Sacred Knowledge and Psychedelic Knowledge - It's all the same

You know the story of the boiling frog. It's usually used as a metaphor for social/political oppression, or some other situation that slowly becomes unbearable over time. We always like to thing of the boiler as some faceless force or inhuman system. We don't usually think about how we boil our own frog. It's a hard pill to swallow, seeing how we're often the architect of our own suffering. Especially when it comes to our own integration, or lack of it.

We all have a comfortable temperature for our lives. We all have a quality of life that makes sense for us. Funny thing is, is that on occasion our lives might get a little 'too good' and we might even subtly sabotage ourselves. After an experience, we often find ourselves inspired to improve our lives. We go to yoga, meditation, ritual. And sure enough, it works. Our quality of life slowly starts to improve. Our mind starts to clear, we feel more connected, more creative. We begin to believe we can be the person we always hoped we could be.

But then, for some reason... we stop. Life gets in the way, or stuff comes up we'd rather ignore, or whatever. But we stop.

And then, slowly, almost imperceptibly, our quality of life starts to degrade again.

And before we know it, things are a mess again. We're disconnected, confused; we're all over the place. We ask ourselves, "What happened?"

We happened. We boiled our own frog, slowly, slowly.

So I don't know who needs to hear this, but this is your sign to get back to your practice. To take care of your frog.

Inquiry is a practice that goes beyond mere discussions of microdosing protocols, or educational sessions on molecules and dosages. Move beyond just lecturing your clients. Move beyond reactionary advice-giving; embrace the true art of coaching.

It’s time to recognize that your true value as a coach comes from your ability to be deeply present for your , to take your seat as a compassionate companion on the path in the truest way possible.

Offerings

Winter Coaching Training

In January, our six-month Coaching Training begins.

This intensive program covers everything you need to know to skillfully guide a client from preparation through integration. We work with mindfulness, somatics, and deep inquiry to help clients prepare for psychedelic experiences by understanding their intentions, working with the habitual patterns that keep them stuck, and lovingly confronting their shadow parts. You'll learn how to support integration, helping clients make meaning from their intense experiences and bring what they learn into daily life.

We cover client intake, scope of practice, ceremony, ethical space holding, and varieties of spiritual support. Alongside the coaching work, we cover building a practice, developing your offers, and having responsible conversations with potential clients.

Students learn active listening, the art of powerful questions, and practices for grounding, support and emotional regualtion. You'll feel confident in your ability to make good, ethical choices in your sessions and develop a way of working that creates lasting change and is truly integrative.

There is a free info session about the training on Thursday, October 21st at 3pm Eastern. Register Here:

~ The Golden Road - Mentorship, Peer Support, Supervision, and Skill Building for Serious Psychonauts and Healing Professionals

The Golden Road has evolved into a wonderful group of practitioners.

We meet every Thursday at noon eastern.

There is also a large archive (over 200 hours) of psychedelic education and past talks.

The wonderful people who show up share not only their journeys, but the journeys of those they steward. It's become a place of learning, support, accountability, and peer review. Folks are learning some things from me, but they are also learning from each other. We all face unique challenges as we work in this space, and it's great to have a place where we can bring them for non-judgmental feedback and reflection. You're invited. Click here to join​

Golden Road is a group of coaches and guides that are growing their practices and coming together in the spirit of personal and professional peer support. You also get some teaching and Q&A with yours truly. The main group meeting is Thursdays at noon Eastern. Here's the link to that.​
