What we’re about
Are you working with psychedelics for healing, creativity, and/or spiritual progress?
Learn yogic methods to support these goals!
The time-honored techniques of yoga -- for building and balancing energy, for uniting the breath and mind, for transforming difficult experiences -- are ideal for psychedelic work. We have been developing and refining these methods for specific psychedelic states, and we want to share our insights and discoveries!
There will be live gatherings in the NYC area and online events. Everyone is invited to contribute their knowledge and experiences, to help grow psychedelic yoga into a practice that benefits as many folks as possible and the community.
No experience with yoga is necessary, just curiosity and an open mind! No experience with psychedelics is necessary, as these methods are beneficial without substances!

A deeper journey into the mystery of awareness
In this inaugural Advanced Practice Circle session, we'll explore consciousness through multiple perspectives and practices. This intimate two-hour gathering offers a more personal and in-depth experience than our regular workshops.
What we'll explore:
- The Quantum Teleporter Experiment: A thought experiment that clarifies our beliefs about the nature of consciousness and what we truly value in our experience
- Embodied Awareness Practice: An extended chakra scan connecting consciousness to the body, incorporating "aspects" such as stillness and silence to deepen the experience
- Open-Awareness Meditation: Moving beyond focused attention to spacious awareness that reveals the witness quality of consciousness
We'll begin with foundational practices from our regular consciousness workshops, then extend into these more advanced techniques with ample time for personal guidance and group discussion.
This session is ideal for those who want to deepen their understanding of consciousness beyond concepts and into direct experience. All levels welcome - the practices are accessible with proper guidance while offering depth for experienced practitioners.
Limited to 15 participants | $10 | Thursday, July 10th, 8:00-10:00pm ET
