Embark on a transformative journey with Footsteps: a dedicated space where you unravel and cherish your psychedelic experiences. Whether you're seeking clarity, understanding, or healing from challenging moments, every purpose has its space here. It's about grasping those profound moments and weaving them seamlessly into your daily life.
While our Beyond Experience 4-days intensive workshop lays down the foundational knowledge of psychedelic experiences, Footsteps focuses on the everyday choices and actions that drive genuine transformation. Think of it as the day-to-day practice that brings life-altering insights into focus.
Join our 6-session online journey, where we expand on integration as a holistic life practice. It’s not just about psychedelics – it’s about embracing pivotal moments in our ever-evolving human story.
The course is structured as follows:
An intention is a guiding principle for how you want to be, live, and show up in the world— be it during your meditation, your psychedelic experience or any other area of your life. Educational Video
Live Session: Why is it important to set an intention?
How to set an intention?
Guided Visualization
Practical Exercise: Distilling an Intention
Group Work
Homework
Peer Group Meeting
Remembering an experience is crucial to be able to work with it further and let it unfold more deeply. At the same time, it is not about clinging to something that is gone, but about actualizing and perceiving how it is now. Live Session: Dimensions of Experience
Reconnecting with your experience
Practical Exercise: Externalizing Remembrance
Acceptance is a choice to embrace what is in the present moment. Acceptance is an active process of remaining aware and open to the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that arise when taking action in the service of one’s values. Acceptance is a choice and an active process, not an outcome; it is key to committed action.
Live Session: Acceptance and Avoidance
Tri-fold Cognitive Defusion
Practical Exercise: The Compassionate Mirror
Commitment is an important step for personal development. But why should you make a commitment? And how do you know what you really want to commit to? This is where clarifying your values comes into play.
Live Session: Values and Commitment
Life Inventory
Practical Exercise: From Clarity to Committed Action
Translation of psychedelic experiences is the art of reshaping a message you have gotten out of it. This is an inherently creative process. Things get lost in translation; beyond that, different aspects of a message can be accentuated and thus, maybe even for the very first time, be understood and acted upon.
Live Session: Ways of Translating Psychedelic Experiences
Integration Methods
Practical Exercise: Translating Transitions
Transformation can be understood as a path of ‘becoming whole’ and living life more fully. Wholeness is not finite and implies a lifelong process of transformation. A transformational process involves disintegration and subsequent reintegration in order to incorporate each new insight of change. Such a process is sometimes described as a sense of “coming home”, metaphorically circumscribing such a transformational journey.
Live Session: Transformation
Tri-Phasic Mandala
Practical Exercise: From Doing to Being

“My Footsteps journey was impactful and I’ve recommended this course already to family and friends who are looking not only to integrate their own experiences but also for a community with which to go through this process. “
“Thank you all for your time, effort and dedication. Bringing us together, all so different, was a very valuable experience. I had tears in my eyes more than once. I think many people will have a lot to benefit from this.“
“Good to know there are some techniques that can be used to help integrate our experiences. There is great potential here to create an on-going community to share resources and support each other.“
“The program has helped me make small but sustainable behavioral changes in line with my values and with the insights revealed to me in my experience, mostly because it has prompted me to take responsibility for implementing these insights in my daily life no matter how `insignificant` the change is. The facilitators have thought me a lot about how to create a suitable environment for learning and introspection and I was very grateful for the opportunity to connect to fellow travelers and benefit from their knowledge and warmth.“
“What you personally put into the course you will get back magnified, so go for it!“
“My journey was full of insight and rich in connection. I have obtained clarity not only in regards to the targeted psychedelic experience but also on my current life situation. The techniques learned on the journey were innovative, effective, and masterfully taught. The opportunity to share deep, meaningful conversations with other participants was one of the highlights. Overall, a transformative experience in itself which I highly recommend!“
