Psychedelic Preparation Workshop: Grounding Tools

Psychedelic Preparation Workshop: Grounding Tools to Help Ride the Waves of the Journey

You may be curious about ceremonial psychedelic journeys, and interested in the spiritual connection and healing that you might experience, yet fear of the unknown often holds us back from taking that first step.

This workshop is for you if you:

• Are new to psychedelics or already have some experience
• Are apprehensive about going on a deep journey with Ayahuasca, Acacia or another type of natural psychedelic
• Worry that you may be afraid or overwhelmed during the experience or unable to handle what comes your way
• Have had a difficult psychedelic experience in the past, and want to avoid that experience in the future
• Want to avoid having a “bad trip" or you fear losing control and panicking

Preparing for a Psychedelic Journey

When journeying with psychedelics, whether ceremonially, therapeutically or otherwise, it’s important that you have an experienced guide, a safe and comfortable setting, that you know the appropriate dosage to take and you don't have any contraindicated health conditions. There is also a prescribed diet "dieta" to prepare your body. This workshop does not cover the above in depth.

Rather, this workshop focused on the internal preparation that you can do to help you "ride the waves" of the journey itself with more ease. 

Based on our extensive experience with deep journeys, we have identified a set of tools that help you navigate the sometimes stormy seas of a deep plant medicine journey.

We teach pearls of wisdom that might just be the life-boat you need during your next journey!

If you journey with us at Sacred Waters, you can expect that we will prepare the set and setting, so that you can focus on the internal work of connecting with the spiritual essence of the plant, and staying present with what you receive.

What is Grounding?

“Grounding” is a term used frequently in the psychedelic and spiritual space. Although it can mean many things, in our group, it means bringing yourself back when you find yourself spiraling into dark thoughts or negative emotions.

By learning and practicing grounding techniques before the journey, you will be better prepared to ride the waves of the journey. These tools can also help you in your daily life to feel more emotionally balanced.

What you will Learn

In this 2-hour online workshop, you will:

• Discover grounding tools to practice during your journey
• Learn how to recover quickly if you find yourself in a difficult space
• Learn how to surrender to the medicine and let go of control
• Find ways to connect deeper with the spiritual essence of the medicine you are journeying with
• Understand how deep psychedelic journeys can cause neuroplasticity and how you can use this to rewire your brain and nervous system to a new baseline
• Learn when ask for assistance and when to trust yourself and practice your grounding tools
