Threshold Mandala Practitioner Training
About
Something is shifting in the field.Practitioners across psychology, psychotherapy and psychiatry are encountering experiences that no single model fully explains. Clients navigating profound meditation practices alongside psychedelic journeys, deep relational openings that resemble spiritual transformation, states of consciousness that challenge conventional categories.
The maps we have are often fragmented. The Threshold Mandala offers a new one.
This is a small-group practitioner training for psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and experienced helping professionals. An intimate founding cohort exploring the shared territory that emerges across three gateways of transformational inquiry:
Meditation and Mindfulness: awareness, attention and contemplative investigation
Eros and Sexuality: intimacy, desire, relationality and embodied aliveness
Psychedelics and Medicines: altered states, expanded perception and non-ordinary experience
While each pathway is distinct, they reveal strikingly similar questions about identity, perception, meaning and what it means to be human.
