Intensive Learning Experiences
Are you interested in exploring the world of psychoactive botanicals and the ancient wisdom of shamanic magick? Look no further! These intensive learning experiences in Joshua Tree offer a unique opportunity to dive deep into the spiritual and medicinal uses of psychoactive plants, as well as the powerful practices of Shamanic Magick.
Hello beautiful people,
My name is Kenny Berman. I have been seriously involved in shamanic studies since 1997. I moved to Joshua Tree in 2000 at which time I began writing and teaching on the subjects of psychoactive/sacred visionary plants and psychedelic shamanic ritual methodologies. Between 2001 and 2009 I taught a series of classes on sacred plants and had facilitated a three day event in 2003 called An Entheo-Educational-Experience. After authoring a series of articles for a Palm Springs publication (Desert Post Weekly) on psychoactive plants (2009-2010) I decided to motivate myself to write books. In 2015 I published a small book on the Sacred Datura inoxia, a visionary/medicinal plant that grows prolifically in the Mojave Desert. In 2020 I published a book on psychedelic shamanic methods entitled: Psychedelic Shamanic Magick – A Guide to the Ritual Application of Sacred Visionary Plants.
It is my passionate objective at this stage to facilitate classes and intensives on both psychoactive botanicals and psychedelic shamanic methodologies.
I would like to open up this opportunity of learning to any individual, couples or groups. I do not have a set schedule of events. Any classes or intensives will need to be scheduled by the students. Please call (415 686 2805) or contact me for availability of dates. Pricing is based on the number of people attending any one class or intensive. I do not facilitate classes or intensives for groups larger than twenty people. I am only available for lecture to groups of 20 or more.
Classes on psychoactive/visionary plants:
These classes are designed to provide the student with a general understanding of each plant’s chemistry, botany and history. I will also share knowledge of their traditional applications, preparation procedures and some contemporary methodologies.
For most of the plants listed I also offer an after class experience with the plant. I DO NOT offer any experience with any illegal plant or with Salvia divinorum. Sorry!
Note: Plant experiences are an additional cost to the price of the classes. A waiver must also be signed for any experience requested.
