Feeling drawn to the profound depths of a solo psychedelic trip but wondering how to navigate it safely and meaningfully?
Doing shrooms or other psychedelics alone can be one of the most profound experiences of your life. Without the social and emotional input of others, you can dive deeper into your own consciousness, emote more freely, and emerge with the empowering sense that you have the tools to navigate your own inner world.
But let’s be real. Journeying by yourself can also be intimidating. How do you prepare? What do you do if things get challenging? How do you make sure you’re safe?
That’s why we’re excited to announce our upcoming workshop: Tripping Solo, Together: Skills for Safe Solo Journeys + Community Integration Circle with Dr. Ido Cohen, Psy.D. Happening this Sunday, Sep 28th at 1pm PT, this two-hour session is designed for anyone curious about solo journeys whether you’re a beginner or an experienced psychonaut seeking tools to enhance your practice.
Doing psychedelics solo demands thoughtful preparation, strong harm‑reduction practices, and a plan for meaning‑making afterward. This live, community workshop blends practical solo‑journey guidance with a facilitated integration circle so attendees can process past experiences and translate insights into daily life. We’ll cover best practices for set and setting, dosage considerations, safety plans, and how to choose tools such as playlists, breathwork, somatic anchors, journaling prompts that support a solo arc from intention to integration.
For professional trip sitters and facilitators, we will spotlight how to ethically support clients who wish to journey on their own, before, during, and after, so that solo work remains grounded, safe, and growth‑oriented. You’ll leave with checklists and frameworks you can apply immediately in your practice (or on your next personal journey).
What You’ll Learn:
– Solo‑specific preparation: intention setting, set/setting design, safety checks, and support “on call.”
– Gentle dose‑range guidance and timing for solo contexts; how to “start low, go slow.”
– A simple field kit: breath and body anchors, music curation, journaling/voice notes, environmental cues.
– “When it gets hard”: skills for meeting fear, looping thoughts, nausea, and disorientation with curiosity.
– Designing an integration container that actually happens
– For facilitators/trip sitters: ethical considerations, boundary‑keeping, remote monitoring protocols, screening/contraindication red flags, and a consent‑forward framing for solo work.
