The Good Friday Experience

The "Good Friday Experiment" was conducted back in 1962.  Walter N. Pahnke, a graduate student in theology at Harvard Divinity School, designed the experiment under the supervision of Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and the Harvard Psilocybin Project. The idea was to investigate if a mystical experience could reliably be induced in "spiritually predisposed subjects" (Graduate students in divinity school) .  

In the original experiment half of the subjects received Psilocybin containing mushrooms before attenting a Good Friday church service and  almost all of the members of the experimental group reported experiencing profound religious experiences.  While we will NOT be handing out psilocybin mushrooms for this event **, we will be taking you through a series of Kundalini Kriyas and droping you in to a Sound Meditation session that is designed to shift your experience towards the Mystical.  And just for fun, we will have a version of the "Mystical Experience Questionnaire" available for you after the session if you'd like to fill it out and compare results with others.  

**(Please be responsible and respectful if you are choosing to enhance/shift your own conscious state prior to arrival.  You are in control of your own wellbeing.) 

We intend for this session to go deep and expect that many of you will take some time to connect immediatly afterwards.  Modus Locus Expansion is an incredible gathering space that exists at the nexus point of art, culture and community.  You'll feel the vibe as soon as you enter the space.  It's the perfect location and will provide us with the opportunity to re-orient and socialize as we come back to reality.  So give yourself permission to feel deeply relaxed, connected and grounded as you explore the flow of consciousness. 

We begin the practice together waking up the body and the nervous system through movement and breath .  As the relaxing euphoria sets in we will begin clearing energy in the body with vocal toning.  From this connected place you can explore allowing your voice to be felt and heard. Then we drop into a fully immersive sound meditation experience.  You will be surrounded by the rich vibrations of life resonating and flowing through you.  

What to Bring: yoga mat, blankets, pillows, eye mask, water bottle.   Whatever you need to feel comfortable laying down for an hour. 

Feel free to bring a snack for after the ceremony and give yourself permission to ease into the evening. 

Thomasina and Bob Fisk are mind body facilitators with backgrounds in personal development, meditation, yoga, breathwork, music and mental health/wellness. They have been called to the power of sound through first hand experience and training, both with the instruments and philosophies of this timeless wellness modality.

We look forward to sitting with you and benefiting from the medicine you carry!
