Creating Safety and Harm Reduction in Plant Medicine Circles with Kat Courtney

 

2 Hour Masterclass
August 23rd • 4:30pm PT • 7:30pm ET

Safety is an essential element of any Plant Medicine experience, but what does this mean in the context of working with medicines that often inherently feel unsafe?  What does harm reduction look like, and why is it so critical for the entire medicine movement?

  • This 2 hour class will discuss the complexities of working with Plant Medicines like Ayahuasca that are innately unpredictable and intense, and the essential elements that the guides and guardians of these experiences must embody in order to keep participants safe. We will talk about the core questions everyone should ask their ceremony facilitators. Additionally, we will discuss the definition of harm reduction, why this is so critical for the entire movement, and how each of us as participants and co-creators can work together to minimize painful and challenging aftermaths.

Ticket Price: $89

Total Shift of Perspective: Using Embodied Imagination® to Leave the Confines of Habitual Consciousness and Enter Fresh Realities with Robert Bosnak

 

2 Hour Masterclass
November 8th • 4:30pm PT • 7:30pm ET

Embodied Imagination® (EI) explores the single identity of body and imagination, focusing on the involuntary imagination as presented in dreaming and psychedelic experiences. In this interactive class, we will study dual consciousness, holding two streams of consciousness simultaneously, like going deeply into a psychedelic experience while knowing that one is in a psychedelic experience.

  • We are boxed in by our rote perspectives, and psychedelics can help burst us out of this “jail," as it was called by some in the visionary tradition. Jailbreak can also be done with non-psychedelic techniques, such as Embodied Imagination®. Embodied Imagination® (EI) explores the single identity of body and imagination. It focuses on the involuntary imagination as presented in dreaming and psychedelic experiences. EI is particularly well suited to integrate psychedelic experiences into daily life, as it grew from encounters with psychedelic experience but then continued with the study of dreaming as non-habitual embodied states of consciousness.

    By using our whole body in mimicking non-self presences, such as other characters in dreams and visions, we learn to get into unexplored fresh perspectives that make us see the world anew. We learn to hold various perspectives simultaneously which creates a network of embodied states that begin to self-organize into a completely new world view. This work can be done with dreams, memories and the memories of psychedelic experiences.

    We will study dual consciousness, holding two streams of consciousness simultaneously, like going deeply into a psychedelic experience while knowing that one is in a psychedelic experience. We can learn this dual consciousness through working with dreams. The course will be completely interactive. It will start with a basic theory of embodied imagination, then Q&A, followed by a demonstration and Q&A.
