Questions
Do I need to have experience with mindfulness or psychedelics to gain any kind of benefit from this course?
No prior experience with mindfulness, meditation or psychedelics is needed to gain benefits from this course. It is actually very valuable to complete the course before you have had any encounter with psychedelics. During the program you will learn how to get the best out of any future psychedelic experience.
I already have a personal mindfulness or meditation practice and/or experience with psychedelics. Will this course still be of any use for me?
Yes, in the program we provide a comprehensive understanding on how to generate deep healing and personal transformation. You will most definitely acquire new insights and tools to help you on your journey. We learn as a community and every participant will build on their own practices, insights and experiences. Each lecture also covers advanced topics in-depth. Exercises are practiced in group setting, yet executed individually. You will thus get the maximum benefit of the course even if other participants are less experienced than you.
