Hello 2022! Water Tiger New Year and Imbolc!

Look UP. It’s a New Year. 2022 offers wonder, expanded light, and a fresh authentic voice. Consider going outside the box of your mental limitations. Go out on a limb and discover a grove to greet you.

I gotta say it took awhile to find a glimmer of hope when we began the new year with a new covid variant. At first I was angry. I didn’t want to enforce stronger boundaries, masks, distance, and more isolation. Seeing people in person nourishes me. It took pouting, throwing temper tantrums and eventually facing the cold outside to find a glimmer of acceptance. Sure, microdosing softens my edges and helps me rub off old patterns of thinking.

And then when I do face, engage and participate more in my life, I see that the Global Psychedelic Renaissance continues to Melt Fear and Resistance for Human Evolution.

Here’s a SPECIAL TREAT! Celebrating the work of Stan Grof, Transpersonal Psychology.. Six hours of conversation with Stan Grof, Joan Halifax, Michael Mithoefer and other pioneers of Psychedelic Research.

Stan Grof

Stanislav Grof, M.D., is a psychiatrist with over sixty years of experience in research of non-ordinary states of consciousness and one of the founders and chief theoreticians of transpersonal psychology. I studied Stan’s work and Holotropic Breathwork while receiving my Masters’ degree in Transpersonal Psychology in the 90’s. His breathwork activates extraordinary states of consciousness similar to LSD and Psilocybin. My internship in Psychodrama solidified my journey of embodied integration.

“On Saturday January 22, 2022 we had an amazing symposium with many wonderful friends celebrating the Festschrift Psyche Unbound in honor of my 90th birthday. We are very grateful to Synergetic Press, City Lights Bookstore , MAPS and everyone contributing to this successful event. You can watch the symposium on Youtube now, here are the links.” – Stan

Right now is an exciting time to be alive. We live in a state of paradox. We have an abundance of technology at our fingertips. Despite our ability to connect to a world of people, places and information, humanity is plagued with depression, PTSD, and addiction. As western medicine fails to restore human resilience and wholeness, psychedelic medicine has proven to be extremely effective in treating human suffering. We are in a time of global upheaval and face challenges that range from climate change to political anarchy. Integration is how we find our center in the midst of chaos. As adults we know change is our only constant. Integration therapy is the process of honoring our innocence, standing in our integrity, discovering choices, and knowing that simply being present is our greatest gift to humanity. We become stronger from conflict when we face our fears, wrestle our monsters, and accept our humanness. “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” It’s possible that fragmenting ourselves by race, socioeconomic group, religious identity, and sexual orientation causes distress. Unifying our mind, body, and spark of life brings us grace and ease. Many people think of psychedelics as relics from the hippie generation or something taken by ravers and music festival-goers, but they may one day be used to treat disorders ranging from social anxiety to depression, according to research presented at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association. “Combined with psychotherapy, some psychedelic drugs like MDMA, psilocybin and ayahuasca may improve symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder,” said Cristina L. Magalhaes, PhD, of Alliant International University Los Angeles, and co-chair of a symposium on psychedelics and psychotherapy. “More research and discussion are needed to understand the possible benefits of these drugs, and psychologists can help navigate the clinical, ethical and cultural issues related to their use.” Transpersonal Psychology bridges the gap between science and spirituality, and honors that we are spirits seeking our unique human experience. I help you melt fear and resistance for rapid evolution. Living inside a chaotic childhood I was blessed to encounter psychedelics in my early teens. The psychedelic experiences were in the context of self discovery. In the absence of belonging to family, home and consistency, I found an abundance of Synchronicity and Spirituality with the assistance of psychedelics.
