The Importance of Integration for the Psychedelic Journey
The inner landscape of the therapeutic psychedelic journey is deeply profound and awe inspiring. It is complex and multidimensional and at times also confusing. It is something people don't go into lightly, but with the intention of gaining far greater awareness than they have in normal waking conscious life. Most meditation practices cannot come close to matching the depth that can be met within the psychedelic journey. Psychedelic medicines take you deeper into yourself. For these reasons the experience tends to inform one's life in many layers over a long period of time. Making the most of this life-affirming session through intentional integration work, supported by a skilled facilitator, helps you traverse the content that rises up in the context of a journey and beyond so that you can effect positive and desired change in your experience of life.
What to Expect
You are not alone in this. I will be with you all along the way. The most important element of working with any kind of mind altering experience is that you feel trust and safety. We all have protector parts within us that pop up when our inner sense of safety is challenged on any level. You and I will prepare for this in-person experience together, assuring that your needs are met and that you are as ready as possible to face what's inside of you at every turn on your journey. Through a series of therapeutic preparatory sessions we will gently enter into the regions of the terrain you'll be exploring. You will gain many new tools and insights to take with you on your journey, and into the integration process following the journey where the therapeutic sessions will continue for a short time, and then with additional check-ins further apart. We will have scheduled times to connect via zoom or video call and you will be able to reach out for additional support if there are difficult times happening in between our sessions together.

What is included?
Full-day sessions are in-person and will last at least six hours, during which we will cultivate the ceremony container together with your intentions and setting of the space in a way that best supports your ultimate comfort. Throughout the day we will utilize a variety of methods to support you entering into expanded states of consciousness for your transformation and healing. My methods are rooted in somatic psychotherapy, sacred ceremony, sound healing, gentle somatic energy work, breathwork, movement, and therapeutic art-making. It is important to note that at this time psychedelic medicines are illegal in most parts of the United States. If we meet in an area of the world where illegality persists we will utilize many other effective methods to enter into expanded states of consciousness that naturally allow an inner opening, supporting you toward wholeness and integration.
These full-day sessions are typically combined with 1-2 preparation sessions before your ceremony and 1-2 integration sessions following your ceremony. (People occasionally find that additional prep or integration would be beneficial and decide to do ongoing integration sessions for a short time). We take as long as you need to feel prepared, however I find the prep-ceremony-integration sequence of sessions to usually takes between 3-6 weeks. Most clients travel to my location in either Santa Fe, NM, or Oakland, CA for these sessions and rent an Air-BnB nearby. In Oakland (including the greater SF Bay Area) we would hold the session at your location, and in Santa Fe we would hold the session at my retreat location in the high desert mountains. Daylong sessions are flexibly held on various days of the week and we will coordinate the best timing together.
I occasionally curate a special personal retreat for 3-5 days in Santa Fe, NM. The cost for personal retreats are based on the scope of your personalized retreat package. Please let me know if you feel a retreat, with more focused time, attention and rest is what feels best for you.
*Please sign up for a short discovery call, during which we can discuss pricing, as each person has different needs and there is no "one size fits all". I invite those with financial need to inquire about either payment plans or sliding scale options.
