What is a “psychedelic experience” or an “expanded state of consciousness”? How do we understand these phenomena, both psychologically and spiritually? How can Jewish people begin to integrate the concepts and practices of “transpersonal psychology” into their own healing work and spiritual development?
In this community conversation, we are joined by Dr. Ido Cohen, Psy.D, to learn about the history of this area of psychology, his journey back to Jewish wisdom and practice, and the power of visualization to transform spiritual practice.
These programs are offered as a free community resource. If you feel moved to donate to support this work, you may do so here.
