Explore Inhibitory & Excitatory Trance States

There are three avenues to open the gates to altered states of consciousness. 1) Through psychedelics. 2) Inhibitory: stilling or inhibiting the senses until awareness of the material realm fades. And 3) Excitatory: stimulating the senses to a point where the mind can't keep up. Each of these types yields different yet connected experiences and skill in each is vital for the fully-fledged psychonaut. In this workshop we'll explore techniques and choreography of the later two. Expect movement, sound, guided meditation, chaos and stillness. Leave your mind behind.
