Preparation
Whether your intention is to develop a better relationship with yourself, fire up your creativity, connect with mother nature, or something else, nearly every ethical guide or thinker in the psychedelic world is in agreement: setting an intention before a journey is imperative to maximizing your experience. It is a bit like scoping out your campsite before heading out on a road-trip. You want to have something in your mind’s eye that informs your destination.
We will work together to open up what is crucial to you and lean into trusting that you will get what is needed (at least in part), even if it’s not exactly what you expected. To this end, we will embrace where you are now and however you arrive in your journey, accepting “what is,” together.
expanded STATES
Expanded awareness can come in many forms.
Practices/rituals/ceremonies can help us get to the important and sacred work of enhancing our creativity, calming our minds, and aiding our bodies in recovering from stress.
In these states, we are often able to find a physical and mental reset, lean into new perspectives, and find new ways within our same conditions. The lessons from these experiences can arrive over time or may show up abruptly, but, inevitably, we witness the possibility of authentic change.
Having a compassionate and confident guide and a safer space to explore, can accelerate the shifts we hope for and sometimes don’t even know we needed.
Integration
This is my favorite part of the process and has so many phases that can start immediately and potentially go on for weeks and months. I believe deeply in the special few hours immediately following a journey and have built my space to accommodate that unique time. I liken it to the fontanelle… the precious and delicate soft spot on a newborn’s head. This is where healing and currents of change become tangible and coherent.
Some research has shown that the “critical period” of “neural plasticity” is opened by the use of psychedelic medicine and we can become, for a period, more capable of opening to new insights, clarity, and ideas.
preparation + Integration offerings
Prices are on a sliding scale based on support and spectrum of needs. We can discuss this in our consultation.
“EXPLORE & mORE” pack // Series of 3 to 5 Sessions in Varying Length, based on intent
Skilled support before, during, and after an altered state experience can turn what might have been an isolated moment into a life transforming event. The intentions that we set, and the work that we do prior, can promote significant personal growth and healing. Whether your intention is to simply feel better in your body or the world, build (upon) a spiritual connection, or step into unraveling deep wounds, skilled and thorough preparation and integration will profoundly amplify possible progress
“Been Here, Done That” Pack // 2 Sessions in Varying Length, based on intent
All things begin with preparation. Even if you’ve “done that”, you may not have “been here” before. Every journey is more wildly different than it is familiar and, frankly, this is what I love most about this process. That being said, I realize that not everyone needs the same level of support. If you have worked with me, other facilitators, or been a solo-journeyer, this may be the right package for you. As always, we will coordinate and discuss the right structure based on your experience level and intentions.
