“I am beyond impressed and grateful. What you are doing will alter the way spirituality transformative experiences are treated in psychiatric services and the mainstream forever. It will empower experiencers to go forward using their voices to continue to impact change. I am certain it will be shown to psychiatrists, psychologists, and psych nurses in their training in the future. Especially given the fact that we are seeing a growing number of people presenting with altered and extreme states of consciousness. This is very much a hot topic with global interest.”  Jen Macdonald.
