The Path of Integration
Receiving the Wisdom of Life
Assisting others on this journey of connection is one of my greatest passions. It’s also my own unique way of reciprocating all that I have received from my teachers – human, plant, animal, and the earth-based traditions that have brought more healing and love into my life than I ever thought possible.
When we are suffering, lost in our own minds, we can often feel small and disconnected. And one of the ways that we can expand back into the vastness of our true nature, is to remember that we aren't alone. We are a part of something greater than we can even imagine. This offering of integration is an invitation to remember together... as we allow the wisdom of Nature to lead the way.
Sacred Ground
Integration is the foundation of our evolutionary journey. It’s the fertile ground that holds us as we learn to embody the wisdom of our greatest initiations and deepest rememberings... Forever leading us towards expansion, healing, and true connection.
This process encourages us to embrace the clarity, trust, and compassion that we’ve experienced in spiritual initiations, expanded states, and our most profound realizations, and to accept the sacred responsibility of weaving the medicine of those experiences back into our lives, families, and communities.
This is a gradual journey – the results of which can be life-changing when we begin to experience the deep transformation and freedom that comes from building a harmonious relationship with ourselves and our world. But we must be willing to welcome change and adversity (for these too carry medicine), and to hold ourselves with tenderness and compassion as we question the narratives and conditioning that have kept us distracted, feeling disconnected, and seemingly disempowered for most of our lives.
The Path
Cultivating a safe, supportive space for integration is of the utmost importance for those who walk the ceremonial path. The deep exploration of Self has the unique ability to reveal what has been hidden, or perhaps denied or suppressed within us. These experiences can be confusing, frightening, and emotionally/physically intense. Having a container to gently welcome, bless, and hold these moments can be incredibly helpful, as it strengthens our capacity to perceive clearly. It also deepens our awareness of the presence of nature within and around us that ultimately grounds our experience. From this place of deep connection, we witness profound shifts in the very fabric of our reality, and in our relationship to "what is".
Embodied Devotion
As we learn how to receive and ground all of these shifts into the physical body, the mind, and our emotional landscape, our lives become a celebration of wholeness.
We remember how to grieve, how to be in joy, how to be with pain, how to love - because we come to realize there is immense wisdom and beauty within all of these expressions when we allow them to be as they are.
There is no destination here - but there is a richness of connection that has the ability to nourish our lives, and the lives of those we touch.
Please walk gently...
We are living in a time where many people are now seeking earth-based healing. In many ways, this is a beautiful step for humanity... but it's important to acknowledge that without a responsible and reverent approach, the consequences of this seeking can be distressing. My intention is to guide others through the preparation and integration of this work safely, with integrity, and resounding respect for these traditions.
*Retreats, rituals, and embodiment practices all initiate a deep, complex process of healing that unfolds over time. They require a certain amount of time, space, and mental/emotional preparation and resilience. Therefore, in order to keep safety and integrity at the forefront of this work, there will be an intake form and application prior to any scheduling.
