This course explores the transformative potential of sacred plant medicine in supporting those entering the end-of-life journey, as well as their loved ones. Participants will learn how these ancient practices can provide emotional, spiritual, and psychological relief to individuals transitioning from the physical world, and how it can offer solace to the bereaved.
Learn about who may be a suitable candidate for a sacred plant medicine experience at the end-of-life, how to best prepare for such an experience, and who might not be well-suited for this approach. The course will also cover the physiological effects of these substances, important legal considerations*, and how to create a safe and supportive environment (space and setting) for psychedelic journeys. Finally, we will delve into strategies for integrating these profound experiences, helping participants or their loved ones deepen their understanding of the world beyond the physical plane, and approach this transition phase with greater grace and ease.
