A researcher with the Alef Trust/Liverpool John Moores University is seeking participants in a study on transformative life experiences, which are defined as “one which has strong meaning for you, and has resulted in significant change in your beliefs, values, lifestyle, and/or worldview.” Examples of transformative life experiences could include “the birth of a baby, or the loss of a loved one, sensing divinity while enjoying a sunset, a paranormal encounter, a spiritual awakening, or perhaps a psychedelic exploration into altered states of consciousness.” The researcher, Elizabeth Halliday, is a Master’s student in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology with the Alef Trust/Liverpool John Moores University and a volunteer with the Spiritual Crisis Network UK.
The survey involves answering questions about practices you did or did not use to integrate your transformative life experience, and is expected to take about 20-25 minutes.
You can participate or learn more here. If you have questions about this project, please contact Elizabeth Halliday at e.c.halliday@2021.ljmu.ac.uk or Francesca Hector at francesca.hector@aleftrust.org.
