Simon Newton’s Art of Undoing
Simon will be available to offer brief craniosacral interventions as participants let go to the medicine, and to assist in integration.
He has a lifelong history with alternative approaches to being and inner states of awareness. It all began with a near death experience at age two, during which he felt the breathless beauty of infinite silence. After studying Applied Psychology at Sussex University he spent several years alternating between holy sites in India and permaculture projects in the UK before settling in Glastonbury, England.
He has studied in the Kriya Yoga tradition with Roy Eugene Davis since 2000 and has led meditation groups in 3 countries. He now has a private practice in Asheville, NC, practicing Craniosacral Therapy with his three Savannah cats. To see the synthesis of psychology, spiritual and psychedelics emerging in the public sphere is a lifelong dream of his. You can read about Simon at his website.
Medicine
If you do not have any troches left, Dr. Foy will offer follow up screenings for $125. Based on your particular situation, he is open to prescribing enough medicine to cover multiple workshops. If you already have another form of oral ketamine, please check with us to see if it would be compatible with the group.
Note: Please arrange for transportation so that you do not have to drive at the end of the workshop. We can help coordinate ride shares.
