Description

Not all experiences with psychedelics feel good. It’s in fact common for people to experience some level of distress, and without proper guidance, these unpleasant journeys can leave people feeling more dis-integrated than they were before.

In this dynamic recording, Gabor Maté, MD, will present from research and his own extensive experience, ways to reduce the likelihood of harm from psychedelic use, and how negative or unpleasant experiences can be transformed into deeply meaningful and healing experiences.
