Presentation Abstract:
In this seminar, we will explore the idea of calm self-confrontation. The aim is not to create doubt, but rather to pursue insight and change while minimizing risk of loss and regret. In my 27 years of experience with LSD and Psilocybin, I have met many who wish to have taken a better planned approach to carrying out their decisive action after a journey. I am ready to share those stories and get us thinking about lessons that need to be learned so psychedelic journeys can have better outcomes.

Presentation Abstract:
Looking for higher states of consciousness is a lifelong process with many roads. Many seekers turn to yoga and meditation to reach higher planes of awareness and self-mastery. Yoga and psychedelics are both mind-expanding, sharing a purpose to connect the mind, body, and soul. While Yoga and psychedelics can be used together or alone, in this workshop, we will explore ways to use yoga and meditation to prepare for any type of psychedelic journey work and to keep the expansion going.
Preparation – We will learn yoga postures and sequences to prepare the body for plant medicine journeys, ketamine treatments, psilocybin, and LSD trips. Many clients have anxiety around their upcoming experiences – journey work, ketamine, and other modalities. Beth believes that yoga will relax the body, open the energy centers, and, combined with deep breathing and meditation, will ready both the body and the mind for expansion.
