Ceremony Preparation

Six weeks prior and post ceremony:

  • Cease the use of any street drugs.
  • Completely stop any SSRI’s or supplements/herbs that effect serotonin.

Four weeks prior and post ceremony:

  • Stop the use of Cannabis for a minimum of 30 days to completely clear your system. It can inhibit visions and cause distortions in the energy. 

Two weeks prior and post ceremony:

  • Be mindful of the media you ingest, including anything that is meant to induce strong emotions or portrayals of traumatic events (violence, stress, sadness, etc.). These energies can influence your ceremony experience.
  • Alcohol
  • Protein bars, powders, shakes and supplements.

One week prior and post ceremony:

  • Stop sexual activity including masturbation (this allows your energy to be strong, clear and purely yours). If you are in a committed relationship, 3 days min.
  • Eat clean, nourishing meals.

  • No Red Meat, Pork, Turkey, Tuna and Salmon.

  • No Aspartame
  • No Chocolate
  • Salt intake (minimize)
  • No seed or canola oils (only use olive, avocado or coconut oil)
  • Switch to decaf, green tea or eliminate caffeine intake (to avoid caffeine headaches on ceremony days)

  • Please eat, fasting is not recommended. Eat clean, healthy foods to nourish you for the journey.
  • No spicy foods
  • No greasy or fried food
  • No food after 12pm

Continuing to adhere to the diet in reverse will allow the medicine to continue working, healing and aligning your system to its fullest capacity.

We are here to walk with you


Priming your system for deep healing and profound spiritual connection calls for commitment and dedication. It is imperative to understand that what we take into our systems, whether through food, medications and supplements or the media we consume has a large energetic impact. Cleaning our vessel allows for the clarity, lessons and knowledge from the Divine to come without distortion. The preparation process is also a way of honoring and showing reverence for the opportunity to commune with the sacrament.


Intentions are key to guiding the ceremony, it's like putting an address into your spiritual GPS. 


Intention questions to consider: 

  • What do I want to release, be relieved of or let go of?
  • What am I calling in, reclaiming, or wanting to embody?


You will be fully supported along the preparation path. We will provide supplemental materials that will give guidance, direction and suggestions.

Integration

Group and One-on-One Support


Integration is a vital part of healing your mind and connecting with your spirit. Integration is the process of incorporating the lessons, teachings and wisdom learned into our lives. The goal is not perfection, in fact shortcomings are often the greatest teachers. The purpose is steadily increasing awareness of our thoughts, emotions, words and actions and exploring ways to change them and better ourselves. In order to claim all of the rewards of this work we must learn to be authentic, real and transparent with ourselves and others. The ability to share with an open heart and to be fully seen, in a safe and respectful way, is by far one of the most valuable offerings we can make to ourselves. 


Consider doing some, or all, of the following to support your integration process: 

  • Connection and Community
  • Be in nature
  • Journal
  • Prayer
  • Meditation
  • Yoga
  • Breathwork
  • Creating and Art
  • Gardening and connect with plants
