Understanding the common and divergent change processes in meditation practices, psychedelic treatment, and other methods of evoking non-ordinary states offers clinicians and researchers an opportunity for deeper understanding of how psychological disorders are created and alleviated. This course will explore the history, science, neurobiology, and pros and cons of different ways of working with non-ordinary states of consciousness, especially psychedelics. It is intended for mental health and health practitioners, and others wanting a deeper understanding of non-ordinary states and their therapeutic potential. Multiple learning formats will be used including didactic presentations, panels, case discussions, and Q&A. Course directors will also lead participants in a guided meditation session.
