Tools for the Journey :: A Psychedelic Series

By Julian Smith

Overview

Tools for the Journey helps navigate altered states safely. This sound-based session explores sensuality, pleasure, and embodied awareness.

Welcome to Tools for the Journey!

Tools for the Journey is an ongoing workshop series where experienced facilitators share practices and perspectives to help journeyers engage with altered mental states more safely, intentionally, and skillfully.

Each session blends a focused workshop or lecture with time to connect and converse with facilitators and fellow participants.The aim is to offer practical tools for navigating inner experience — while also helping people meet trusted facilitators in an open, community setting.

Topics will range from preparation and integration techniques to somatic tools, consent practices, and the art of working with different medicines.

Sessions are grounded in education and authentic sharing, offering a space where learning feels personal, embodied, and connected.


Tonight’s Workshop::
Follow the Pleasure: A Sound Journey through Sensation with Curiosity

Tools for the Journey invites you into a somatic and sound-based exploration designed to deepen your relationship with altered and expanded states. In this session, we follow pleasure as a guide — learning to listen inwardly, soften into sensation, tune into the erotic, and meet what arises with curiosity and care. Through sound, breath, and the touch of awareness, we cultivate the capacity to navigate psychedelic spaces with greater trust, presence, and embodied wisdom.

These practices become tools you can carry — ways of orienting through altered states, anchoring in what feels true, and weaving the extraordinary back into daily life. Along the way, we gently unwind the cultural shame around pleasure and erotic aliveness, inviting a fuller, more compassionate relationship with the body as a source of knowing.
