A FREE VIDEO EVENT

With Internationally Renowned Herbalist, Mycologist, Clinician & Research Scientist
Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc

Join us for an eye-opening exploration of the latest psychedelic mushroom science with a world-renowned herbal clinician, who will illuminate how psilocybin mushrooms can be used for emotional wellness and spiritual sustenance.

Have you been hearing the buzz around the healing properties of psilocybin — and want to better understand the science of how it works?

An exciting psychedelic renaissance has been gaining traction, with virtually every major media outlet reporting on new science, new startups, and new applications for these ancient healing practices.

The fear-driven reaction to psychedelics that led to misguided attitudes and laws for more than 60 years is starting to ease. Consequently, new avenues have opened up for addressing major mental health issues, from PTSD to depression to anxiety.

This new wave of interest in various psychoactive compounds is firmly grounded in solid scientific research and sober caution about ensuring safety, so that we can truly help better people’s lives.

A June 2022 article from CNN states:

Small clinical trials that have shown that one or two doses of psilocybin, given in a therapeutic setting, can make dramatic and long-lasting changes in people suffering from treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, which typically does not respond to traditional antidepressants.

Science is helping us move beyond an ineffective “war on drugs” toward a more nuanced understanding of these powerful medicines. Yes, they require a measured approach, but they have shown themselves to be effective agents of mental wellness.

Our mission at Shift is facilitating long-lasting transformation in body, mind, and spirit, especially when new science, treatments, and practices become available. We’re committed to helping you connect with the knowledge, insights, and resources necessary to improve your emotional wellness and spiritual sustenance.

Highly respected clinical herbalist, scientist, and researcher Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc, will be joining us for an hour-long workshop to illuminate the opportunities and promise of psilocybin mushrooms — including how they have become widely understood to convey cognition and memory enhancing properties as a nootropic, while also enhancing the growth and survival potential of neurons as a neurotrophic factor.

In addition to the storied “psychedelic journey” that these mushrooms can facilitate, they've been shown to untangle neural pathways and strengthen neural connections so they can operate with more efficiency and ease.

So what does this look like... this “healthy” and “safe” way to work with these sacred medicinal plants?

In this hour-long free online event, you’ll:

  • Begin cultivating a new attitude toward psychedelics, as you more deeply understand the need for psychedelics
  • Appreciate the value of reliable facilitators and mentors on this path
  • Take an important step on your own inner hero’s journey to restore emotional, psychological, and physical wellness — as well as establish a profound connection with your own higher wisdom
  • Explore a brief history of psilocybin mushrooms... where they were found, how they became popular (and then illegal), and what the current landscape looks like
  • Have a better sense of how to prepare for the journey ahead

During this free event, you’ll also hear about an opportunity to go much further in Christopher’s new 7-week live video course that’s designed to take you gently by the hand and guide you step-by-step through the entire process — from understanding the history, science, and legalities of psilocybin mushrooms to how to safely acquire and have your own experience with them.

What People Are Saying About Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc...

In the past, I never thought I’d do well with this type of program, as I prefer a classroom setting. However, once I saw [Christopher’s] presentation, I realized how in-depth and good this program would be for me. I have enjoyed each chapter and even though some is overview, I still learned more than I knew before. I have encouraged others to take this program because of the incredible instructional background and development, and how easy this is to fit into my current busy lifestyle. I am excited to progress onward through this study, and know this work will lead me to more of what I like in the herb profession. Thank you for creating this program! — Kelly Clonts, manager, Peachtree Natural Foods, Atlanta, Georgia

I absolutely love this course! I have explored many herbal distance-learning programs, and this course is by far superior. The material is presented so that it’s easily understandable with great references, making the information easy to retain. The course goes beyond theory, and presents practical information that you can begin using immediately. I am finally making my own herbal remedies that are benefitting myself, my family, and friends. I would highly recommend Mr. Hobbs’ program to anyone interested in studying the wonder of herbs! — L.M. Vellucci, martial arts instructor, Redmond, Oregon

The course has been an amazing adventure for me. There is so much information packed in a very organized way that builds from one lesson to the next. There’s an underlying theme throughout that helps one grasp concepts along the way. I especially loved the way that problems in each body system are addressed with well-defined herbal formulas that one can make. The information about the herbs themselves is invaluable, and I know I will be referring back to this course always. The course quizzes are a way to consolidate the information gained from each lesson, and at the end of each lesson one can continue with the additional projects listed, so the learning goes on! I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of herbal medicine. — Monique Portanger, registered and licensed occupational therapist

I really enjoyed the journey. Your course is very well structured and practical. Thanks to your class, I was able to get control back over my own health and the health of my family. Everyone loves the new health-and-nature vibe in the house. — Carine Namiech, Surfside, Florida
