1. What exactly is involved in the Level Up Microdosing Course?
This course consists of the following:

• Live Calls: We will meet weekly for approximately two hours for 10 weeks. During this time we will connect and share as well as cover content. All calls will be recorded and are not mandatory. The content consists of discussions on plant medicine and shamanism, breathwork, meditations, journeys, creativity and journaling prompts, and much more.

• Course Materials: We will provide resources such as info packs to share information and ideas as well as a micro-dosing journal to track your holistic health over the 10-week journey.

• Drive Resources: We maintain an ever growing drive folder of meditations, journeys, lectures, and songs that you will have access to indefinitely. This resource will continue to grow, so check back often.

• Spiritual Community: One of the most valuable takeaways from this course is the community (sangha) that forms. When we proclaim our intentions before our sangha, we invite our sangha to hold us accountable.

2. What are the benefits of microdosing?
The following is not an exhaustive list of benefits. You are likely to discover life improvements beyond what is listed. Here are just a few of the potential benefits of microdosing:

1. Increased creativity: Many people report that microdosing with psychedelic substances leads to increased creativity and a greater ability to think outside the box.

2. Improved mood: Microdosing may help to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Some research suggests that microdosing with psilocybin may be as effective as traditional antidepressants, with fewer side effects.

3. Enhanced focus: Microdosing may improve concentration, focus, and productivity. It may also help to reduce symptoms of ADHD.

4. Increased empathy and sociability: Microdosing may improve social interactions, increase empathy, and promote a greater sense of connectedness to others.

5. Spiritual exploration: Microdosing may be a tool for exploring spirituality and a greater sense of meaning in life. It may also lead to a greater appreciation for nature and a deeper connection to the world around us.

6. Habit Breaking, Habit Forming: The medicine of this course is only partially about the plants. The other part, that can bring significant benefits to our life is that we treat this course as a disruption. By stepping back and reflecting on our habits, it gives us an opportunity to break habits which no longer serve us and form new ones that are more aligned with our goals.

3. What are the potential risks or side effects of microdosing? Are there any contraindicated drugs?
Since the dosage with which we will be working is so small, there is very little risk of side effects. However, there is a small chance that one may experience an increase in anxiety, paranoia, or a sense of disorientation. Also, there are potential negative interactions with medications. For this reason, all participants will submit a health form so we can assess whether microdosing is an appropriate practice at this time.

4. Can I participate in this course while going to work? Can I work with psychedelics while driving?
Yes! With microdosing the psychoactive effects of the medicine are not perceived on a “normal” level. The intention of microdosing is two fold. First, it’s to develop a relationship with a plant. And second, it is to make subtle, energetic shifts in our field. Neither of these effects will impact our ability to go about our day to day life.

5. What kind of emotional support is there?
During the course challenging emotions, fears or insecurities may arise. This is perfectly normal and part of any cleansing process. And even if this isn’t the case, you still may want to share your process with someone. In Level Up, we offer a few different forms of support…

1. During our weekly calls, we will have a section dedicated to connections. This is a great opportunity to share with someone else who may be experiencing something similar.

2. All participants of Level Up will be in a group WhatsApp thread. This is another great way to connect and share about your process and receive feedback and support.

3. All three facilitators will offer discounted coaching sessions ($100/hr) for the duration of the course and the two weeks following Level Up. This is a great opportunity for one on one support during your microdosing journey. If you’re interest in booking a call VISIT HERE

6. How do I best prepare?
There’s no need to prepare, as the course itself is a reflection on our habits and an opportunity to make shifts. With that said, it’s never too early to start making a change. If you would like to get a jump on the course, then perhaps these two journal prompts might help. Take some time with the following two journal prompts:

“My life is ideal when…”
"Steps that will move me closer to my ideal are..."

Think, as much as possible, from a holistic perspective, considering your diet, exercise, meditations, relationships, work life, etc.. And, again, we will cover this in the course. We’re merely giving some tips in case you want to get started early. And, most importantly, the journey is meant to be enjoyed. So, have fun.

7. How many people are there in the course?

While we don’t have a maximum number of participants, we expect the number of participants to be in the range of 25-40 people. The format of the course is such that the number of students won’t impact anyone’s experience. At the beginning of each call will divide the group into sharing

8. What continuing support is available after the journey concludes?
After the journey concludes, we’ll have a follow up call about 3 months later to share our experiences. Also, you will have met and shared with a community that you can continue to stay in contact with. Part of the journey includes an accountability buddy and this is someone with whom you may be able to continue sharing. There will also be an option for continued coaching with Ananda, Emily or Coby at a special community rate. :)

9. How much time does this require from me?
You are welcome to put as much or as little time as you’d like as this course is for you. Make it fit your lifestyle. If it’s feeling like too much, do less. We will meet as a group once a week for 10 weeks. And, all the content portions from the calls will be recorded and can be watched whenever you feel called. We will also be giving activities, journal prompts, mediations, journeys and other activities to do between calls, but nothing is required.


10. How will we source our medicine?
While sourcing medicine used to be difficult, it’s becoming easier and easier to find. The reason behind this shift is that scientific studies are overwhelmingly finding that psychedelic plants are indeed medicine and lead to very positive health and wellbeing outcomes. We have a list of suppliers whom we trust. In addition, we will be able to personally supply medicine for those interested in working with Ayahuasca, as we grow our own vine and can ship extractions to those interested.


11. Is micro-dosing legal?
When choosing to work with psychedelics, be aware of the legal risks. This will vary from country to country. In the US, psychedelics are considered a schedule 1 drug which means they are illegal to buy and consume. However, some states and counties are decriminalizing psychedelic medicines. Since it is important that you trust the source of your medicines, we will take time on our initial preparation call to cover this topic and ensure that you have a safe source. Finally, for those who are interested, we will be providing Ayahuaca vine extract. Since we will not be incorporating the DMT (Psycoactive) component to the brew, this will be completely legal.


12. How do I determine the right dosage?
We will be able to guide you on the dosage of the plant you select. As a general guide, a microdose is 1/10th of the dose of a full psychedelic journey. And, there’s no problem starting smaller as the effects will be mostly energetic in nature.

13. Are there any dietary considerations for microdosing?
This is your choice and it will be helpful for your process to focus on eating fresh whole foods and minimizing processed sugar, caffeine and any other substances that feel habitual. We will be giving you different optional cleansing practices that you can try. This is a great opportunity to change any habits not serving while in a container of support together.

14. Will the event be recorded?

There are two portions of our Zoom calls. The first part is process oriented and mostly done in breakout rooms. This section will not be recorded. The second part of our call is content oriented and will be recorded and kept in a drive folder.

15. What if my question isn’t listed here?

If you have a question that isn't listed, please let us know so we can add it to the list :)

Thank you!
