June 27, 2020 @ 11:30 am - 2:30 pm PDT

An exploration into the rising popularity of plant medicines, their master species and the importance of preparation vs. integration. What is the archetype of the Shaman: Friend or Foe?
Join a collective of inquiring intellects exploring perspectives pertaining to ancient healing philosophies which include the ingesting of sacramental “medicines” to inspire the search for “entheos” or “the GOD within.”
“Life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience that primordial shamanism is based on is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego.” TERENCE MCKENNA

Whether you are new to studies and writings related to the expansion of conscious awareness or you have tenure as a therapist or arts practitioner, the information and applications shared selflessly in this immersion are truly priceless.
The combination of gentle, humor-based guidance, sound therapy and refined ritual enriched methods shared in each group open the majority of attendees into completely new, fresh mindsets, reframing the way one thinks and responds to daily challenges and physical discomfort.
