“If one or more root causes of illness are addressed, the client may achieve more enduring gains from their psychedelic therapy sessions.

Larch trees are conifer trees with needles that turn a fantastic yellow-amber for a window of a few short weeks in the fall in the PNW and other high altitudes. Just as this magical site has a short window, so does the peak of neuroplasticity after psychedelic therapy. The brain plasticity seems to peak in the first 72 hours and may last for one month after the session. We have the opportunity to take advantage of this time frame during pre-scheduled integration sessions and practice nature-based techniques for a greater, lasting transformation together.
Whether your experience was two days ago or two years ago, or two decades ago, we can continue to integrate the experience for continued expansion of the level of consciousness you encountered on your journey and water the seed that was planted.
Whether you’re an individual who is preparing for a retreat, or a retreat host who wants herbal support as part of your program, supportive herbs add value to the absorption, circulation, and calmness.
Just as every plant posesses its unique qualities, each individual can benefit from personalized herbal formulas and tailored daily practices for preparation, during the retreat, and in the post-retreat period.
Additionally, supplements, holistic lifestyle coaching, and dietary guidance can be incorporated into the personalized regimen.
Yasei shinrin yoku (or wild forest bathing) considers the expansion of our health, purpose and well-being as being directly related to the work that we do for the benefit of the forest – the practice considers that we and the forest are “one” and that through this presence the true natural balance of energy can be achieved that benefits both the individual and the natural world. If we invest in the health and growth of the forest then the forest will invest in us – the medium of exchange is “life-force”.
Establishing and building a relationship with the forest as part of your integration process is deeply meaningful, offering profound healing wonders to be experienced. What you take from experiences can change over time, and you can look at the same experience with a different lens – just as you can enter a same, familiar forest and get different downloads or come up with new ideas each time.
The somatic experiences from medicine journeys are brought back to the forefront of our minds very effectively in the forest, where all of the noise and fluff of the modern world is stripped away. Through our senses, we can keep the experience alive and participate in further meaning-making in the days/weeks/months after as it continues to unfold.
When we create a relationship with the natural world,
we can achieve the ultimate in health and spiritual benefits.
