A FREE VIDEO EVENT

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

Explore the latest in psychedelic mushroom science with a globally acclaimed herbal clinician, delving into key findings on the legalities and science of working with psilocybin mushrooms — specifically through the power of microdosing — for those curious about how this approach can support their healing journey.

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

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

If you’ve ever wondered why microdosing with psychedelics like psilocybin has gained immense popularity as a potential solution for various mental health issues — from PTSD to depression to anxiety — and you’re interested in learning more about the evolving attitudes and laws surrounding these substances, join us to explore the emerging opportunities and breakthroughs in this field.

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

A June 2023 article from CNN states:

Small clinical trials 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

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.

Highly respected clinical herbalist and scientist Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc, shares in this hour-long workshop to illuminate the opportunities and promise of psilocybin mushrooms.

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. This includes microdosing for benefits that include increased creativity, enhanced mood, improved focus, reduced anxiety/stress, increased motivation, improved empathy, and a deeper sense of self-awareness.

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

  • 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
  • Begin cultivating a new attitude toward psychedelics, as you more deeply understand their application — particularly in the realm of microdosing, which offers numerous benefits for emotional and physical wellness
  • Explore a brief history of psilocybin mushrooms — discovering their origins, tracing their rise in popularity, understanding the reasons behind their prohibition, and gaining insights into the current landscape surrounding their use
  • Recognize the immense value of trustworthy facilitators and mentors who can provide guidance and support on your microdosing path, ensuring safety and maximizing the potential benefits of your experience
  • Gain practical knowledge and insights on how to effectively prepare yourself for the transformative journey ahead — equipping yourself with essential tools, strategies, and considerations to enhance your microdosing experience

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. — Kelly Clonts, manager at Peachtree Natural Foods, Atlanta, Georgia

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 Dr. 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
