“The psychedelic experience is very good at showing you a destination you can arrive at — a state of being that is actually possible. What’s often not highlighted is that the path after that can be extremely difficult. To be held in something that can guide you through it is invaluable. ” — Eric Brown Martijn Schirp, founder of Apotheosis and co-founder of HighExistence and Synthesis , joins us to talk about his latest offering: Upāyosis: A Path Between Worlds . At the heart of this conversation is a question that is central to our work here at Apotheosis: How can we use psychedelics skilfully, in a way that leads to genuine, long-lasting transformation, and ultimately contributes to a better world? There are many ways to answer this question, and those answers continue to evolve. Today, we explore one of the most grounded and comprehensive responses we’ve encountered yet. Upāyosis is a year-long contemplative journey that brings together the deep, ancient wisdom tradition of Buddhism with the intentional, ethical use of psychedelics - not for peak experiences, but for integration, embodiment, and service. Martijn has spent years immersed in Buddhist practice and psychedelic work, and has recently gone through profound personal initiations of his own. When he brings a new program into the world, we pay attention. If you’re interested in psychedelics and meditation, but have never been able to connect the two and go deep enough to yield real results, this one is for you. Learn more about Upāyosis: A Path Between Worlds: 👉 In This Episode: Why insight without practice doesn’t change your life What long-term integration really requires How meditation and psychedelics strengthen each other when practiced together Martijn's recent brush with death and the effect that it had on him Real transformation happens in community, not in isolation Opening to the suffering of the world without shutting down or burning out Becoming a diplomat of Gaia: why true service begins when it stops being about you
