Your inner world is what drives your relationship to your outward experiences. At a time when we’re increasingly disconnected from our environment, we can turn to personal reflection practices that help us connect more deeply with the natural world that surrounds us.
For this reflection journey, Amánda Efthimiou offers a series of thought-provoking questions to explore personal transformation through your inner & outer landscapes.
Amánda is a psychedelic wellness advocate, integration educator, facilitator, and writer. She founded INTEGRA, which draws from nature and indigenous wisdom traditions in order to help people find meaning and healing from their experiences with non-ordinary states of consciousness. She has an MSc in Neuroscience focused on the effects of plant-based medicines combined with psychotherapy.
