The Importance of Integration
Redefining Spirituality
Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
Networking Kick-off
Thursday, April 14
Come meet, mingle, mix with other Shift Gathering attendees.
Location TBD
People are drawn to psychedelics for three reasons: to heal, to explore or play, and to worship. And those in the space find a large overlap of those things. Some approach for healing and find they are having spiritual experiences. Others come to play and find intense healing. Others come seeking spirituality and find laughter, peace and healing. The three tracks we’ve developed are based on these three modalities.
Note: plant medicines can not be healing if safety is not a primary concern. All keynotes and breakout sessions will be addressing safety.
Track One: Healing
Track Two: Worship
Track Three: Exploration
Working with Clients Who are Taking Psychedelics
Learn how to help clients who are taking plant medicine. You do not have to take psychedelics to give guidance, offer support and assist with integration. Come learn from professionals who are doing this on a daily basis.
The Importance and Power of Integration
Without integration that follows a plant medicine experience, the insights and lessons can be lost. Learn about the importance and power that integration can provide.
And you’ll probably realize you have all the tools you need in your own toolbox.
Religious Protections
Religious protections are robust in the US and in Utah. Attend this breakout session to learn about what is happening locally and nationally.
And learn about how religious protections are helping people find real healing through worship and community.
Redefining Spirituality
Religious affiliation is in sharp decline but spirituality is growing exponentially. Explore what spiritually can look like now.
Let’s redefine spiritual exploration, peace and satisfaction.
