Over the course of six weeks you will reconnect deeply with your psychedelic experiences in order to identify and embody the insights you have gained in sustainable ways and integrate them into daily life. You will be guided thorough a process in six structured steps to support you in unfolding both the challenging and the beneficial aspects you may have uncovered using a process underpinned by acceptance and commitment therapy.
Each week will cover one specific aspect and the modules will build on each other. It’s a chance to process your biographical experiences in relation to your experiences in altered states of consciousness. This could have been induced through the use of a psychedelic substance or using non-pharmacological methods such as meditation, yoga, breath work, trance or any other state that can induce profound and challenging experiences.
All of this is done in a therapeutic group setting to enable you to process these experiences in connection to others. A variety of experiential methods will be called upon such as movement practices, meditations, breathwork, music journeys, art therapy, sharing circles, psychoeducation and other methodologies and exercises.
This group is aimed at any one with experience of altered states of consciousness but may also be useful for psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and facilitators who are learning about these methods. It might be a useful process to undertake post retreat or after therapeutic treatment sessions It might be a useful process to undertake post retreat or after therapeutic treatment sessions and can be combined with intention setting and preparation sessions.
No substances will be used in this group. The focus is on developing a practice of integration to deepen past and future use of altered states of consciousness.
