Conscious preparation for a psychedelic journey or ketamine treatment is about optimizing the conditions for a positive outcome.

We might talk about where and how to choose a facilitator, a group, or a retreat, and how to make choices that ensure your safety and comfort.

We will likely review some tools and techniques that may help you bring useful information out of the experience.

We’ll talk about how cultivating a combination of helpful practices, both mental and physical - meditation, movement, ritual, presence, and/or awareness - can support your journey and prepare you for a productive ongoing integration.

A minimum of three sessions are recommended to prepare for a psychedelic experience, but if you have something coming up sooner than that, call me anyway.

Insights are one thing, but putting them into action is a process that requires attention and repeated practice over time.

During the integration process we will be present and attentive to your thoughts, feelings and reactions as your experience unfolds beyonds the container of your initial experience. We’ll look at what you can now see that you didn’t see before, and wonder about how new perspectives or ideas or questions might play out in your daily life. We’ll work on using what you’ve discovered, and will continue to discover, to implement positive change.

We’ll ask questions, but learn not to settle for the certainty of quick answers.

Ideally you’ll have a minimum of six sessions to support your integration after a journey, but, as it’s an ongoing process, we can continue to meet as often and for as long as you like.

Microdosing (consuming a low, sub-perceptual dose of a psychedelic on a consistent basis for an extended period of time) has numerous benefits, depending on the attention you pay to your experience and the energy you bring to it. This may be your first exposure to psychedelics or you may want to use microdosing to boost your post journey integration practice.

We’ve seen changes in mood, addictive behavior, creativity, productivity, and time-management abilities. You may experience more connection to people, nature and feelings, less need for anti-depressants, and support for healthy habits. We’ll nurture your self-awareness and be ready to learn from new thoughts, emotions and insights.

We’ll design a schedule of meetings that suits your process, at first once a week and then… we’ll see.

Note - I do not ever provide any substances. Ever.

If you’re a facilitator without the time and space to fully support your community with preparation and integration, let’s collaborate to create an ongoing system my team will implement in support of your participants.
