- Its based on Stanislav Grof's research into psychedelic therapy, holotropic breathwork, transpersonal psychology, and spiritual emergencies
- Dr. Stanislov Grof and his wife just launched this program
- It's not just about breathwork
- His involvement in the Grof transpersonal training program dropped off in the last few years
- He wasn't allowed to teach breathwork in the GTT model, there wasn't any growth in the company, so a lot of people like Grof left and started their own thing
- Kyle says this is pretty common with trademarks and protocols
- Joe says he's very excited about it
- Kyle says Stan's work is very important and a lot of the reason Psychedelics Today came to be
- Native American Churches don't have as much access as they need to properly grow Peyote
- Perhaps, in countries where Peyote isn't illegal, there should be growing of Peyote
- Native American's are in a bad spot due to colonialism
- As insiders, we need to talk about how to use less Peyote
- "Pick one, plant two" should be the mindset
- Kyle says, "how do we just respect these sacred medicines?"
- Survey of entity encounter experiences occasioned by inhaled N,N-dimethyltryptamine: Phenomenology, interpretation, and enduring effects
- 2,561 individuals (mean age 32 years; 77% male) completed an online survey about their single most memorable entity encounter after taking N,N-dimethyltryptamine
- Senses involved were visual and extra-sensory
- The most common descriptive labels for the entity were being, guide, spirit, alien and helper
- 41% of respondents reported fear
- More than half of those who identify as Atheist before, no longer identified with Atheism after the experience
- Out of any other method, DMT seems to occasion the most entities
