This eight week course explores the re-emergence of altered states in end-of-life care through history, spirituality, neuroscience, ritual, grief work, and community healing. Drawing from ancient traditions and modern research, participants learn how non-ordinary states, plant allies, and sacred ritual have accompanied humanity through death, dying, birth, reconciliation, and transformation across cultures and time.
Featuring international speakers, death workers, ritualists, ministers, and spiritual practitioners, topics include ancestral approaches to altered states and dying; end-of-life psychedelic-informed care; end-of-life uses of medicinal herbs, flower essences, aromatherapy, and medical cannabis; ethics and harm reduction; integration; and the evolving relationship between science and spirituality.
We train death workers to bring psilocybin, other psychedelics, and plant allies into their work with people who are dying, in microdosing and high-level microdosing amounts. Then we ordain our graduates as Threshold Missionaries, clergy,who can speak publically and guide openly.
Students will be required to complete homework. Graduates have continuing educations, volunteer hours, and dues requirements which will be discussed at the Q&As.
