"Initiation happens, or tries to happen, whenever the course, direction, or meaning of our lives changes dramatically."
~ Michael Meade

​

Unlike indigenous and mestizo societies that have utilized plant medicines ancestrally for various community-based intentions for thousands of years, we in the western world have the great challenge of making sense of our experiences with a fragmented worldview of what it means to be human. In mainstream culture, an expansive cosmology to frame our numinous and spiritual experiences does not exist. Due to this, we may struggle to embody the multi-dimensional nature of reality as most of us don't live in a village with mature adults, mentors, and elders to guide us. Ultimately, we have lost the connection to the Indigenous Soul - individually, culturally, and societally. Where many ancient societies create a cocoon around profound spiritual experiences such as big dreams, visions, transmissions, and direct revelations, we in the modern world tend to become stuck and lost in between worlds.  This is precisely why we believe the element of integration is paramount.

One of the common misconceptions about working with plant medicines is that all of the healing and transformation is done for us in the ceremony. Whilst we respect that miraculous healing from one ceremony is possible, we believe that it's uncommon to walk out of a ceremony and have our lives completely transformed for us. As with any kind of psychospiritual undertaking, and specifically with the master plant medicine work - the Mystery tends to meet us halfway. As the saying goes, the humble work begins when the ceremony ends.
 
Doing the integration work, as Angeles Arrien's words suggest, requires that we
"walk a mystical path, with practical feet." If your experiences in ceremony were symbolised as seeds given to you to be planted, the integration phase then asks: how will you tend to those seeds so that they might grow and eventually bear fruits? 
​
We see that every encounter you have with plant medicines can serve as a little initiation. The experience of ingesting Ayahuasca, Peyote, Huachuma, or Mushrooms can be an immense ordeal, facilitating a death-rebirth of your identity, and challenging you to show up in the world in a renewed way for the benefit of your loved ones and community. Although, when you return home, you may not have the inner resources, appropriate relational space, or external guidance to support this new transformation. The world can feel isolated, disconnected, and contrasted to the powerful energies you experienced in ceremony. It can feel daunting to return home - as if your entire life has been flipped upside down. Even worse, this little initiation can turn into a detrimental (rather than transformative) crisis if the process is not nurtured adequately. The reality is, it can feel overwhelming to tend to your process alone. 
​
However, the return home from such an ordeal is not supposed to be an individual journey; it requires the presence of, at minimum, an appropriate relational container - be it a psychospiritual guide, an experienced loved one who can offer support, or (at best) a community. With this in mind, your integration process becomes the "solitary work that cannot be done alone" as said by Ira Progroff, and this is where we can support you.
