Are your clients asking you about expanded states of consciousness? Are you interested into where this field is headed?
Approaches involving expanded states of consciousness is generating significant clinical interest. Nearly 150 clinical trials, spanning more than 50 potential indications, are currently underway worldwide for one form of plant medicine, and your clients may be exploring options independently.
This webinar provides the context you need - grounded in neuroscience and clinical evidence - to support informed conversations. We'll also have an open Q&A afterwards for you to ask any questions you may have on expanded states, plant medicine, and our approach.
What You'll Learn:
- The neuroscience of expanded states of consciousness. What happens in the brain during the experience, from the quieting of the default mode network to the window of heightened neuroplasticity that follows, grounded in published research.
- How the experience works alongside talk therapy. Why clients often return with new emotional and somatic material, and how you can support them through preparation and an integration process that unfolds over months, not sessions.
- The legal landscape. Where legal retreats operate today, how above-ground programs differ from the underground options clients may come across, and what may be on the horizon.
- Our program, and why set and setting matter. How preparation, the on-site retreat and integration fit together over about 11 weeks, and how a guided retreat setting with music, nature and one facilitator for every three guests differs from a clinical one.
- Who our retreats are, and aren’t, right for. How our suitability screening works, and why not every applicant is approved.
- Live Q&A with Beckley Retreats. Bring your clients’ questions, and your own.
