The Meaningful DIY Journey course is designed for those ready to embark on their (first) psychedelic experience with confidence and the necessary tools for a safe and meaningful journey.
This course (named ‘Een Veilige & Betekenisvolle Do It Yourself Reis met Psychedelica in 9 Stappen’ in Dutch) will guide you through a 9-step process to prepare for a do-it-yourself psychedelic journey in the comfort of your own home. Door of Perception (Dorien), an experienced psychedelic professional, will be your remote guide throughout the adventure, helping you create a safe and meaningful experience.
This course is ideal for beginners who have a growing interest in psychedelics but have not yet experienced them and more experienced “travellers” who wish to make their journeys more meaningful. The course is only suitable for healthy participants without mental health issues who want to use psychedelics for personal growth, curiosity, or exploration of spiritual themes. It is accessible to everyone, regardless of worldview, religion, or cultural background.
The 9-step program consists of informative texts and practical assignments, mainly in text and audio files (and a few videos). It is recommended to take at least six weeks to complete the program at your own pace. The course also includes eight guided meditations to help prepare you for the journey and a DIY Toolkit with checklists, sitter instructions, preparatory meditations, and music recommendations.
Enrollment for the course costs €55, with 5% of the proceeds being donated to psychedelic-related charities. Participating in this pilot version of the course will receive a 50% discount off the regular price. The pilot version includes the same components and content as the final version, with only the details and layout to be further refined in the future.
