VISION
Empowering self-awareness and personal development through experiential transmissions and transformational psychedelic education
sacred, disruptive, ineffable
ecstatic mysticism
- dive into unexplored shores of consciousness - dive into unexplored shores of consciousness- dive into unexplored shores of consciousness- dive into unexplored shores of consciousness
Ecstatic Mysticism (formerly Psychedelic Therapy Training) is a radical and profound initiatory program that focuses on educating and preparing self-aware, mature, and skillful seekers and leaders who can be of service to their communities and to the world. Following a shared foundation—the three-month Introductory Cycle and Noesis, the Introductory Happening—participants may continue through either the comprehensive Three-Year Experience or the flexible, self-directed Open Learning Experience.
sacred mystery
We emphasize the combination of rigorous integrative education with hands-on experiential learning to challenge students to grow beyond their corners of knowledge and to be transformed into responsible and compassionate practitioners that can transmit authenticity from within their own paths to serve their communities.
The experience we are offering is a unique synthesis of Western philosophical and therapeutic traditions, mystical practice, and carefully contextualized encounters with Indigenous wisdom traditions and living ceremonial cultures.
We are inspired by and in dialogue and relationship with: Nahua, Wixaritari, Ai, Mitsogo, Babongo, Massango, and Lakota shamanic lineages; Humanistic, Gestalt, and Transpersonal psychology lineages; as well as contemplative lineages from Vajrayana, Radical Dzogchen, and Kashmiri Shaivism.
Ecstatic Mysticism is a blend of in-person Happenings and online Cycles.
Half of the program is dedicated to our online Cycles led by leaders, teachers, and facilitators in the fields of transpersonal and gestalt psychology, psychedelic medicine and research, deep ecology and systemic theory, dying and death, entheogenic origins, sexuality and eroticism, and liminality: the intersection of madness and mysticism.
The other half is committed to in-depth experiential work in our in-person retreats and pilgrimages. These Hapenings are centered on embodied inner-work and therapeutic group processing, along with learning from the diverse traditions, rituals, and cosmovisions of indigenous communities, including: The A'i, within an A'i-Cofan reservation in the Ecuadorian Amazon; a Massango/Babongo village in Gabon, Africa; the Wixaritari at Wirikuta, the peyote pilgrimage site in Mexico, and the Yawanawa territory in Brazil.
Ecstatic Mysticism is a non-profit project from AWE - an NGO focused on investigating, recovering, and defending the mystical experience.
