Phase 4: Aftercare

‘Our greatest ability as humans is not to change the world; but to change ourselves.”  Mahatma Gandhi

After you have completed your last journey, we will send you the same assessment you completed before starting your journey, to compare your progress after our work together. Then we schedule our Aftercare Session in which we review and consolidate your transformational journey.  In the Aftercare session we:
• review post-treatment results and compare to pre-treatment results
• review and summarize the six weeks of self care best practices you have discovered about yourself
• help you consolidate your learnings into your self curated Maintenance Plan for the future
• discuss next steps for your ongoing personal growth and goals
 • optional written report 

If you’re not quite ready for KAP, then you might want to consider Journey’s Without Medicine. Human beings have been accessing Expanded States of Consciousness for millennia. Eastern paths such as a meditation, yoga,  tai chi or martial arts practices can get you there, over a long period of time.  Western paths such as hypnosis and self-hypnosis also offer  

our Transformational Self Care Programme, germain to our KAP protocol.
