One-on-one and small group personalized journeywork combines the aspects of creating sacred space through shamanic practices, while incorporating a therapeutic approach. The medicine is used as a tool to access one's subconscious mind, process trauma, and release emotions stored in the body. We create an opening to allow each individual to access to their true self through the process of inquiry, preparation, creating a safe space and intention to connecting to each individuals innate wisdom to within themselves. The role of the facilitator is to support the unfolding of the individual experience and evoke curiosity rather than guide or direct, maximizing the inward experience catalyzed by the medicine.
In my work with innovation pioneers and thought-leaders in helping them to push the boundaries of their creativity and brain performance with the use of plant medicines, I have discovered synergistic protocols that address the diet, toxins, trauma combined with plant medicines and cutting-edge healing modalities. The whole program incorporates holistic approach based on each persons individual needs to allow them to move forward into deeper work and breakthroughs in self awareness. Each customized journey includes enhancement supplementation and custom diet recommendations to lessen fatigue and detoxify the body, micro-dosing, integration & preparation, arrangement of transportation and other services to allow for ease of integration.
Full day and weekend immersions are customized based on your specific intentions and needs.
