The three ninety-minute sessions will offer a practical approach to the understanding and application of mindful intelligence (MQ) and Open Awareness Meditation exploring the traditional elements of Satipatthana Bhavana – the ancient Buddhist practice of “All Posture, All States Mindful Intelligence Meditation “as well as its contemporary metalanguage into the Art of Whole-Mind and Body Awareness. 

This training applies to anyone with a love of higher learning, the exploration and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness, and nonviolent activism, psychedelic-assisted therapists, psychologists, psychotherapists, clinicians, and plant medicine adventurers and more.

The Training includes comprehensive instructions at the intersection of micro-dosing through the lens’ of mindful intelligence, open awareness meditation and self-therapy. 

These sessions will foster:

• a mindful life

SESSION ONE (Sunday July 16th): “The Embodied Wisdom of Mindful Intelligence and the Transformation of Consciousness”: An experiential overview of “The Embodied Wisdom of Mindful Intelligence (MQ)” also known as Satipatthana Bhavana – (the Pali Buddhist) concept that refers to the “Beautification of Consciousness.” These “Timeless Freedom Trainings (TFT)” – will be further explored through their intimate and experiential application to the world of psychedelics, especially the micro-dosing of LSD, Psilocybin, 5 MEO-DMT, and Ketamine.

SESSION TWO (Monday October 16th): ‘The Radical Art of Self-Responsibility and Befriending Oneself”: The Buddha’s First Noble Truth is often referred to as the Truth of Dukkha or the Truth of Suffering.  In this second session, Alan will explain the subtleties and meta-nuances of the multi-level meaning of Dukkha – as the spectrum of human, cognitive and existential stress and equally, how trauma, anxiety and depression are intrinsic to the fabric of existence and felt within a highly nuanced spectrum of degrees.

SESSION THREE (Monday October 23rd): “The Art of Radical Self-Honesty and Psychedelic-Assisted Self-Therapy Training.”: To conclude this special video series, Alan will share a unique and highly personal process that he calls, “The Art of Radical Self-Honesty and Buddhist Oriented Psychedelic-Assisted Self-Therapy Training.” AKA, “Refining the Intelligence of Authenticity, Trustworthiness, Conscience, Dignity and Ethical Courage.”

Although not compulsory, we highly recommend that participants read Alan’s groundbreaking book, “Facing Death: Alan Clements in Conversation with Reverend Bodhi Be.” In this short and powerful book, Alan and Bodhi Be (who runs the Death Store – Hawaii’s only not-for-profit end-of-life, memorial and burial service) engage in an inspiring, life-elevating conversation about “death and dying.”
