at one point in my life i seriously considered offering authentic relating workshops or something in that vein as the job i was going to do. i consistently rejected it and the main reason i could see is the problem with all those workshops is that they end

like you can get together with people for a few days and talk about your feelings and this can legitimately be psychedelic and open parts of you up that have never been opened up before and then the workshop fucking ends and everyone fucking flies home to their *separate* lives

meditation retreats and ayahuasca ceremonies etc. have this problem too. there isn't a good mechanism for integrating the peak experience with the rest of your life. that's not what you paid for and it's not what you get. sometimes there are zoom calls or some shit 🙄

Relate to this so hard. A lot of things in life would be a lot easier if I could establish stronger wormholes between different mental states. Ex: ease ability to do these kinds of transitions (in both directions!) - manic/creative <=> focused/industrial - inspired <=> lazy - etc
