The Pearl Protocol
Experience the Pearl Protocol
At various times throughout the year, Dr Rosalind Watts will host this free, live workshop that leads an online group through two guided imagery journeys. The journeys will be undertaken one after the other, with the Pearl Dive First, and Planting a Pearl as a Seed second, with small sharing circles after each.
The Pearl Dive has 6 stages:
1. Let Go
2. Sense
3. Feel
4. Bigger Self
5. Meaning
6. Intention.
Planting a Pearl as a Seed is about nurturing and growing the insights gained in the Pearl Dive so that they can take root, grow and turn into something that guides our everyday lives.
Once you register, we’ll follow up with an email with further instructions to help you get the most out of your experience.
Accessing the Pearl Protocol Resources
The Pearl Protocol was created by Dr Rosalind Watts and used as a tool for preparing participants for psychedelic therapy sessions in the Psilocybin for Depression trials at Imperial College, London. You can find more information about the trials in the ACE Model Manual. Since that time, Rosalind has created an audio version of the Pearl Dive guided imagery journey. This tool for preparing for psychedelic therapy has been created with bespoke music by Finn Petcher. She has also created another guided imagery journey, Planting the Pearl as a Seed, which is a tool for integrating insights from psychedelic therapy, also with music by Finn Petcher. These two audio journeys are now available to the general public for free, which you can request by filling in this form.
These audio journeys are not exclusively designed for use alongside psychedelic therapy. They can be used to help anyone dive down from our everyday busy lives to listen to the wisdom of the heart. We hope you enjoy them.
Dr Watts and her collaborators do not endorse the use of illegal substances. Illegal substances do not form part of the Pearl Protocol.
Use of this resource is at your own risk. Always seek the guidance of your doctor or a qualified mental health professional with any questions you may have regarding your mental health or a medical condition in advance of taking part in the Pearl Protocol.
Guided imagery is contraindicated for some. Individuals with a history of psychosis or any other mental illness that prevents them from differentiating reality from imagination should abstain from using the Pearl Protocol.
