Non Ordinary States
with DAVE SCHOOF
Advancements in the study of neuroplasticity help us understand the often remarkable and long-lasting changes in the lives of those who apply the insights gained from psychedelic journeys. These transformations are often profound, helping people foster personal development, navigate uncertainty, and enrich their roles, including as leaders in ways that might have once seemed impossible.
Group explorations, breathwork, plant medicines, and other psychoactive compounds are modalities that facilitate these states. This is a vast and continually evolving landscape with as much complexity as there are potential ways to work within it.
How I Work with
Non Ordinary States
Psychedelics are some of the most transformative tools I work with. I am trained to support and guide individuals and groups through a range of experiences, focusing on client needs and prioritizing safety.
Individuals have the opportunity to focus entirely on their own exploration, which has a tremendous impact on their development. In addition, facilitated group sessions using plant medicine and other psychoactive modalities can be especially effective in both the personal and interpersonal dimensions, leveraging and amplifying the benefits from the collective consciousness. I am seeing tremendous implications for intact teams and groups in this work.

Exploring the non ordinary with me is for those who are seeking:
⏶ Deeper Self-Awareness and clarity about their purpose
⏶ Wisdom and Insight in specific areas of life
⏶ Greater Effectiveness in how they express themselves
⏶ Enhanced Creativity and Trust in Intuitive Capacities
These group sessions are always conducted in safe, legal, and supportive environments, and I have a list of trusted locations across the US, Europe, and Central and South America where this work can be done responsibly.
My Approach and Expertise
The work I offer is grounded in both formal training and real-world experience.
Here’s how I support individuals and groups in navigating their journeys:
Preparation and Intention Setting: Creating a safe, intentional, and impactful experience is key. This begins with setting clear intentions (“set”) and ensuring the right environment (“setting”) to help you get the most out of the experience.
Logistics and Safety: I help you choose the right medicine and the ideal location and manage all the logistics to ensure you feel supported and safe throughout the process.
Integration Coaching: After the experience, I provide ongoing coaching to help you integrate the insights and discoveries you’ve made, ensuring they have a lasting, positive impact on your life. Integration following a non ordinary experience is crucial for lasting transformation. This is when your brain is most receptive to change—when neuroplasticity is at its peak—and a key time to put new insights into action.
Microdosing Protocols: I design personalized microdosing protocols to help enhance your creativity, intuition, empathy, and overall performance. This subtle yet powerful approach allows you to improve your daily life without overwhelming your system.
A Personalized, Supportive Journey
This is deeply personal work, and it’s not for everyone. I take this work very seriously because I believe in its immense potential, and I want you to feel fully informed and comfortable every step of the way.
If this resonates with you, I’d be happy to schedule a call to explore whether this type of experience is right for you. I’m here to answer any questions, address any concerns, and support you in designing a tailored experience that fits your needs.
Legal Considerations
All of the work I do in this space is entirely legal. I do not supply any medicines myself, and I strongly encourage you to follow all relevant legal guidelines in your location. I can provide detailed information about the many locations where these opportunities are provided legally and safely.
Please note that a thorough intake is part of my process, and you may be asked to consult with your doctor before participating.
For several years, I've been exploring deeper states and expanded states of consciousness. I've discovered exciting applications of these capacities and processes to leadership development, personal transformation, and performance optimization.
Most importantly, I see and experience its profound enhancement of life, meaning, and connection. Working with psychoactive substances is one path in this exploration.
Exploring non ordinary states of consciousness is an expanding field where discoveries in therapeutic practices, peak performance, and personal growth converge. People increasingly turn to these altered states to deepen their connection with themselves, clarify their purpose, and better understand their place in the world.
