Here’s what we’ll cover

In The Psychedelics For Beginners Free Online Course

module 1

mindset

“When we live a life closer in alignment to our values, we frequently feel happier, more satisfied, and more energetic. When we act and behave in ways that are not in alignment with our values, we can feel stressed out, uneasy, and unhappy.”

The first module, Mindset, was carefully designed by Tim Sinnett, an Integrative Transformational Life Coach and Psychedelics facilitator. This module will equip you with a deeper understanding of yourself before beginning your journey with plant medicine and psychedelics. Understand what is most important to you at this point in your life, align with your true values, and set yourself up for successful outcomes.

In this module you will:

Determine whether psychedelics are appropriate for you
Define your core values and primary goals
Create the appropriate mindset to step forward in achieving those goals

module 2

COMPOUNDS

“No matter which medicine you choose, they are all going to open you up into altered and expanded states of consciousness. Lots of thoughts, ideas, memories, and experiences can unfold in these realms, some of which may be entirely new to you.”

Cannot wait for our next meeting and the next module!”
