What we’re about
Open to joy, fulfillment, self compassion, and unconditional love.
We will be exploring how meditation, self-inquiry, spiritually based psychotherapy, and psychedelics*, enable us to awaken to the inner healing intelligence and to non-dual awareness. We'll also explore 7 modes of consciousness as revealed through understanding the chakras.
This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn from elder Allan Ajaya PhD as he shares the wisdom, experience and knowledge he's gleaned in over 50 years of work (personally and professionally), in the space of consciousness exploration through the lens of psychedelics, psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation.
