Picking a Psychedelic Facilitator
Our blog post explores the transformative potential of psychedelic healing, likened to ten years of therapy in ten hours, as experienced at our Colorado psilocybin and ayahuasca retreats. It delves into the essential role of the facilitator in this journey, detailing key qualities such as knowledge, empathy, patience, good listening skills, and respect for confidentiality. The post further underscores the attributes of exceptional facilitators who embody the principles they preach, honor the Inner Healing Intelligence, serve with reverence and purity, and effectively guide participants through their unique experiences towards profound growth and self-discovery.
What It Means to Feel
When we talk about spiritual growth and discovering our true potential, understanding how to make peace with the whole of life is crucial. Too often we think that authentic happiness comes from gaining something new or achieving a certain result, but real joy lies in appreciating what we have right here in this moment—or allowing ourselves to feel whatever arises within us. This post will explore the power of “feeling into” life: concentrating on our emotions and sensations instead of striving for an end goal, so that we can experience more profound levels of peace, love, and purposeful action.
Loving All Our Parts
Life seeks to create life. Our lives are aimed at finding or creating safety from the moment we are born. The mechanisms by which we seek safety are developed at an early age. In Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dr. Richard Schwartz espoused that we are made up of “parts” that are sub-personalities designed to keep us safe. It is a profound shift to realize that the burdens and limiting beliefs we carry were ultimately formed to keep us safe. When our protective parts relax, when we can be our Self in its highest, we feel great peace and Oneness with the Self of others. Thus, the journey of consciousness is to love all of our parts because they are all part of who we are.
