“Psychedelics are to psychology what telescopes in the sixteenth
century were to astronomy” - Terrence McKenna
Sacred Journeys
The term “psychedelic” is derived from the Ancient Greek words psychē (“mind
or soul”) and dēloun (“to make visible, to reveal”), translating to “mind/soul-revealing”.
As the name suggests, when used in the right set and setting, these medicines have potential for profound healing.
My priority is harm reduction for people who want to work with them. My role is that of a space holder and shamanic practitioner.
I am NOT a psychiatrist or psychotherapist.
The first step is to complete a discovery call and intake form to ensure that this is safe for you to participate in. Once we schedule the date and time, I will send you the following:
Preparation workbook - This workbook is designed to help you get clear with 1-2 intentions for the ceremony by making you aware of your subconscious behaviour patterns and core values. It also has some food and lifestyle instructions to ensure a safe and effective journey.
Grounding audio hypnosis program - The audio hypnosis program helps you regulate your nervous system and ground your energy. This allows you to increase your capacity to receive and manage whatever you experience during the ceremony.
When you arrive for the ceremony, we will take time to settle down and get grounded. We will open the sacred portal with prayer and ritual, followed by you vocalizing your intentions. You will then drink the tea and lie comfortably on a mattress with an eye mask. The eye mask helps direct your attention inward rather than getting distracted by what is around you.
There will be music playing and I may sing during ceremony. The music
guides your journey by activating memories, sensations and emotions.
My role is to ensure that you are safe while you explore the conscious, subconscious and unconscious parts of your psyche (and that of the collective). Although we won’t be conversing during the ceremony, I am right there with you to take care of any needs you may have or help you navigate any
challenging parts of the journey.
Once your journey is complete, you will have time to journal and share your experience with me if you wish. Finally, we will close the ceremony space together using prayer and ritual.
At this point, you are welcome to stay at my place to ensure you get sufficient rest and don't have to drive back home.
It is very important to close, protect and seal your energy field post ceremony. You will receive a small bag of 'Soul Shield' - herbs and flowers chosen by a herbalist to use in a bath. The bath must be done within 24 hours after the ceremony.
Integration behind when you feel sufficiently rested and recovered from that experience. This can take a few days.
Integration typically involves:
-
Reflecting on the experience
-
Interpreting it intellectually, somatically, symbolically
-
Identifying the triggers, resistance and shadows
-
Extracting the wisdom
-
Changing behaviours and habits accordingly
Once you complete the integration workbook, we will schedule a video integration call. During this call, I can help you with any of the above steps and arrive at the best ways for you to embody the wisdom you received.
If you have experienced a private ceremony with me and want to go deeper, I also offer SEMI-GUIDED JOURNEYS. These involve a more focused preparation workbook and specific prompts during the journey that guide your attention to specific elements (like Father, Mother, Inner Child, etc.), depending on your intention.
Please do your due diligence to educate yourself about these medicines. While you need some amount of information to create a minimum sense of safety mentally, you don’t really know until you experience them. So use your mind, intuition and body’s cues to decide if this is the right step for you.
I am happy to book a discovery call and answer any questions you have.
