I have often thought a more appropriate name to call psychoactive plants may be, Souldelic for the ways in which these plants amplify our soul, dissolve our ego, and invite us into a direct experience with the mystical and Spirit world of ourselves. Many call theses sacred plants, entheogen, which translates to the God within.
The number of psychedelic trip reports, documentaries, podcasts, conferences, and weekend ceremonies is hard to keep track of. There are cities and towns across America that have recently decriminalized psychedelics and MDMA has just reached stage III trials status for the clinical use in the treatment of PTSD and trauma. The globe is suddenly being dotted with beautiful retreat and wellness centers offering psychedelics for deep healing.
All this hype has brought a lot of attention to this field. Individuals come to the medicine for many reasons; curiosity, bragging rights, physical or phycological healing, the desire to experiences altered states of consciousness, or a direct connection to plant intelligence or to Spirit/Source/God and other realms.
This hype has created a faulty idea that psychedelics are the panacea, a quick fix to all that ails the Western mind. Psychedelics are amazing, profound healers, teacher, revealers...and the arc of healing and the process is not always an easy, smooth or delightful one.
As a matter of full disclosure, my own psychedelic healing work has been ineffable, illuminating, beautiful, profound, and life altering. While also encountering unexpected challenges and difficult material to process and integrate. I can not imagine having these experiences without a lot of integration, a supportive community, and wisdom form both the Shamanic traditions and Western Depth Psychology.
The journey or ceremony is just the beginning. When we open ourselves to the real work or transformation and wholeness with psychedelics, we are saying yes to Truth, committing to a way of being our ego's will certainly revolt against. Change does not happen over night. We are remembering, re-rearing and reclaiming ourselves.
Medicine give you what you need, not what you want. Plant medicine reveal our exiled parts, shadow, both the beauty and pain within us, the global collective body and psyche of humanity... We may experience the impact we have had on others ourselves and this beautiful Mother Earth. Ultimately, when we say 'yes" to this work we are saying yes to dying and letting go all that we cling to that does not serve us or our greater good.
Unearthing hidden core wounds, unconscious beliefs, our subconscious material, faulty assumptions and perceptions... can radically alter how we view ourselves and the world. As as difficult as this path is, there is nothing more beautiful and grounding than returning to the truth of who we are.
I created this course with a deep desire to help you on your path and to share with you. I have gathered the wisdom of all my teachers, practices, and gathered wisdom spans the earth, and is collected from Psychologists, Scientist, Medicine women and men, healers, Shamanic...and the wisdom of the medicine and my own integration and all the books, body work, ritual and ceremony that supported my path. Being well prepared, educated, resources, supported is essential when embarking on a psychedelic journey for healing. Understanding and implementing an integral approach and the complimentary modalities to support your process is extremely helpful.
Understanding trauma, the physiological and psychological effects, the unconscious survival patterning that are created from trauma and how to bring these patterns into our conscious awareness so we can finally do the real work of individuating, coming home to our truth, and living free of denial, addiction, disassociation, created from trauma and how the the original wound continues to live in the present moment through how to heal the body from its evaluating expectations, desired outcomes, potential challenges, are some of the essentials.
LSD, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, Iboga, San Padreo
Exploring psychedelics, plant medicines, & alter-states of consciousness as tools for self-discovery, transformational healing & transcendence can be done through small doses. You may not be ready for a full dose of Ayahuasca or Iboga. You may just be curious to see if these plant medicines have wisdom and guidance for you. You may want to explore whether psilocybin is a more effective option for you if you are suffering from depression or anxiety.
