This session explores how Jungian depth psychology can inform and enrich psychedelic-assisted therapy. Rooted in a soul-centered approach, Jungian theory offers tools for engaging with symbolic content, archetypes, shadow material, and the individuation process, elements often activated in expanded states of consciousness.

Participants will gain insight into applying Jungian concepts to clinical practice, with attention to therapeutic presence, unconscious dynamics, and the inner healing intelligence of the psyche. Through a depth-oriented lens, this session will support practitioners in cultivating greater attunement to the imaginal dimensions of psychedelic therapy.

What you will learn

How key Jungian concepts, such as archetypes, shadow, and individuation, relate to psychedelic experiences
The role of the unconscious and symbolic material in healing processes
Ways to relate depth psychological frameworks in preparation and integration
How to engage with expanded states of consciousness from a soul-centered perspective

Who is this for?

Psychedelic therapists and practitioners seeking tools for client preparation and post-session integration
Researchers exploring therapeutic mechanisms and psychotherapeutic frameworks in psychedelic studies
