About Beyond Experience

Find out all the details about the course:

Beyond Experience is a 5-day psychedelic integration intensive, facilitated as an experiential training and in-depth group process.
The course provides a comprehensive skill set for working with the whole spectrum of psychedelic experiences, both personally and when supporting others.
The course’s main goal is to engage in a deep integration process and help you remember, express, and consciously connect with your psychedelic experiences to create meaningful change.
Theory meets practice: We thoughtfully developed the sequence of techniques to support you as a whole person. The program is based on scientific research and relevant concepts for psychedelic integration, which are also taught in the course.
Beyond Experience is an essential part of the curriculum of our 2-year program in Augmented Psychotherapy (APT).

Testimonials

“For me, the workshop was an intense, valuable and fun experience. These 5 days felt like therapy and a psychedelic trip at the same time. Regina and David have a natural talent for holding space, so the group was open to sharing their most profound experiences and life situations. Be prepared to open up, face your shadows and integrate your experiences into your life.”

Hein

“The Beyond Experience course was a great opportunity to dive deep into my own psyche in a safe environment with professional support. It’s a unique blend between theoretical content and physical and creative exercises. It allowed me not only to gain more insights into my psychedelic experience and altered states, but also to become more conscious about my life in general.”

“Even though I have participated in many workshops before, I was positively surprised that this workshop was so different. What stood out the most was the inspiring group dynamics and the trusting atmosphere that enabled growth and self-reflection by participating and listening to others.”

Shamsey

“The facilitators seamlessly interwove theory and application. I loved the co-creative and involving approach. It offered a bouquet of practices and insights and made me feel empowered.”

Marvin

“A group of random people come together and create this, dare I say – sacred – circle. Bring an intention and you’ll take at least one treasure home.”

Why integration?

Psychedelic experiences encompass a fascinatingly wide range of human experiencing. They can have aesthetic qualities, magnify the perception of personal conflicts, point towards unforeseen possibilities, bring back childhood memories, let trauma resurface, or reveal spiritual dimensions. Such experiences can have a positive, easy to accept character (e.g., the experience of being connected to the surrounding nature) or represent a challenge through their strangeness and emotional intensity. But why do we search for experiences like that in the first place?

If we want to utilize these experiences for personal and societal development, psychedelic integration is a crucial part of the process. It is about being able to deal with changing states of consciousness and letting them influence our lives beneficially. More than merely “psychedelic aftercare,” we view integration as a value-based attitude, in which we engage with psychedelic experiences to create meaningful change.

What awaits you?

In Beyond Experience, you will participate in a guided group process, aiming to facilitate personal explorations through a diverse set of methods, knowledge transfer, and an opportunity to connect with like-minded people. You will be instructed to work on your own values and understand biographical patterns, which will support you in improving your individual handling of psychedelic experiences.

The practical techniques used in this course range from variations of automatic writing, intensive music trances, working with self-aspects, hypnotherapeutic trance journeys to mindfulness meditation practices, creative expression and bodywork. You will also participate in theoretical sessions on substance-related topics, set and setting, trip-sitting & drug emergencies, and basic concepts for understanding psychedelic integration. This theoretico-practical approach leads to a stable and beneficial self-awareness process and does equip you with a rich toolbox for working with psychedelic experiences.
