Five Methods for Integrating Altered States of Consciousness

April 14- May 19

Online seminar

A 6-Session Online Training + Private Integration Session

Practical tools to transform psychedelic journeys, ceremonies, and mystical experiences into real-life change.

Altered states — psychedelic journeys, shamanic ceremonies, deep meditations, spontaneous mystical experiences — can open doors to powerful energy, insight, and transformation.

But without integration, these experiences often remain fragmented, overwhelming, or slowly fade away.

This training gives you five clear, practical methods for integrating altered states — tools you can use for yourself, in integration circles, or in client work.

This seminar is designed for you if:

• You have experienced psychedelic journeys, ceremonies, or deep meditative states and want to integrate them more deeply into your life.

• You facilitate or plan to facilitate integration circles, retreats, or therapeutic sessions and need concrete tools.

• You work with clients who go through altered states, emotional crises, or spiritual openings, and you want structured methods to support them.

• You are drawn to Process Work, Constellation thinking, and Earth-based psychology and want to bring these approaches into integration.

You don’t have to be a therapist to participate — but you do need genuine interest in inner work and respect for altered states.

By the end of the training you will:

• Learn 5 practical, repeatable methods for integrating altered states of consciousness.

• Understand how to work with body sensations, images, movement, voice, and meaning in a structured way.

• Be able to analyze and support complex experiences: trips, ceremonies, dreams, and spontaneous awakenings.

• Gain tools to work with fields of experience that include depression, anger, anxiety, stuckness, and overwhelm.

• Receive a personalized integration plan in a 1:1 session focused on your own experience.

  
  

You will walk away with a toolbox, not just inspiration.

Format:

• 6 live sessions (online) + 1 private session

• Each class includes: short theory, demonstration, and practice in pairs or small groups.

Class 1. Three Levels of Awareness

Method 1: Shapeshifting

We explore three levels of perception:

Consensus Reality — Dreaming — Essence, and how they show up in altered states.

You will learn Shapeshifting — a simple but powerful way to include all channels of perception (body, movement, sound, image, meaning) in the integration process.

This method helps to:

• transform difficult experiences into stable strengths and qualities,

• complete unfinished processes,

• stabilize intense states.

You receive a clear structure and step-by-step algorithm that can be applied to any experience.

Class 2. Dreamwork

Method 2: Working With Dreamlike Structures

We explore similarities and differences between altered states and dreams.

We look at different types of dreamlike and psychedelic imagery:

• frightening and disturbing

• repetitive

• initiatory experiences

• ancestral themes

• sexual imagery

• fairy-tale and transpersonal motifs

You will learn questions and techniques for working with dreamlike images:

• how to recognize the structure of an experience,

• how to ask the right questions,

• how to guide a safe and deep integration conversation.

  
  

Master class + practice.

Class 3. High & Low Dreams

Method 3: Working With Large Fields of Experience

When there are many different impressions pulling in different directions, it is easy to get lost.

You will learn the High & Low Dreams method — a very convenient framework for:

• seeing the structure of a large experiential field,

• understanding where the process is moving,

• working with multiple experiences at once.

This method is useful for:

• integrating psychedelic journeys,

• working with relationships,

• career decisions and life direction.

You receive a repeatable algorithm you can use for yourself and with clients.

Master class + paired practice.

Class 4. Polarity Dance

Method 4: Power Dance

Altered states often activate opposite forces:

light ↔ shadow

fear ↔ strength

chaos ↔ clarity

You will learn Power Dance — the Polarity Dance method:

• working with polarities through rhythm, movement, and sound,

• creating a Dance of Power that brings inner conflict into a coherent, embodied form,

• discovering the resource hidden inside tension.

Special focus: conscious transitions between polarities.

Transitioning between states is a distinct skill that allows you to move flexibly between different roles and energies instead of getting stuck in one.

Examples + practice.

Class 5. Geopsychology

Method 5: Nature Elements & Landscape Imagery (Earth-Based Therapy)

Working with images of nature and landscapes helps to understand and regulate complex internal processes such as depression, anger, anxiety, stuckness, and a sense of no way out.

You will learn how to use:

• elements of nature,

• landscapes,

• “external” images

• to integrate large energetic states and find direction when there seems to be none.

This method is especially useful if you:

• work with intense experiences,

• support others in integration,

• or feel a natural connection to Earth-based and nature-centered approaches.

Master class + practice.

Class 6. Essence Level — Final Integration

In the final class we work with the deepest layer of experience — Essence:

• stillness

• direction

• meaning

• connectedness

You will explore:

• how to become the director of your inner experiences rather than being swept away by them,

• how to complete a process,

• how to translate it into everyday life and action.

This class weaves together all five methods into a coherent integration map.

Along with the group training, you receive one private integration session.

You can bring:

• a psychedelic journey,

• a ceremony,

• a deep meditation,

• a spontaneous altered state,

• or a recurring dreamlike pattern.

In this session we will:

• unpack symbols and images,

• track body processes,

• work with traumatic knots and blocks,

• identify hidden gifts and emerging abilities,

• create a personalized integration plan.
