Buddhism & Psychedelic Therapy

Working from both traditional texts and those written by modern meditation researchers, the course covers a range of topics and experience types, looks at how experiences have been met and understood through application of Buddhist psychology, and what psychedelic therapy providers might apply to work with psychedelics. The course includes study of best practices developed in research on trauma-sensitive mindfulness, self-compassion training programs, and difficult or “dark night” experiences in meditation. Participants will be invited to engage in contemplative practices throughout the course for an experiential learning component.
