About this Event

In this interactive workshop, we'll go beyond mere intellectual understanding; we'll actively use these narrative frameworks to shape and transform your personal story.

- Tap into the wisdom of your psychedelic journeys, uncovering hidden meanings and insights
- Experiment with storytelling techniques to reframe challenges and celebrate triumphs
- Craft an empowering narrative that reflects your authentic self and aspirations
- Share your story in a safe and supportive space.
- Develop tools for ongoing integration, weaving psychedelic insights into your everyday life
