Integration Support
What I Offer
I offer psychedelic preparation and integration support around cannabis, psilocybin, herbs and other safe medicines of choice. Yes, cannabis is an ally, insightful conduit, and psychedelic plant — my favorite for non-recreational relating actually! I offer journeying occurring via nature, visuals, meditation, sound, energy, and your body. I work with your vantage points, mine, and frameworks such as parts work, energy work, compassionate acceptance, somatic trauma therapy, breath work, ego disillusionment and/or enhancement, nature allyship, soul retrieval, dream analysis, social context, nuerodivergence, and more.
Who I Work With
I like working with a variety of people who are delving into developmental/attachment/generational healing or are perpetually curious about life and the universe, as well as those who may identify as nuerowild, highly sensitive, introverted, or lgbtq2ia+.
Time Commitment
Our time together will include at least 2 one hour long preparation sessions, a 3-6 hour long journey, and at least 2 to 5 one hour long integration sessions. We will engage in as much preparation and integration as is best for both of us to feel confident and I will encourage you with resources of support. If you prefer, we can meet on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis for an agreed on time period to make sure you receive the integration and implementation support you want and need.
What Our Time Entails
Preparation support allows us to get to know each other, your hopes and needs, our setting, and our medicine. In the journey we dive into our unconscious, collective awarenesses, and our body’s knowings in a supportive setting. Integration helps you digest your experiences and gives you opportunity to express and be heard so that you can practice embodying your insights. Prep and integration times are online or on a nature walk and each an hour long. Journeying is done in a clean room in your home or outside.
Cost
I offer nature-communion or journeying, preparation, and integration in your home, virtually, or in a safe nature space. I am open to trade and exploring cost and I work within a large sliding scale of typically about $25-$150 per hour depending on your positionality.
Where
I hold harm reduction, health balancing, spiritual-tending space in your home, online, or on land.

Philosophy and Spiritual Orientation
If I have one single summed up agenda, it is to support you in knowing your essence as nature so that we can engage with one another and all beings with an honesty and creativity that cultivates actual personal and collective power and reshapes what is possible both within and outside of colonialist systems and paradigms.
Journeying and integration are a practice of continual relationship and can lead to both small and big insights and shifts. I have seen people walk away with a lot less emotional and energetic weight and even joyfully leave their home or stop reaching for a substance after being unable to. I would love to offer you integration support that has the potential to ripple into relational and collective healing.
I orient to medicines and sober journey space with frameworks such as parts work, energy work, body awareness, meditation, ego disillusionment and/or enhancement, nature allyship, soul retrieval, dream analysis, social context, nuerodivergence and more.
Cultivating relationship with the depths of oneself and the natural world can be life enhancing in a way that ripple into multiple areas of one’s individual life and community. Journeying has the potential to reminds us of our interdependence and the reverence, care, and reciprocity needed in relating to ourselves, one another, the lands we live on, and the animals we live amidst. Journeying can remind us as a collective that we can create ways alternate to colonial mindsets and remember who we are beyond the constructed expectations and ideas we might live amidst.
On personal levels, journeying is often about releasing or reorienting around thoughts, behavior patterns, feelings, stories, experiences and lineage — ultimately, how you carry and work with the energies that make and surround you. Let’s both embrace valuable ego and political identities and also ask who we are without all the social constructs and labels. Let’s allow journey space to invite self discovery and interconnection as forms of physical and spiritual healing and unveiling that ripple into daily life. Remembering yourself is huge and lovingly knowing who you are in relationship with other people, plants, places and animals is symbiotically empowering. Each journey integration is an invitation to live into paradigms that could be new or ancient and forgotten — tending to your worth, your work in the world, your relationships, your physical health, and care for our collectives and earth.

Psilocybin Journeys
Often, our symptoms related to (C)PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other diagnoses stem from trauma, oppression, and stuck energy. Psilocybin opens us up to repressed perspectives, sensory engagement, play, historical experiences, Source, and our full range of emotions. Psilocybin journeys give you the opportunity to transmute experiences into learning and expansion by honoring and feeling into them. Psilocybin is legal for personal use in the Denver area.
Cannabis Journeys
Cannabis is a wonderful ally for engaging one’s body sensations as messages and messengers. Movement, such as flow-state dance, small yogic adjustments, and felt-sense impulses, or attuned stillness are invited by cannabis and quite supportive to potentially releasing what no longer serves or inviting new possibilities. Cannabis can also support embracing parts of self that want to be re-integrated into your being. Cannabis is legal in Colorado.
Foundational Awarenesses
Let’s hold an openness to the idea that what shows up on the level of thinking or physicality could be a mirror of emotional, spiritual, historical, social, past life, or generational terrain. Basically, what shows up in one area is sometimes echoed in other areas of one’s life. Multiple areas of one’s life can be transformed by tuning into one area in new ways and allowing a ripple effect.
We open to guidance that is of the good of each of us and all. As aspects of nature and the universe, we open to ourselves and our internal wisdom.
Energy attached to difficult thoughts or memories can be transmuted via heat and surrender to feeling, shaking, visualizing and natural flow. In general energy can move within or out of the body and one’s system in the form of exhaling, shaking, flicking, belching, vomiting, spitting, sighing, crying, laughing, angering, and releasing tension in the fascia (via yin stretching or doing micro movements in our work together).
Energy and parts of self can move in and fill voided emotional and physical spaces for safety, healing, self-remembering or support via breathing into an area, tapping, visuals, sounds, colors, elements, guides, animal visitations, intentions, hands above, physical supports like blankets, and more.
Basically, energy in the form of thoughts, feels, and experiences can be cleansed, transmuted or moved with acceptance, compassion, understanding, stones, music, sunlight, bird wings, intention, imagination, hands, water, earth, fire, whistling, blowing, smudging, communion with body, allowing sensation-emotion-thought, and communicating with nature.
All of this is welcome and either one of us could express any of these as we work with your energy body to invite new ways of being or recall alternate healthy ways.
Again, we open to guidance that is of the good of each of us and all. As aspects of nature and the universe, we open to ourselves and our internal wisdom.
If I am not the guide for you I respect that fully — here is a list of facilitator options for you to explore.
