Ep.16 — Mike | Learning to Live Again

In this episode, we sit down with Mike, a first-time Enfold guest and newcomer to psychedelics, exploring his journey of self-discovery and healing. Feeling a deep-seated misalignment, Mike sought a profound shift in perspective. Through preparation, ceremony, and integration, he embarked on a transformative exploration of self.

Key Points:
Enfold hosts a diverse range of individuals, including professionals seeking a deeper connection with themselves.
Preparation and integration are crucial aspects of the Enfold experience, helping participants navigate the journey and process the insights gained.
Integration involves confronting fears and old tensions, which may resurface after the ceremony, and embracing the discomfort to release and transform.
The Enfold experience provides a supportive and caring environment that enhances the overall experience and facilitates personal growth.
The 5-MeO-DMT experience can be life-changing and lead to a re-examination of one’s behaviours and consciousness.
Articulating the experience can be challenging, as it often involves a felt sensation that is difficult to put into words.
Prior to the experience, it is beneficial to spend time with oneself, embrace discomfort, and cultivate presence.
