BEYOND EXPERIENCE 4-DAY-INTENSIVE: THE MIND INTEGRATION PROGRAM | PORTUGAL NOVEMBER 2022 (IN ENGLISH)

Come and join us for a unique 4-day psychedelic integration journey!

What is BEYOND EXPERIENCE?

Beyond Experience is a carefully crafted 4-day intensive workshop on psychedelic integration. In this course, you will learn a comprehensive set of methods that help to engage with changing states of consciousness. Psychedelic 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 (e.g. in trauma). Psychedelic integration is a process of learning from extraordinary experiences and embodying the insights in everyday life.  However, we also understand integration as a value-based attitude with which we approach these experiences – be they spontaneous, triggered by psychedelic substances, or non-pharmacological methods such as breathwork.
BEYOND EXPERIENCE offers an intense group process, in which you will learn how to integrate your own psychedelic experiences as well as supporting others in doing so. Read more here.

What awaits you?

In BEYOND EXPERIENCE you will explore different aspects of yourself, learning a variety of methods to deeper integrate the lessons and challenges of your psychedelic experiences. Clarifying your own values and building an attitude of integration are two important factors that can positively change your engagement with psychedelic experiences. Integration is striving for “wholeness”, i.e. bringing different parts of the self into a well-functioning relationship with each other.

BEYOND EXPERIENCE is based on the theories and methods of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This serves as a scientifically founded frame of reference in dealing with psychedelic experiences.The methods in the course range from variations of creative expression, automatic writing, body work,  working with self-aspects and biography, hypnotherapeutic trances, and music journeys to mindfulness meditation practices.
