Preparation for and Integration of
non-ordinary, profound experiences
Hello, beauty. Welcome to the way back home.
This is a place for learning more about, finding resources for, and getting support in integration.
It's a place for us to connect so we can walk alongside each other on this journey back home.
“If one's intention is the seed of what they are calling into their life, and a journey is the ritual that opens the seed into a sprout, then the integration is the nourishment that helps it grow healthy." - Francoise Bourzat
Though the term and concept of integration come from the modern western world of psychedelics and entheogens, I believe it is necessary for any intense, profound, moving experience that takes us out of our typical daily lives and conditions. After these potentially transformative experiences, in which we possibly access and connect to certain truths, realities, or parts of ourselves, the important, sometimes fun and oftentimes (more) challenging part comes: of unpacking, meaning-making, and incorporating the insights, learnings, and parts of ourselves accessed, into our daily lives, instead of letting them fade away like a distant dream. Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to forget when we don't make the effort to remember?
Whether we're working through or wish to explore something that has come up from an experience with an entheogen (psychedelic, plant medicine, drug) or any other intensely impactful (entheogenic) experience (e.g. meditation session, silent or dark retreat, travel, quarantine/pandemic times), having the time, space, intention, and support for integration can make a world of difference.
Whatever it may be, and wherever you may be, I'm here to walk alongside you and offer support, as we all make our way on this beautiful journey back home.
With much love and care,
Steph
