Live Online Webinar
After the Afterglow
How your genetics shape the way you integrate a psychedelic experience
Wednesday, November 18
4:00pm Pacific / 7:00pm Eastern · Free on Zoom
With Joel Brierre and Cory Firth of Tandava Retreats
Explore the connection between 5-MeO-DMT, lifestyle and genetics
Why do two people come back from a 5-MeO-DMT experience in such different ways, and what helps the meaning of that experience carry into daily life?
Every experience needs a container. At Tandava, we put great care into the space, preparation and support around each session. But the experience continues long after the session ends, and the daily life people return to becomes the container for their integration. How someone sleeps, eats, moves and handles stress all play a part in what they carry forward.
That container looks different for everyone. Our bodies have their own tendencies, shaped in part by our genetics, that influence how we rest, recover, respond to stress and find our energy. Understanding those tendencies can help people build a daily life that supports the experience instead of working against it.
Join Tandava Retreats for a live educational webinar with Joel Brierre, founder and CEO of Tandava Retreats, and Cory Firth, lead practitioner for our new Origins Genetic Lifestyle Design program at Tandava.
Drawing on more than 1,000 5-MeO-DMT experiences guided at Tandava, Joel will share what we’ve observed about the role lifestyle plays before and after a session. Cory will explore lifestyle genomics in plain language: what your genes can tell you about how you’re built, and how that knowledge can help you decide where to put your effort.
The Session
What We’ll Explore
- 01
What 1,000+ Experiences Have Taught Us

The Container After the Ceremony
Why daily life becomes the setting for integration, and what makes that setting supportive.

Different Bodies, Different Needs
How genetic tendencies influence sleep, stress, energy, nutrition and recovery, and why the same advice doesn’t work for everyone.
- 04
Genetics Without the Jargon
What lifestyle genomics can and can’t tell you, explained clearly and without reducing the experience to biology.

A look at a real, anonymized genetic profile, showing how genetic insight turns into practical habits that fit the person.
