Individual exploration of psychedelics has not ceased with the passing of the 1960s and appears to be growing. Meanwhile, respected researchers at prominent universities and research facilities are once again demonstrating the value of substances such as psilocybin, MDMA, and other psychedelics in healing from trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression \u2013 and in finding comfort and peace with terminal illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This eight-week online course places the contemporary exploration of psychedelics within the context of depth psychology and the individual lifelong path of individuation. Whether or not one has personal interest in experiencing psychedelics, considering the power and particularities of these various substances provides insight into the depths of the body-mind-spirit and the possibility of connection to collective or universal realms. For those with an interest in exploring psychedelics, the course will provide basic grounding in theoretical frameworks, factors that impact experience, and best practices to maximize safe journeys. Attention will be given to issues of cultural misappropriation, ethics, shadow, and legalities, as well as the growing study of the correlations between particular experiences in psychedelics and the planetary placements in the experiencer\u2019s natal and transit charts as shown by archetypal astrology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A detailed syllabus comprising suggested reading and multi-media viewing each week to deepen context and suggest avenues for further exploration<\/li><li>Online discussion assignments via D2L learning platform<\/li><li>A pre-recorded lecture for each of the eight modules<\/li><li>Live two-hour Zoom sessions with Jay Dufrechou each Wednesday at 1pm Pacific Time (4 pm ET, 9 pm GMT\/BST).
