INSIGHT

Design The Experience And Trust The Body

Psychedelic journeys and immersive performances use the same skill set: design the situation and trust wisdom will emerge.
Jodi Lomask draws on decades of choreography to set contexts where bodies and environments allow creative insight to surface.

INSIGHT

Match Medicine To The Setting

Different medicines have intrinsic 'ideal situations' that shape outcomes and preferences.
Jodi says psilocybin 'wants the forest', LSD 'likes the city' and MDMA prefers comforting environments, shaping setting choices.

ADVICE

Begin Journeys With An Embodiment Warmup

Help people ground in their bodies before a journey to reduce anxiety and increase flow.
Jodi always starts travelers with a morning embodiment movement workshop so their core can 'wrap around' and feel safe during the experience.
