Framework
The Three-Part Container
Althea's structural answer to set and setting, and the thing that separates this from doing it with your buddies.
How it works
- 1Preparation: weeks before, multiple meetings with the facilitator to clarify what you're actually bringing to the table.
- 2Administration: the facilitator sits with you, keeping you working the material rather than escaping into music, lights, or scenery.
- 3Integration: begins immediately on re-entry and continues for months or years. Althea offers ongoing group integration free, indefinitely.
- 4Regulatory stack underneath all three: licensed facilitator, state-licensed training program, lab-tested medicine, licensed center.
