The project explores how transformative experiences in non-ordinary states of consciousness can influence well-being, beliefs, and worldview.
Transformative experiences arise during non-ordinary states of consciousness. These experiences are not only significant but also have the potential to induce profound changes in well-being, beliefs, worldview, and fundamental values.
The research aims to understand the transformative power of psychedelic experiences and anaesthesia-induced dream states.
