About This Event: Expansion Seminar - Consciousness Frameworks & the Map Within
The Flying Sage and the Psychedelic Association of Canada are honoured to present the next installment of our Expansion Seminar series—an evening dedicated to big ideas, embodied wisdom, and inner exploration.
This May, we’re diving into the many maps of consciousness that can help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. From ancient systems to modern interpretations, we’ll explore how different frameworks can offer profound insight and direction for our personal and collective evolution.
Together we’ll explore:
What tools and systems can help us better understand our patterns, gifts, and purpose?
How can the Enneagram, Human Design, and Gene Keys support us on the path of self-inquiry?
What are the limitations of these systems—and where do they invite deeper embodiment?
How can these frameworks be used to support integration after peak experiences or medicine journeys?
Our featured speakers will share their personal connection to these systems, how they apply them in their work, and the role these tools can play in spiritual growth, integration, and human potential:
✨ Jean-Pierre LeBlanc – Founder of Saje Wellness, one of Canada’s most iconic Wellness brands, and The Alchemy Network and expert in the Enneagram
✨ Angela Leong – Founder of An Elegant Mind
✨ Nati Chen – Founder of Growth Compass and guide on how to use Human Design to live with greater clarity and authenticity
✨ Kathie Scott – Founder of Quantum Life and mentor in the transformative teachings of the Gene Keys
This panel is sponsored by An Elegant Mind and the Psychedelic Association of Canada.
Whether you’re brand new to these frameworks or have been exploring them for years, this is a chance to connect with others, ask questions, and expand your understanding in a grounded, community setting.
