In these preparation sessions, we will work together to create a concise and powerful intention for you to hold throughout your entheogenic experience.  We will begin by seeing why you are being called to work with ancestral medicines, and by using the wisdom of your body tune into what is at the core of your desire. This is a process of becoming conscious of the emotions that lie underneath your narratives.

You will leave the session with one to two mantras to hold for your experience.  You will also be given tools to help you stay regulated and centered throughout your experience.  These tools are intentional forms of breathing, simple somatic exercises, and identifying internal tools and strengths for you to utilize.

For practitioners working in therapeutic or ceremonial containers, I offer guidance and counsel to better understand reactions of participants within and after medicine sessions.  Together, we can can review ways to further support and regulate your participants, and trauma- informed intervention when a participant is in crisis.  This may also include understanding how to hold and work with trauma imprints as they rise into the space.  I have directly worked with over 1400 participants, and witnessed the process of several hundred more in group containers as a participant myself. 

In this container we explore content that rose up during or since your ancestral medicine experience.  It's helpful to regard the entheogenic experience only as the beggining of your journey.  For weeks or months afterwards, you may experience large emotions, mental changes or insights as your unconscious landscape continues to shift.

These integration sessions may include gentle guidance in meaning making of transpersonal or otherwise confusing content.  Recognizing that the significant shifts within and following an entheogneic experience take place in the non-verbal terrain of the nervous system, a deep structure within our body.  With this in mind, integration may include body-based practices of breaking up stagnant energy or restoring ease. These sessions may also include creative expression such as art or singing as a way to gain inner-insight. 

I am available to support existing retreats through service of these ancestral medicines.  In a therapeutic sense, this can be understood as harm reduction, or ensuring the physical- psychological- spiritual safety of those involved in ancestral medicine containers.  This can occur in private or group containers.  I also offer group and private preparation & integration sessions, as well as breathwork, authentic relating, guided meditation, mindful therapeutic art, sound baths and community song circles.  This offering is domestic and international.
