The last spots are available for our partner Kiyumi's Psychedelics and Compassionate Inquiry Program in collaboration with renowned physician and author, Dr Gabor Maté.
Featuring live integration classes with Dr Gabor Maté and a six-day psilocybin-assisted retreat in the Netherlands, the Psychedelics & Compassionate Inquiry 2023 Program is six-month educational and experiential program that combines contemplative and embodiment practices, both online and in-person begining 20 March.
The goal of this unique experience is to unveil the core stories people tell themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories and the hold those stories have on them ... that's what Compassionate Inquiry is.~ Dr Gabor Maté
Kiyumi, one of our two official retreat partners, have just released more 2023 dates for their 6-day Integrative Psilocybin Retreats in the Netherlands:
* Apr 03 - Apr 08
* Sep 19 - Sep 24
* Oct 14 - Oct 19
* Nov 16 - Nov 21

Psychedelic practitioner training
We're delighted to be supporting our partners at Psychedelic's Today to promote their unique Vital training program for the second year.
VITAL was especially designed to support medical professionals, psychotherapists, coaches, nurses, and complementary health practitioners who are called to incorporate psychedelics safely and ethically into their existing practice.
This is a fantastic holistic, immersive 12-month certificate program focused on psychedelic therapy and integration for professionals.
The course begins on April 17. You can learn more and submit your application here.

New blog: MDMA as therapy
'I've been trained in over a dozen therapeutic modalities, but nothing can come close to the results I've received when working with MDMA.'
Jonathan Robinson is a California-based psychotherapist and New York Times best-selling author. He has reached over 250 million people around the world with his practical methods, and his work has been translated into 47 languages.
In this piece for the Psychedelic Society blog, he reflects on his path as a psychotherapist and the power of MDMA in helping couples and individuals heal.
Jonathan is leading the upcoming facilitator training on Healing with MDMA starting April 4th. You can also attend a free live Q&A with Jonathan about his work.
New podcast: Spiritual awakening
Adventures in Awareness, our sister organisation dedicated to exploring the mysteries of consciousness, has just released a new conversation with Jessica Corneille, the host and facilitator of our highly popular monthly Spiritual Awakening Sharing Circles.
Following her own sudden non-dual experience one morning in February 2016, Jessica Corneille decided to change the course of her life by quitting her career and instead focus on raising awareness around spiritual awakening, enlightenment, and non-dual experiences within mainstream psychology. She graduated with Distinction from a Masters Degree in Psychology from the University of Greenwich, where she focused her studies on the psychology of exceptional human experiences (transpersonal, anomalistic and parapsychology). She is now a fully-qualified research psychologist specialising predominantly in spiritual awakenings of a spontaneous nature, as well as other non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Tune in here to this fascinating conversation.
New research study opportunity
Our friends at Wilfrid Laurier University invite participants to complete "The Love Project" research study, which involves a 30-minute survey to explore people's opinions and experience about a profound personal experience of love with psychedelics, as well as thoughts on the role of love in healing in professional care more broadly.
Inclusion criteria are: having had a profound experience of love under the effects of a psychedelic, fluency in English, and being 21 years of age or older. Their goal is to support a scientific understanding of love with the hope that participation in this study can also serve as a contemplative opportunity.
For more information and to participate, visit here.
