Awakening the Navigator

Meditation Training for the Psychedelic Voyage

“Entering psychedelic space without a trained mind is like white water rafting without a paddle.”

Meet your paddle:

Learn the Elephant Path, an Indo-Tibetan mind-training system.

1. Navigate Psychedelics with Stability

This training cultivates Samatha (calm-staying), your stable attention, so you can:
✅ Calm-stay with traumatic energy until it resolves.
✅ Calm-stay with healing energy until it integrates.

2. Cultivate Subtle Awareness & Perception

This training sharpens your awareness to:
✅ Enhance attunement and perceive the subtle layers of experience.
✅ Develop abilities others may label "shamanic," but which become natural.

3. Unlock the Power of Undistracted Focus

Sustained attention is key to manifesting your visions.
✅ Stay present with tasks until completion.
✅ Free yourself from distraction and mental agitation.

Who Is This For?

This training is for psychedelic journeyers who:

  • Are ready to take spiritual development to an entirely new level within a community at the intersection of advanced psychedelic and meditative technologies.

  • Recognize that all experience is Awareness and understand the importance of training attention—since wherever we focus our awareness is literally where we live our lives.

  • Are realizing that true contentment will not come from yet another weekend training or another psychedelic experience. Contentment is our fundamental nature as Awareness, which can be stabilized through daily meditative practice as a permanent trait instead of a temporal state.

  • Desire to successfully meditate daily and see their lives fundamentally change over the next year.

  • “Hey folks!.. I did this with Ryan and it really took my own meditation to a new level and gave me some great skills to share with clients. It’s also a really great way to be in community and build a practice together that benefits all of us. Also, Ryan’s level of experience and depth with this practice is very evident and he holds a great space for learning and sharing. I really recommend checking it out!”

  • “I have been a long time TM meditation meditator and this training took my own meditation practice to a new level and gave me additional skills that I was not able to do on my own. There is something to be said about making a commitment to show up and connect with each twice-weekly live meditation.  These group sessions are the glue that resources us to be in community and build a practice together that enriches everyone involved.”

  • “The well thought out organization, skillful guiding, sense of mastery and confidence help to create a container of trust and safety. When Ryan speaks there is an expression of the qualities of friendship, support and care that he has for others. He has a commitment to his students and to the larger world to be there for others and to be present. Through his teachings and way of being in the world, he has helped me discover another aspect of my own unfolding.”
