Plant Medicine Preparation & Integration
What I Offer
Preparation
Initial Meeting— Here we will look at the timeline leading up to your ceremony. This is also a space to simply see if it feels like the right time to sit with the medicine. I am glad to share trusted referrals for ceremonial work if you have not already located a gathering.
Intention Setting— We will collaboratively work together to create an intention for the ceremony. Something your soul feels called to for this season of your life. This allows you to show up to the medicine with reverence, respect, and clarity.
Preparation— Here we go over how to mindfully prepare yourself for ceremony. How we treat our minds, bodies, and hearts the weeks leading up to the ceremony will affect how we sit in circle and what arises.
Parts Mapping & Other Practices— We will incorporate IFS to check in with your parts before the ceremony. Are there concerns, excitement, confusion? We will give space for all your parts. The more awareness offered before the ceremony, the more able you are to stay focused on your intention under the force of the medicine.
Integration
We Begin Right Away— Once you are home, we will begin the integration shortly after, as everything is still fresh in your experience with the medicine.
Creative Practices— We will utilize all the avenues of processing: your dreams, art, movement, song, storytelling, writing, communing with the living world.
We process— Ceremony can bring up all the human expressions, joy, ecstasy, sorrow, and pain. I will support you to process any trauma that may surface in or after the ceremony.
The Work Layers— In many ceremonial traditions, initiation unfolds over time. Ceremony is understood as a process of layering—where insight, healing, and maturation are woven through repeated participation rather than achieved all at once.
Each ceremony revisits the same intention from a new depth, allowing the work to integrate gradually and sustainably. This layered approach reflects a collective understanding: that meaningful transformation requires time, relationship, and continuity.
Continued Support & Check Ins
Don’t Forget the Gifts Received— In ceremony we receive many teachings, it’s important not to forget what gifts and wisdom we have taken into our bones. This can be done through continued communal support, check ins here, singing and dancing, prayer, harnessing relationships with the spirits, ancestors, and guides you may come into contact with, giving thanks in your days, writing, sharing your gifts with your loved ones and village.
My Teachers Would Say, “the real ceremony beings upon completion of the ceremony.” Meaning; we do beautiful deep work in the ceremony so we can extend that outward into the world, into our communities, and live everyday as if it is a ceremony.
For me, I splash the magic of a ceremony into each day.
Our Work— Initiation does not belong to one person alone. What we tend in ceremony shapes our own well-being and the communities we are woven into. The growth and maturation that unfolds in these ceremonial spaces does not end with us. They move outward, like a ripple, into our relationships our families, our circles, and our places of belonging.
This is our work.
