Psychedelics Today

PT519 – Exploring Somatic Practices and Psychedelics, with Pierre Bouchard, LPC & Kara Tremain, ACC


Listen Later

In this episode – the first in the 2024 series of Vital Psychedelic Conversations – David interviews Pierre Bouchard, LPC: Vital instructor and lead trainer for the Congregation for Sacred Practices; and Kara Tremain, ACC: recent Vital graduate-turned-instructor, somatic practitioner, and growth and development coach. 

In this series, we pair up a Vital instructor with a current or previous student as a way of showcasing different (and aligned) perspectives on what they feel is most vital for the psychedelic space to be discussing, while also highlighting their experiences with Vital, our 12-month training program. The next cohort begins September 17 and we're accepting applications now.  

As they are both are passionate about somatic work, they discuss: 

  • The power of somatics in showing people how much our bodies and nervous systems matter, and how our thoughts are often not the main driver
  • How ketamine or MDMA can help with somatic work
  • How somatic sound can be, through music for journeys, sound bowls, or tuning forks: Can just the right frequency create magic?
  • How somatic work is not solely about resolving trauma, but also about learning to conduct energy and use one's body as a tuning apparatus

and more!
