My name is Amelia, and I'm working on becoming the best version of myself, through accepting, building trust and really loving all my demons. MFTJ helped me recommit to sustaining healthy habits for myself, and to help me to feel less alone in that pursuit. Self improvement can be a solitary path at times, it's nice to see/ feel that others are comittee to it. The best thing is hard to nail down, but a really good thing was the between class discussions on the mighty network. I enjoyed hearing the rich perspectives of the other participants, and it was encouraging to hear about their own journeys. Something the surprised me, I've worked with Daniel previously, but it was cool to see him light up in a different way, as a teacher. When someone shares their passion there's a special twinkle in the smile. Tools I've learned; starting meditation with nasi shodhana is a good way to jump into deep breathing. Also, I'm building an alter of important items that remind me of things, like to be present, curious, grateful, at peace, etc. There's a lot from the class that I hope to dig deeper into in the future; different styles, techniques, readings.

This course left me inspired in more ways than one. While the worlds of Eastern spirituality and psychedelics have long mingled, Daniel provided a very organized meet-n-greet between them and practical ways to integrate them. This goes well beyond what one might envision as "meditation," Daniel really transmitted a broad sweep of yogic/Eastern teachings and practices (with his typical humility, warmth and humor). He's got a grasp on such a wide cross section of traditions and different ways of approaching "meditation," there is something for everybody. I was particularly blown away by some of the somatic expression practices. And, I was inspired by the community - such lovely sincere explorers and supportive people. Much love to you all out there.

Meditation for the Journey has up leveled my psychedelic journey in ways I can hardly put into words. Over the course of the class I learned skills that have given me the confidence to go deeper on solo journeys and tools that have helped me through difficult trips. When I joined, I was concerned that I had only a little experience with psychedelics. I was curious about integrating psychedelic work with magic and meditation work I was already doing. The group consisted of amazing people from many different backgrounds who were so generous sharing their personal stories. Daniel has a gentle approach that stems from a deep caring about his community, which shows clearly in his work. I'm going forward from this class with a deeper confidence that I can take care of myself in psychedelic spaces and a community to call on when I need support.

The weekend intensive made me a better sitter, and by that I mean, back to sitting on my cushion with renewed vigor to watch the breath, to ground the body, to cultivate the mind. There was an ease to connecting with others in the class doing their own intensive personal work/self healing in the service of life. Daniel teaches with a gentleness and like any great member of a jam, he knows how to lead with the countless sources of wisdom that’s guided him and when to share in the groove and let the aliveness in others shine. Part psycho-spiritual tool kit expansion pack, part hikers’ rest stop along the life’s path. Join Daniel, you’ll explore yourself!

I entered as a complete noob (new person) to the integration scene after using psychedelics much of my life with reverence. Daniel's eclectic knowledge of spirituality, meditation, and magic helped me to understand the importance of having tools for not only having a fantastic journey but also how I can integrate these downloads into my life. I've been a solo journeyer most of my life, and really enjoyed having a loving community there to share their experiences and validate mine. I am extremely grateful that I was fortunate enough to attend this course, and look forward to continuing learning and being a member of this fantastic community.

I’m Sean, and my journey with psychedelics the past four years has led me to explore the possibility of working with others on a similar journey. I’ve struggled to maintain a regular meditation practice in the past, but thanks to this course, I now have a better understanding of how it fits into my life, and have been meditating consistently in different modalities since starting the course. The best thing about this course is that it’s designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned vet. What surprised me were how many critical insights I gained from Daniel as he provided the information in a digestible way that connected with me. I see myself using the skills I learned in MFTJ to not only help others develop a meditation practice of their own, but to help others prepare for psychedelic journeys, as well as holding space for others on this journey. Happy to have connected with others in this space. Well worth the time and investment.

Michelle Kemp an integrative embodiment coach guiding others in the reclamation of themselves. Meditation for the Journey helped me in supporting myself and getting to understand the texture of my being. The best thing about this class is the people and the leader (Daniel) who holds space so intently. I loved the weekly partner practice for the experience and getting to know the community. I’ve have already begin to use the tools in the way I hold space for myself and others. This class led me into wanting to understand Somatic work more and getting further certification in Somatic work. Meditation was full of information that I still circle back to as a resources.

I joined Meditation for the Journey excited to explore the more spiritual side of psychedelics and from this class, I've gained an arsenal of new tools and resources to do exactly that. I now feel more comfortable and more able to get in touch with myself and actually be receptive to the things I learn on my psychedelic journeys. I was surprised to find that many of these practices were positively affecting me even without the use of a molecule. This class covers a ton of great material and I plan to keep coming back to the readings and videos to keep experimenting with all the different tools both in and out of ceremony. I've already made a daily practice out of a few of the meditations I learned in this class.

Meditation for the Journey helped me access and address my inner self in a way I didn't think possible. This class was brimming with information on not only meditation but health assessment mentally and spiritually. I found community with the class as well something I don't have in my particular area of the US. As a wife and mother of two its super helpful to have information for my psychedelic journey and my spiritual growth thereafter.

I've taken this class twice as a novice psychonaut seeking to establish a good home base for exploration. This class is accessible and welcoming to people of all experience levels (with meditation and with medicine). There's something for everyone since it draws from several traditions and it's useful to try out several different practices. Daniel has so much to share - knowledge, perspective, humor, and kindness - and it's also a great way to connect with some fellow travelers. Highly recommended!

After nearly 25 years of a very time demanding work life, Ive decided to give myself some self healing and allow myself to direct the next chapter in this life. Prior to MFTJ I have had little to no success in meditation. Daniel and Sky have built a wonderful curriculum with support, guidance and links to what seems a lifetime of resources. Due to guided group meditation I have now seen positive results and have been given resources to go as far as I’m willing to take it. I now find myself using meditation practices in each day. Whether it’s just taking a moment to just breathe or giving myself an hour. Although its not a religious journey I will say this, Ive revisited the Bhagavad-Gita and am thankful for this as well. What I’ve received from this class I’m using in some way daily, grateful to have found this opportunity.

When I was beginning my sacred medicine journey, this class helped me connect yogic principles to the medicine journey space. It brought some clarity on how I can use yoga and meditation into medicine journey preparation, facilitation and integration. Thank you Daniel🙏

I’m a middle-aged mom of 4. I’ve spent the last 4.5 years working with plant medicine and trying to learn to meditate. Coming out of religion, it’s been for me a kind of stumbling in the dark. Meditation for the Journey was like being given a flashlight to help illuminate the way. Daniel’s easy, laid-back teaching style, his sense of humor, and his vast wealth of knowledge and wisdom have helped me finally begin in earnest to develop a meditation practice. I also really enjoyed hearing from others in the course how things were working for them. Daniel’s hands-on approach to teaching made different techniques really accessible. I am looking forward to returning often to the lectures and materials. There are so many resources Daniel has compiled to help. Meditation for the Journey is a wonderful course! Thank you, Daniel!

As I follow the path of psychedelic medicine work it became clear that I needed to begin meditating in order to have greater clarity and peace. I wasn't sure where or how to start, I knew I needed direction and information, this course gave me both of those things. As I build a career in psychedelics (I am in the current Integration Coach Training program with Mt. Tam) this foundational understanding of meditation practice is grounding me and guiding me. Daniel provided a wealth of resources for us to build our knowledge on (books, articles, videos) as well as easy to follow weekly practice guidelines in many styles of meditation (which I didn't even know there were so many!). This class isn't just for beginners, many of my classmates are long-time meditators who came to hone their practice.

I am currently participating in a 6-week course with TAM Integration, and my experience has been nothing short of transformative. Last night, during one of our sessions, Daniel, led a powerful exercise of visualization. The experience left me feeling overwhelmed with gratitude and hope for my healing journey. Daniel's guidance, compassion, and deep understanding of the healing process create a safe and nurturing environment for growth and self-discovery. His dedication to each participant's well-being is evident in every session. The supportive community he fosters has been instrumental in my journey, providing a sense of belonging and shared purpose. I am incredibly grateful for this experience and highly recommend TAM Integration to anyone seeking profound personal growth and healing. Daniel's expertise and the course's structure offer invaluable tools and insights that will undoubtedly benefit anyone on their path to self-discovery and transformation. Thank you, Daniel, and the TAM Integration community, for all of your support and kindness. <3

Before joining MotJ, I was a bit stuck in my meditation practices. Daniel's training opened new and unexpected paths for me, as a psychedelic journey would have. Now, I just have to explore them 😊

I'm a 71 year old retired teacher (middle school) and working as a death doula. This class had deepened and broadened my practice and I've learned some new techniques. I loved being among so many like-minded souls. I was very surprised by how useful this class is for me. The reading list is fabulous and the books will be useful far beyond the class.

Daniel has the breadth, depth, experience and authority to be teaching “Sitting for Psychonauts”. He interlaces solid information, practice and fun into a course that provides real benefits to the earnest psychonauts.

I am a sixty seven year old lawyer with forty years experience. I defend citizens who have been accused by the government of committing crimes. I am also the veteran of fifty three years of psychedelic use beginning in 1970. I am also a long term meditator. Recently I participated in Tam Integration’s program for meditators who do trip or have done so. The course was fabulously beneficial and I heartily recommend it. I also enjoy the support community of graduates of the program that Tam has running on the Signal app. I believe that anyone who participates in this group will find it enjoyable and worthwhile.

I am a psychedelic mentor and integration coach, and I enrolled in MFTJ to learn new-to-me meditation techniques and yogic principles that will support both my own integration as well as the work I am doing with clients. Despite not being able to attend most of the classes live, I felt connected to the cohort through a potent co-created field of awareness and openness. I particularly enjoyed the meditations with Dan and Sky, and found the opportunity to practice live with the group twice/week to be helpful accountability and scaffolding for my own practice. I loved learning about dharma principles/sutras/practices/archetypes that weren't already familiar to me, and some of the basics of Ayurveda. Dan is a great teacher who keeps the energy fun and buoyant, not overly serious. I think this course is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their mindfulness practice in context of psychedelic exploration and integration.
