling with both doubt and depression, on his journey to a legal Christian retreat that uses psychedelic substances to deepen spiritual practice and faith.

The film explores how this journey affects Jo's faith, his mental health and his understanding of God, – seen through both a spiritual and societal lens. It poses a bold question: Can the Church acknowledge that psychedelic experiences might offer glimpses of the divine it has preached about for centuries?

Psychedelic Psalm delves into the intersection of theology, psychology and mysticism, offering an intimate portrait of one man's struggle to reconcile doubt, faith, and the possibility of transcendence.
