SWIMming Deep, FLOATing Home: Tools for Psychedelic Self‑Discovery, Clinical Practice, and Embodied Leadership

Dr. Alana (Lani) Roy & Melissa Warner

How can psychedelic therapy be both scientifically robust and deeply relational? How do we honour the body, the mind, the transpersonal, and the social-political context of each journeyer? Psychedelic experiences can plunge us into vast, beautiful, or bewildering inner territory. For both therapists and journeyers, one can feel out of their depth. Without clear frameworks for understanding what arises, we may miss opportunities for healing, or struggle to integrate the gifts and challenges of altered states.
