6-Module Book Training

This module defines trauma and complex PTSD, discussing their root causes while encouraging participants to view trauma from an external perspective. Key topics include well-being and mental health, transpersonal theory, and the three pathways to healing: psychedelic medicine, dreams, and rituals. Participants will learn the importance of connecting with a community, using meditation for healing, increasing awareness of suffering, and exploring spiritual emergence.

This module serves as a guidebook for psychedelic journeys, covering the origins and essence of psychedelic medicine as an inner rite of passage. It addresses themes beyond the ego, the discovery of one’s inner world, pre-journey counseling, and preparation for psychedelic experiences. Participants will explore techniques for grounding and centering during the journey, meeting different aspects of themselves, accessing their inner healing intelligence, integrating shadow parts, using somatic techniques, and crafting poetry as a form of initiation. Additionally, this module discusses establishing boundaries for touch, creating a sacred space, employing mindfulness for healing, selecting music, assessing mindset, and developing mind maps and personal integration rituals.

This module dives deeper into the phenomenology of psychedelic experiences, exploring how psychoactive medicine can act as a catalyst for openness and transformation. Participants will reflect on the value of sacred witnesses and therapeutic support, rebirthing metaphors in consciousness, and the inward journey of meeting wisdom figures. They will also learn to write their own origin stories and integrate non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Focusing on dream revelations, this module teaches participants how to keep a dream journal, understand various types of dreams, and meditate to invite dreams. It provides a four-step approach to dream work, including insights from Paul Stamets’s experiences with dreams and mushrooms.

This module addresses existential distress and the concept of the cosmic game. It explores topics in metaphysical investigation, including knowledge of the sacred, the relationship between psychedelics and religious experiences, ancestral connections, and the naming of ultimate reality. Participants will learn about pure consciousness events and insights that extend beyond rational thought.

The final module emphasizes the relationship with self and community while exploring rituals for recovery, healing, and transformation. It discusses potential future uses of psychedelic medicine, especially for individuals with OCD, those seeking end-of-life ease, and relationship counseling. Topics will also include the global community, environmental concerns, worship services, and the future of humanity in relation to psychedelics.
