ERIE presents: Entheogenic Integration and Individuation
Wednesday, October 29, 6:15 PM
CIIS Main Building, Namaste Hall (3rd Floor), 1453 Mission St., San Francisco, CA, 94103 , San Francisco [http://www.meetup.com/erievision/events/193936292/]
Justin Hartery, MFTI, graduate from the California Institute of Integral Studies’ Somatic Psychology program, will speak on how to "Integrate your peak experience". Have you ever returned from a peak experience and struggled to live from that vibrant, magical place within yourself that you now know to exist? It is very common to experience a sense of disillusionment, come-down, and compartmentalization from these expansive states as one returns to the more “ordinary” conventions of reality. Rather than return to complacency and wait for the next journey to provide you with a temporary sense of fulfillment through yet another "life-changing" experience, learn how to bring your dreams to life by growing an embodied relationship with your essential self.
Larry Norris and Julie Megler will talk about "Self-Discovery, Relationship, and Community Through Entheogenic Integration". Julie D. Megler is a board certified nurse practitioner in psychiatry and family medicine, has presented at the Psychedelic Science conference and The Women’s Visionary Congress on the topics of psychedelic drug harm reduction, and has developed potential therapeutic applications of ayahuasca for posttraumatic stress disorder. Larry Norris is the founder and executive director of ERIE (Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education), a group dedicated to the development of entheogenic research and integration models (www.erievision.org). ERIE brings diverse entheogenic speakers, practitioners, and researchers to share their wisdom with the San Francisco/Bay Area community.
