Psycon Psychedelic Convention
Denver Convention Center

Presentation Abstract:
We will discuss creating an environment that moves beyond judgment, expectations, conclusions and allows for the space of ease and awareness within psychedelic medicine and facilitation. If psychedelics were not an answer for a problem to be solved and are tools for awakening our inner awareness, how can we use this to tap into our knowing, perceiving and receiving? With psychedelic therapies there is great emphasis on integration, would you be willing to move out of the limitations of what that looks like and find what works for you?
