But Rodgers has been in the news for several other reasons apart from his footballing career. During an interview on ‘The Aubrey Marcus podcast’, Rodgers talked about finding inner peace and healing from trauma to be his goal in life at the moment. But the QB has made the headlines again after news of him being a part of the ‘largest Psychedelic Gathering in history’ took the NFL world by storm.
It seems that Aaron Rodgers is shining a light on his own future, but it is not about his career in the NFL.

According to an article by TMZ, the Packers’ QB is going to be one of the many featured guests in the ‘Psychedelic Science 2023’ event to be held in June. The conference will have about 10,000 attendees who will take part in discussions of all sorts of hallucinogens. The event will include speeches, workshops, and panel discussions related to psychedelics.
Aaron Rodgers is not new to the world of psychedelics. The 39-year-old quarterback has been open about his use of Ayahuasca, a plant-based psychedelic during his trip to Peru in 2020. He also states that it helped improve his mental state during his 2020 and 2021 seasons in the NFL. Rodgers also had spoken about his use of shrooms in a brewed drink during his trip to South America.
While the conference will be in June, it will give Rodgers time to reflect on his NFL career finally as well, apart from his newfound path.
Fans stunned by Rodger’s psychedelic news
The news of Aaron Rodgers’ psychedelic appearance has left the NFL world in shock. Many fans took to social media to express their thoughts on the decision taken by the Packers QB.
