In this workshop, Mary will present on compassion, connection, authenticity and play. She will cover the primary therapeutic competencies necessary for guiding psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and their importance for guiding psychedelic sessions with emphasis on presence, care, connection and non-directive support. Also covered will be the importance of establishing a safe set and setting in sessions with focus on safety issues, intentions and comfort. The importance of integration will also be discussed as well as the use of guided imagery in psychedelic-assisted therapy specifying when and how to use it. There will be a section about encounters with death in psychedelic experiences and the importance of personal death awareness to aid in being a better psychedelic guide and to live a more fully now. Didactic and experiential learning via a demonstration, guided imageries, a writing exercise and break out groups will to be used to incorporate the information and techniques discussed. Question and answer periods will follow each segment.
