Coaching, Fractal Inquiry, and Creating Your Own Psychedelic Integration Circle, with Daniel Shankin

Psychedelics Today, episode 547 - "Coaching, Fractal Inquiry, and How to Create Your Own Psychedelic Integration Circle."
In this episode, David interviews Daniel Shankin: psychedelic integration coach, Vital instructor, and founder and director of Tam Integration.
He talks about the underrated importance of integration circles, how he created Tam Integration out of a personal need for them, how simple it can be for people to create their own groups, and how open-ended newly formed groups can be. He also discusses his “fractal inquiry” coaching method, and how the best coaching involves simply asking questions that lead clients to their own realizations and wisdom. He is offering courses that teach both of these skills: a course called Creating Community Psychedelic Integration Circles, and the newly-launched, year-long Mt. Tam Psychedelic Integration Coaching Program, beginning in October.
He discusses:
-The importance of learning how to focus on your breath, especially during a tough experience
-Hugging the Hindu spiritual leader, Amma (Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi), and the special energy that some people have
-The benefits of knowing when a mind path isn’t worth exploring
-The difference between judgment and curiosity
-The weirdness of psychonauts, and how maybe getting a little weirder is what’s needed for your healing
and more!
