Stanislav Grof is one of the founders of the field of transpersonal psychology. He has personally explored the use of non-ordinary states of consciousness for inner exploration, healing, recreation and in search of deeper insight into the human psyche.

Stan is one of the most influential psychedelic practitioners and his work and influence is legend. MAPS, USONA, Compass Pathways and most research studies all follow his non-interventive sitter protocol for holding space during a session. He was the first to articulate the concept of the "inner healer" that resides in each individual's consciousness and provides every person with the power and capacity to know for themselves what they need for their own healing.

We bring you Stan in candid conversations discussing his approach to conducting psychedelic sessions. Few people have heard Stan speak about the protocol he used to conduct more than 5,000 LSD sessions. Most people assume that his LSD sessions were done in the same manner as his Holotropic Breathwork sessions (spoiler alert: this is NOT the case). He provides us with an essential download about his non-interventive approach to holding space for psychedelic sessions and provides us with some history of what he was doing in sessions in the 1960's before prohibition.
