Real freedom—the ability to go as far as you want, as deep as you want, regardless of circumstance—is not achieved through release alone, but through disciplined effort over time. This is as true in the psychedelic space as anywhere else.
"Work to Know Thyself"
I’m Sean Manseau, CSCS, author of Where Some Holy Spectacle Lies and the originator of Entheogenic Fitness Training, an approach to altered-state work grounded in disciplined practice, executive function, and responsibility under psychic load. This work is not organized around belief, identity, or comfort. It is organized around trainable capacities and direct encounter.
For the most complete technical articulation of the method, start with Entheogenic Fitness Training.
For the narrative account of how this approach was developed and battle-tested, start with Where Some Holy Spectacle Lies.
