Altered States of Consciousness : Integration through Bilateral Stimulation
Join Brittany Bueno and Ynes Mon for an immersive workshop, “Altered States of Consciousness: Integration Through Bilateral Stimulation.” This event, held in the PRS Lecture Room, is designed to guide participants through the integration process of altered states of consciousness (ASC) using bilateral stimulation techniques, which help regulate the nervous system and promote deeper psychological processing. Attendees will learn how the synchronization of the brain’s hemispheres through bilateral stimulation can enhance well-being and mental clarity.
What You’ll Experience This workshop provides hands-on learning and exploration of various bilateral sensory practices that aid in integrating ASC experiences. Techniques such as auditory binaural stimulation will be featured, with a live demonstration led by Ynes Mon, enhancing your sensory experience through sound and visual deprivation.
Takeaways Participants will leave with personalized tools and resources, including:
- A guidebook filled during the workshop for continued use in integrating ASC experiences.
- An eye mask to assist with inward-focused sensory experiences.
- Resources for ongoing bilateral stimulation practices to maintain nervous system regulation and mental health benefits.
Important Notes
- No psychoactive substances are involved in this workshop. The focus is purely on the integration process through mental and sensory techniques.
- Please bring a mat or blanket, a writing utensil, and optionally, a pillow for comfort.
- Capacity is limited to 25 attendees, so be sure to RSVP ahead of time.
