WELCOME
Please look into my offerings via the tabs above and reach out to jai@journeywithjai.com if I can be of assistance with Medicine Journeying, Outdoor Meditation, Animal Care, or Native Plant and Food Cultivation. Jai is my name and is a portion of my given birth name. Choosing Jai flowed. Jai also happens to mean “yes”, “victory”, and/or “celebration” in Sanskrit — all elements of experience that I hope we get to engage while journeying together. I am trans, nature worshipping, energy sensitive, and autistic which leads me to my drive for connecting us with our Earth and ourselves as aspects of nature while also navigating modern ways. I have created the services you see based on my passions and I continue to learn as I offer them. Some of my training, education, and work includes The Psychedelic Sitter School, mentorship with the Psychedelic Introvert, MA in both Psychology and Gender Studies at The University of Utah, Valley Behavioral Health work with people with SPMI, Embodylab’s Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy program, YTT with Yoga Assets, Mindfulness and Vipassana Meditation at Naropa University and retreat centers, Soul Dimension’s Breathwork, NOLS Wilderness First Responder, Wilderness Therapy Guiding at RedCliff Ascent, World-Wide Organic Farming with Shumei, Earth Activist Permaculture Design Certificate, gardening with The Living Systems Institute, and engaging Rover and Denver Dog Hikers. Don’t hesitate to ask me questions and I will be transparent about my capacities and services.

Shout Out Colorado Written Interview
“Jai was very easy to work with! We did a thorough intake session over zoom, and Jai sent me the intake documents to fill out. These included medical history, history with plant medicine, emergency contact, descriptions of services, what to expect, and what my intentions were for doing a journey with Jai. Jai’s website was very helpful too. We followed up over email and with a phone call to chat about the journey. The journey itself was super helpful and healing for me. The experience was not what I expected at all, but I got exactly what I needed. I had an intense physical/somatic experience with shaking. This was not scary at all. Jai was very supportive through the whole journey. I felt very comfortable and safe, and I got exactly what I was looking for. We followed up a week or so later with an integration session over zoom. We talked about the experience, what I had learned and felt through the experience. I’m glad we did this session to help integrate the experience. Jai has a very calm, gentle demeanor. I felt very safe and supported through the whole process, and I would highly recommend Jai to anyone looking for a guided journey with plant medicine.” B.S.T.
