Hi there,

Mystical experiences are a hallmark of psychedelic work, and a key to their transformative power. In psilocybin-assisted therapy studies, patients' rates of decreased anxiety and depression and increased quality of life, sense of meaning, optimism, and spiritual well-being were significantly correlated to the strength of their mystical experience on the trip (as measured by the very cool Mystical Experience Scale).

To do justice to this infinitely mysterious area we created Adventures in Awareness - a sibling organisation dedicated specifically to exploring the mystical experience and topics like non-duality, expanded consciousness, and the art of understanding and integrating these new perspectives on reality.

If I've lost you at 'non-duality', check out some of the free content on our Youtube channel to get a taste. I especially recommend this guided meditation from the amazing Rupert Spira, a special guest in one of our upcoming courses, With Reality in Mind.

Or check out the array of events below designed to explore reality, your mind, and the puzzling possibility that they're one and the same...

I am still struggling to find the words to describe the intense healing, love, and support I felt prior to and during the retreat. How often do wishes not only come true, but exceed all imaginable expectations? I came alone, and returned with a family, an open heart, and a newfound understanding of the meaning of love. (Nomi, 22-25 July retreat)

Life changing. I now feel an inner calm that I've never experienced before. It feels solid. Earthy. Connected. Self-love is within me for the first time. I can't put into words what this means to me. Just writing this, I'm erupting in love again. I'm vibrating. I'm walking differently. I'm approaching life with a different lens; one that focuses on the light. I came into the retreat with high expectations and extremely high hopes, to the point where I wasn't sure it was possible they could be met - oh how wrong I was. I was given everything I was seeking and so much more. (Tom, 22-25 July retreat)

Psychedelics in the UK - you can make a difference

One in every £10 spent by the NHS is for mental health treatments. With psychedelics proving promising for treating so many of these persistent conditions - from PTSD to addiction to depression to eating disorders, we can't afford to waste time blocking scientific research with outdated drug laws.

If you're a UK resident, we strongly urge you to sign this critical petition to reschedule psilocybin (the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms) in the UK 🍄

'Rescheduling' means reclassifying psilocybin from a Schedule 1 drug (deemed to have no therapeutic value) to Schedule 2 (could be legally prescribed) making further scientific research and trials significantly easier and more affordable.
