First and foremost, you must feel called to participate in a plant medicine ceremony and be ready to make changes in your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life. Each ceremony must be taken seriously, with sacred intentions, and not for recreational purposes. Plant Medicines are powerful healing allies for anyone looking to heal their body, reframe their mindset, and retrieve lost parts of their soul.

Second, Mother Earth has provided us with these plant medicines in order to heal. Why would our body have receptors for the chemicals in these medicines if plant medicines weren't for humans?

Third, plant medicines are safe. Although they can induce temporary confusion or emotional turmoil, hospitalizations & serious injuries are extremely rare.

Prior to booking a plant medicine retreat, we'll send you a health survey to fill out. There are some medications, specifically MAOI's, that cannot be taken with most plant medicines, or will require a fast for a few weeks prior. If you struggle with schizophrenia, severe depression, or other serious mental health concerns, we'll have an interview with you to see if you are mentally prepared to embark on a healing journey with plant medicine.

The medicines work in different ways with different people, therefore every person experiences a different journey with different results, AND every individual journey may be different for you with different results. The best results occur when you completely surrender to the plant, let go of all expectations and trust that you will receive what you need (even if it doesn't look the way you expected). The plant spirit always knows exactly what you need to heal, see, feel, hear, experience, and learn. The real work will occur between you and the plant (the teacher).

We joke that if you don't leave transformed, we will give you your money back. BUT if you leave transformed, you will pay double. ;)

You may experience everything from bodily sensations (pain, trembling, shaking, tingling, numbness, pleasure) to physical purging (yawning, crying, laughing, sweating, diarrhea, vomiting, sweating) to ah-ha awarenesses, repressed emotions showing up, reliving past experiences, mental imagery, deep relaxation, etc. The medicines work on a deep, energetic level beyond what we're able to consciously perceive.

You will NOT be served the medicine and lay back and journey with it from your mind. You will be guided into your PAIN body so that you can feel the PAIN of traumas stored in your BODY as you let go of the STORIES of traumas stored in your MIND.

First, the medicines will only show you what you can handle. Second, we don't believe in bad journeys. Instead, the journey may be challenging as you recall painful or traumatic thoughts, memories, feelings or emotions. This is necessary in order to move beyond the pain or trauma. We will be there to guide you through the experience and if it becomes too much for you to handle, we do have alternative medicine blends available that help to reduce the effects of the medicine and the challenging experience.
