There's something magical that happens when we allow ourselves to step beyond the familiar boundaries of our consciousness. That first moment when the veil lifts and you realise the world is vaster, more connected, and more extraordinary than you'd ever imagined.
Today, we're sharing all our upcoming events in our Adventures in Awareness category – cohosted by our sibling organisation of meditators, mystics, scientists and philosophers who are dedicated to exploring the depths of perception, consciousness, and the very nature of reality.
They beautifully bridge cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom traditions by bringing in the best thinkers of the field. We're especially excited for:
A conversation with Matthew Immergut, co-author of the ‘The Mind Illuminated’ - one of the most detailed and practical meditation manuals of the modern era. He'll be sharing everything he's learnt since the book's launch, about meditation, awakening, gurus and navigating the path in the modern world…
A retreat with Richard Lang, the leading proponent of the transformative "Headless Way" approach that reveals our true nature beyond conceptual thinking - experiences that often mirror insights from psychedelic journeys
A fascinating discussion with Ruben Laukkonen on ‘cessation' or the phenomena of consciousness shutting down completely during deep meditation. Some consider this a vital experience towards awakening, others believe it has profound implications about whether consciousness is fundamental or not. Ruben did his PhD on the subject and is currently leading Australia's largest psychedelic research trial and his work is featured in The New York Times, TIME, and Nature.
These practices have been portals of insight for thousands of years, and now modern science is validating what traditional wisdom has long understood: these experiences can fundamentally reshape our understanding of mind and existence. Are you ready to peer behind the veil..?

An invitation to join the final Synthesis Institute for free conversation sessions with leading psychedelic practitioners and thinkers
Jade Shaw, who teaches our Masterclass on Astral Projection is offering the community 50% off ELEVATE - her new 12-week virtual programme that teaches Astral Projection for well-being and self-growth through the lens of 6 ancient cultures. It's designed for students who have some experience with altered states of awareness—be it meditation, breathwork, dreamwork, plant medicine, or other expansive practices. This programme brings together renowned indigenous Masters from six traditional lineages to guide participants on a journey of personal growth.
Why we're excited…
Rare Opportunity: Access to astral projection techniques within each of these cultures is usually rare (or taught in secret) unless you are part of a traditional lineage, this is the first time several teachers have come together to give instruction from six lineages.
Led by renowned Wisdom-Keepers: Participants will be led by masters and lineage holders from traditions in Taoism, Ancient Greece, Ecuadorian Shamanism, Mexican Toltec traditions, Indian Yoga, and South African Shamanism.
Immersive Classes: Practical, transformational sessions using ceremony and ritual designed to help students integrate tools into their modern lives.
A Supportive Tribe: Fostering connection through group circles, peer discussions, and guided reflections for kinship and safe practise.
The course begins on 2 March. All classes are recorded and shared after the live session.
