      Work with clients in non-ordinary states of consciousness offers tremendous potential for healing and for navigation of a slippery slope. This is an understanding that is essential to the practice of many healing arts. Sitting across from one another in “regular conversational consciousness” takes us only so far along the healing path. To truly stimulate deep healing, and deeper access to “subconscious” or even “unconscious” material, as well as the “collective unconscious,” non-ordinary states are required. They create a powerful pathway to access deeper healing awareness.
        Taylor was a senior trainer of Holotropic Breathwork. She accumulated decades of experience facilitating healing through breathwork alongside master teachers Christina and Stanislav Grof. Her book The Ethics of Caring dives deep into the subtitle of her work “Honoring the Web of Life in Our Professional Healing Relationships.” In the book, she masterfully leads us through an exploration of the vulnerabilities of both practitioners and clients, especially those who work within “non-ordinary” states of consciousness.
      Yet, this presents the healing artist with a particularly slippery slope when it comes to ethical, aligned behavior in working with clients while inducing non-ordinary states. These states present deep and specific vulnerabilities for both the client and the practitioner.

To guide one through the process of discovering these vulnerabilities, Taylor follows fears and longings as they relate to a Chakra-based functional model to explore a full range of life concerns. As a 35 year clinical healing artist, Sweigart brings a wealth of case study experience to the ethical questions of working with the induction of non-ordinary states of consciousness. He artfully interweaves the Wei Mai Vessels and the Cycles of Aging and Development into the Chakra sequence to deepen therapeutic understanding. The course helps you to develop an exquisite, sophisticated “internal locus of control” for the choices and behaviors in your healing practice, life and relationships.

In this journey, Matthew takes participants in and through the powerful teachings and invitations presented by Kylea Taylor, in her master work, The Ethics of Caring, Honoring the Web of Life in our Healing Relationships.  With his 35 years of healing arts experience, 15 years in men’s groups and an uncanny knack for drawing out insight from written word, Matthew helps students dive deep and develop a rock solid “internal locus of control” when working with clients in non-ordinary states of consciousness.
