All too often, post plant medicine ceremony integration is overlooked and completely left out of the equation. And If you are new to this realm, you might think it’s unnecessary. And while some practitioners suggest integration is ‘optional’ it truly is a MUST. The integration period is when the transformation really happens and provides an opportunity to reap the full benefits of your journey.
The profound experiences plant medicine ceremonies deliver on their own include: deep healings and insights, new outlooks, desires, and directions, freedom from anxiety and stress, and guidance to make changes in one’s life.
Yet once this potent experience ends and you return to the daily routine, packed with all your ‘normal things’, people often struggle to transfer the insights gained in the ceremonial container into tangible outcomes in everyday life.
Without a way to stay connected to the essence of ceremony, those profound experiences slowly fade and, without anchoring in waking reality, start to feel more like a dream than a reality.
This is the time when we find the value in working with an integration community, helping everyone who participated in the ceremony with their healing process through shared insights and accountability. Keeping the group together and private provides safety, unity and celebration for both what occurred in the ceremony and that which is occurring in your life… all key elements for successful, lasting integration of the plant medicine experience.
Because of its high importance, integration coaching is a vital element of our ceremonial package in acknowledgement that it truly is a MUST when seeking to reap the full benefits of your journey.
