Surgery and Ceremony are inherently similar processes. The ritualistic nature of surgery dates back to to ancient times, but over the years with the industrialization of medicine the awareness of the ritual has faded. This webinar will focus on Surgery as Ceremony ™: A methodology focused on guiding patients through a conscious experience during surgery to create powerful shifts in mindset and body.

When the process of surgery is treated as a ceremony, patients are given the opportunity to treat this rare experience with reverence and witness the harmonious interplay between the physical and soul bodies. Surgery as Ceremony involves a multidisciplinary team of experts  to support the patient. It includes the surgeon, a lymphatic massage practitioner, and psychotherapist to provide comprehensive treatment of the mind, body and soul. Together they collaborate on a plan outlining the arc of the transformational journey staring with preparation, the procedure, and extending into aftercare for an optimal healing experience.

When performed with an intention of support and transformation, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery becomes an opportunity to enhance a person’s physical body so that they may more confidently express the highest version of their soul body. Like ceremony, surgery becomes a ritual of transformation through which an individual meets a new version of self.

Join Clearmind Medicine CEO, Adi Zuloff-Shani, and MAPS Founder and Psychedelic Sector pioneer, Rick Doblin, as they discuss Traditional vs. Novel Psychedelics, and other issues related to the growing and changing International Psychedelic space. Classic psychedelics, which include LSD, mescaline and psilocybin, have been used by humans for millennia. There is a large and growing body of scientific knowledge surrounding these substances and their effects. Recently, scientific advances have led to the creation of new medicines referred to as Novel Psychedelics, similar in pharmacology to classic psychedelics. Psychedelic science brings together the diverse fields of medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical science, neuroscience, and psychological medicine in a therapeutically promising – not to mention fascinating – area of research. The current psychedelic renaissance is opening the doors to the benefits of both the traditional and novel, as old traditions are being renewed and new molecules are being identified.
