Thank you to @George Siffri who brought to our attention his research into Kintsugi-which is a Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery or ceramics using a special lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum. The term "kintsugi" means "golden joinery" or "golden repair," and the technique is also sometimes referred to as "kintsukuroi," which means "golden repair with care." It sounds A LOT like psychedelic integration, right? 👁️ This was a beautiful jumping-off point into some of our favorite microdosing 🍄 integration practices (remember, there is no right way, or wrong way, just A LOT of different ways) 👁️ The 5 practices WE discussed were: 🍄 Time in nature 🍄 Quiet reflection 🍄 Journaling 🍄 Focusing on the present moment 🍄 Living authentically ie "deviating from societal norms" But, how are these two integration concepts interconnected? One is an art form, and one is based on psychological "work"......NOW, LET US merge them together 👁️ Kintsugi and psychedelic integration both share the common theme of embracing imperfection and using it as a catalyst for growth and transformation. Just as Kintsugi uses precious metals to highlight the beauty of broken pottery, psychedelic integration encourages us to embrace our imperfections and use them as an opportunity for growth and learning 👁️ Living authentically is a crucial aspect of both Kintsugi and psychedelic integration. Kintsugi emphasizes the beauty of imperfection, and living authentically means embracing our imperfections and owning our vulnerabilities 👁️ In the same way, psychedelic integration encourages us to be honest and true to ourselves and to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance 👁️ By living authentically, we can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance, and build more meaningful and authentic connections with others 👁️

Here are the lyrics to have a good read! Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I, "You do not know" " Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said " The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fWyzwo1xg0 @Cyndi Hanna @George Siffri @Amy Steinberg @Brandy Fithen @Ana-Katherine Anderson @Lisa Schafer

Just wanted to drop in and say Happy Spring Equinox everyone! Here's a quick reading (out loud) from the Micro Reflections For The 21st Sensory https://youtu.be/N9vXqT5xMvs Just a FUN FACT here: these passages were built intentionally to be 36 total (in the book) and used 3x per week that equals 12 weeks or a season. Starting them on an equinox or a solstice, keeps the reader/viewer in the cycles of nature, season to season.... So, without further ado, here is Passage 1: The Power Of Attention https://youtu.be/N9vXqT5xMvs Enjoy!

I feel like this is huge especially after tonight’s talk! 💜 peace love and light to everyone

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday. Just wanted to welcome some new members to the community! If you're new here, feel free to say hello, introduce yourself, tell us what your intention is for being a part of this microdosing 🍄 community, and what you'd like to learn! I look forward to conducting a weekly live stream for everyone on topics around microdosing and offering shifts in your perspective! Below, I attached the 6Cs for this community, which are: 1.) Courage 2.) Clarity 3.) Creativity 4.) Compassion 5.) Communication 6.) Consciousness When we can take the time to view life through a wide perspective, starting with self first, we give ourselves the ability to make a ripple effect on the world around us. Self 👁️>>>>>Community ⭕>>>>>The 🌎>>>>>Self 👁️=INTERCONNECTEDNESS Even if you adopt one of the Cs per day, you're off to a great start. Remember, this is about frequency + consistency. When you're microdosing and using "the engage and filter method" with these new perspectives, you give yourself the ability to make the gradual shifts in your life that you deserve. Of course "the engage and filter method" and the "frequency and consistency" framework are all mapped out when you choose a 90-Day Journey Back To YOU. Happy Journeying, Brian
