In an era fascinated by peak experiences and personal revelations, the deeper task of transformation is often overlooked. This workshop offers a grounded path for those who have touched something sacred — through psychedelics, mystical states, or profound life transitions — and are now asking, How do I live in service to what I’ve seen?

Rooted in Jungian psychology and contemplative practice, this week at Esalen will guide participants into the art of integration — not as a checklist, but as a lifelong discipline of becoming. We will explore the difference between having an experience and being changed by one.

Participants are invited to:

• Learn how Jungian frameworks like shadow work, archetypes, and symbolic amplification support sustained integration.
• Engage in guided practices for anchoring insight into daily life, including journaling, inner work, somatic reflection, and sacred conversation.
• Reflect on the dangers of spiritual inflation and the importance of humility, discipline, and reverence post-awakening.
• Explore the cultural myths surrounding psychedelics and reframe medicine work as one part of a larger soul journey.
• Reconnect with the deeper values of love, kindness, accountability, and interconnection as essential fruits of any authentic spiritual path.

This course is not about chasing visions — it is about carrying them with integrity. Come if you are ready to descend, reflect, and reshape your life in honor of what has already begun within you.

While our workshops explore the history and potential of psychedelic tools and altered states, Esalen workshops do not involve the use, provision, or facilitation of any psychoactive substances.
