General Information
OUR PHILOSOPHY AND VISION
The ALPS Foundation is guided by its core values: Openness, Loving-Kindness, Honesty, Responsibility, and Rationality. These central principles fuel the Summer School's aim to support both academic and personal growth.
At the ALPS Summer School, we strive to offer—and in the following years refine—a sustainable, condensed form of psychedelic education and self-development that provides lasting benefits for participants. To achieve this, we incorporate mindfulness-based and self-knowledge practices alongside comprehensive theoretical study.
Complementing this engaging program are the venue’s natural surroundings and vibrant social events, creating an excellent opportunity to explore psychedelic studies from multiple perspectives.
We invite you to contribute to the Summer School, for example, by bringing your favourite musical instrument or a research poster. Please indicate this at the end of the application form when applying.
