This is part 1 of a 3-part series on psychedelic-assisted healing. If you’re interested in working with plant medicine but have questions or are unsure of where to start, this 3-part series is made for you. In the spirit of supporting both safe and healing journeys, in Part 1 we’ll lay the groundwork and provide an overview to working with a variety of psychedelic plants and substances. In addition to covering the basic underlying neurobiology and the therapeutic applications of psychedelics, empathogens, and cannabinoids, we will discuss the various types, dosages, and protocols (as well as cautions) that may be followed for their effective use, based on the latest research. We’ll also move beyond scientific understandings and discuss spiritual frameworks for understanding experiences of altered consciousness. I will also provide tips for dropping in, and for navigating psychedelic journeys. The course is delivered via Zoom and will close with a Q&A - you are welcome to submit any questions you have in advance or ask them during the live session. Upcoming dates for future live classes will be posted both here and on Instagram.
