    Journey with us through the realms of self care, preparation and integration as we explore cognitive, relational, embodied and visionary wisdom. Informed by multiplicity, attachment theories, science and the scared; this programs provides one with a road map to navigate psychedelic landscapes- shifting altered states, into altered traits and embodied wisdom. 

    This workshop provides a comprehensive skillset to better support a spectrum of psychedelic experiences. We will explore options for preperation, considerations for the journey and pathways for integrating psychedelic states. Psychedelics with supportive set, setting and skills can facilitate transformative experiences, yet not every journey is transformative and unique challenges can arise. While we can’t ever predict the outcome, throughout the day will explore appropriate tools, skills and strategies for harm reduction and benefit maximisation.   We will unpack knowledge and frameworks supported by practical examples and guided reflections. This will incorporate elements from wisdom practices, neuroscience, modern therapeutic modalities as well as nature based perspectives.


    The course will cover the following topics:

    Cognitive:

    • Introduction to psychedelics perspectives 
    • Introduction to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy
    • Psychedelic pharmacology
    • The science as we know it; statistics and data
    • Harm minimisation and risk mitigation
    • Psychological support - establishing a psychedelic safe ecosystem


    Relational:

    • Expectations vs intentions 
    • Multiplicity and attachment informed psychedelic reparenting 
    • Nature based therapies, alters and weaving IFS with the symbolic realm 
    • Creation of rituals

    Embodied:

      SOL Harm Reduction Stance
      • SOL acknowledges that psychedelics are currently illegal in Australia. SOL advocates for decriminalisation and provides nuanced harm reduction services. SOL does not endorse or encourage illegal use of psychedelics.
      • SOL acknowledges freedom of consciousness and the many ways people may choose to take psychedelics (clinical, ceremonial, solo and guided processes).
        Please be aware of the legal context that impacts your personal situation and the potential benefits and risks to self and others.
      • SOL acknowledges that many of these medicines have been woven into indigenous communities for thousands of years.
      • SOL has so much to learn about ayni/reciprocity, sustainability and shamanistic models of health care. Due to the psychedelic renaissance we are seeing both a rapid growth of scientific trials and changes in policies and laws around the world.
      • SOL consults across this global community and information provided in SOL programs does need to be considered alongside your current legal context.
