Plant Medicine: Preparing and Integrating the Experience

Join Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D. for this transformative course that will guide you through the vital steps of preparing for and integrating plant medicine experiences. In an era when conventional healing paths often fall short, plant medicine provides a gateway to the realms of spirit and inner knowing. Explore the wisdom of the natural world and learn how to integrate its transformative lessons into your life—cultivating balance, healing, and profound personal insight. Psychotropic fungi and plants*—such as ayahuasca, peyote, and psilocybin mushrooms—provide a gateway to the realms of spirit and inner knowing, but they also present unique challenges.

The experiences they evoke can be overwhelming, disorienting, or even destabilizing at times, particularly for individuals who lack the cultural, spiritual, or communal structures that traditionally supported such work. This immersive workshop will introduce you to ways of effectively working with plants to better access their teachings and healing properties as has been done in shamanic cultures for thousands of years. Through the holistic lens of Applied Shamanism, this immersive workshop introduces you to a structured framework for safely engaging with these powerful experiences and integrating their wisdom into everyday life.

*This workshop does not include the use of psychotropic plants.

What you’ll experience:

• Ancient Teachings for a Modern World: Discover how plant intelligence has guided shamans for generations and tap into this timeless wisdom for personal transformation.
• Connecting with Teaching Spirits: Learn time-tested techniques of engaging with the living intelligence of plants and begin to learn how to interpret their guidance.
• Set and Setting Essentials: Understand the crucial role of your environment and mindset, and acquire practical tools to create a safe, nurturing space for your journey.
• Preparation and Integration for Lasting Change: Follow clear steps and practices to prepare for a plant medicine experience and integrate the experience and insights into your life.
