Medicine and Journey Work
Services
I offer the foundations for a successful journey including preparation, the medicine session, and integration in a safe and ethical manner. My goal is to help you reach your goal.
Preparation
As Stephen Porges says, "Safety IS the treatment." As such, I will help you build a safe container in which you can journey. Setting clear intentions, addressing any fears or concerns, identifying any obstacles or parts where you may be blocked, reviewing dietary or other practices you may want to avoid, and learning some simple exercises to relax, ground, and stay mindful. I suggest we meet 1-2 times (over a couple of weeks) before a session to lay the groundwork for success.
Session
Together we will determine a level of ceremony appropriate for you, from bare bones to quite elaborate. Again, the goal is to create a space where you feel as safe and supported as possible. I hold that your psyche and nervous system have their own innate healing intelligence. Given the right conditions (intention, space, a sense of safety) this intelligence will guide the unfolding of your healing, insight, and growth. I will be there to support and hold the space throughout the day.
Integration
The most enlightening insights, flights with angels, wrestling of demons, and feelings of wholeness and well-being are nothing if you can't bring them back to your daily life. I include 1-2 integration sessions in the days and weeks following your medicine journey. Taking the time to help you process and make sense of the journey in your body, in your relationships, in your work, and in life in general. Knitting the elements of your journey back to your intention and forward into your life.
