About the Event
Course Overview
The Advanced Psychedelic Assisted Therapy workshop will build on a general understanding and will delve deeper into the intricacies of what supporting a psychedelic journey entails. The workshop will include discussions on the psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a therapeutic psychedelic experience.
Participants will experience various techniques, including mental and emotional preparation, intention setting, creating a supportive environment, and ensuring physical safety. We will review ceremonial aspects of the psychedelic experience to include discussion of different cultural and ceremonial practices associated with psychedelics, as well as creating a ceremonial atmosphere for the journey.
Instructors will simulate an experiential session using breathwork and guided imagery techniques to simulate an altered state of consciousness similar to that experienced during a psychedelic journey. This hands-on experience can provide valuable insights and help participants prepare for or integrate their actual psychedelic experiences.Â
The second half of the day will be devoted to small group break-out rooms to simulate integration sessions that follow journeys. Participants will learn strategies for integrating their experiences meaningfully and constructively.
Overall, this course aims to give attendees a comprehensive knowledge of understanding and working with psychedelics, combining theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to provide a well-rounded learning experience. Participants can expect to deepen their knowledge of psychedelics and gain practical skills for navigating and integrating therapeutic psychedelic experiences.
Who should attend?
Clinicians who have a foundational understanding of psychedelics from our previous course (or previous knowledge of psychedelic assisted therapy).
