At a time when most of humanity is struggling to wrap their brains around just exactly what psychedelics do and how they can help us, your well told story about the ineffable might just make a world of impact.

The power of a well told story can move mountains, but the art of storytelling is a craft unto itself. This three hour course is designed to help you distill your experiences into a succinct and compelling 5-10 minute long story that will translate the powerful wisdom you have learned into something future clients, investors, and even skeptics can appreciate and learn from.
