1pm-6pm
Jamaica Plain, MA
Extraordinary experiences—including psychedelic journeys, vivid dreams, mystical experiences, shamanic journeys, and encounters with spirits, guides, teachers, or other autonomous figures—can profoundly transform our lives.
Yet therapists, facilitators, coaches, and psychedelic integration practitioners often face an important question:
How can we work with these experiences without reducing them to pathology, fantasy, or literal belief?
Process Work (Process-Oriented Psychology), developed by Arnold Mindell, offers a unique framework for understanding and integrating extraordinary experiences while honoring both their psychological and spiritual dimensions.
In this experiential workshop, participants will learn practical methods for integrating extraordinary states of consciousness into psychotherapy, psychedelic integration, coaching, facilitation, and everyday life.
