Altered States Experience conducts consciousness exploration workshops in partnership with the Centre for Conscious Leadership at University of Newcastle. The organization's curriculum integrates neuroscience research with experiential learning methods including breathwork, meditation, and sound therapy. Their full-day and evening programs focus on the intersection of scientific frameworks and contemplative practices for investigating human consciousness. Program facilitators, including neuroscientist Dr. David Rosen, guide participants through structured sessions using crystal singing bowls, gongs, and conscious connected breathing techniques. The workshops incorporate vagus nerve stimulation protocols and evidence-based meditation practices developed through institutional research. Sessions are structured to accommodate both novice and experienced practitioners exploring consciousness states. The organization's institutional partnerships inform their methodology combining clinical psychology, neuroscience, and traditional contemplative approaches. Their programming serves leadership development and professional growth objectives while maintaining academic connections through the Centre for Conscious Leadership. The curriculum emphasizes practical applications of consciousness research in organizational and personal development contexts.
