integration
Unfolding & deepening
Integration includes making meaning of your experiences and weaving this meaning into your larger world - where you are, where you go.
Integration is the unfolding, the normalizing and deepening - from disconnection to connection.
When the butterfly exits the cocoon, it is at its most powerful as it embarks on its new journey into the world. Just like the butterfly, you have all the strength within you to heal and reach your full potential.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT)
I am fortunate to have participated in educational training from the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics.
Psychedelic medicines have the power to heighten our sensory perceptions - what we see, hear, and feel - and that of our thoughts and feelings, bringing awareness to which we've been disconnected.
We each embody innate wisdom and ability to move toward healing and wholeness. A beautiful, and, oftentimes, messy unfolding and dismantling from who we've been told we are to the deep knowing and meeting of ourselves, maybe for the first time!
Psychedelic integration involves processing of psychedelic experiences after the fact, rather than during a psychedelic experience. I do not encourage engagement in illegal activities, including the purchase and consumption of illegal substances. Until it is legal in my state, I am unable to offer guided psychedelic experiences, nor do I see clients who are under the influence of psychedelic substances during integration sessions.

Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon.
With the sound of the river and the waterfall.
With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.
Heal yourself with mint, with neem and eucalyptus.
Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.
Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon.
Put love in tea instead of sugar, and take it looking at the stars.
Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.
Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it.
Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead.
Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.
Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember: You are the medicine.
