Decoding Your Psychedelic Journey: Story Frameworks for Transformation

Timeless storytelling structures, like the Hero's Journey, have echoed through human cultures for millennia. Modern research suggests these same archetypal patterns may be woven into the fabric of our psychedelic experiences.  In this interactive presentation, we'll explore how these frameworks can help you make sense of your own journeys.

Learn to:
• Apply research-backed storytelling models to your psychedelic experiences.
• Understand the symbolism and metaphors that often emerge.
• Transform challenges into opportunities for growth and healing.
• Practice apply these techniques to your own story

Through interactive exercises you'll gain practical tools to decode your psychedelic journeys and navigate your path with newfound clarity.
