Integration
"Your intention influences your experience in ceremony
Your integration influences the rest of your life."

To make lasting change is difficult. Especially when it comes to how we embody ourself: our habitual ways of thinking, behaving, feeling and being are often deeply engrained. A psilocybin ceremony can offer a profound opening up of habitual patterns, connect us to our inner wisdom and give us a felt sense of how it would be if we can release another layer of the conditioning that is no longer serving our happiness and wellbeing.
​
In the days and weeks after ceremony you have a window of opportunity to use the benefit of increased neuroplasticity that results from a deep psilocybin experience, to make real change in your inner landscape and in how you relate to your life and your relationships. This is what integration is about: to embody a new you, in subtle yet profound ways.
​
Integration is about doing. By repeated practice we change our neuro-pathways, resulting in a new way of being, feeling, thinking, acting and relating. To support you in turning your ceremony experience into lasting inner and outer changes, I offer integration support. These sessions are tailor-made to you, based on your questions and themes in your life.
​
Based on our intake session and in dialogue with you, I design sessions combining body-based compassion practice, breathwork, reflective questions and actionable steps. If desired, I can suggest additional daily practices during the integration period. Each integration trajectory is unique and my intention is to support you in your unique path.
​
he true value of a psilocybin experience lies in your ability to integrate the insights and experiences received during a ceremony into your life. This is what integration is about: making real change in your behaviour, your inner landscape, your relationships or in how you shape your life. How to do this in a grounded and meaningful way, is what my integration support sessions guide you in.

Explore if integration support is for you
In the intake session we talk about your reasons for going into ceremony and explore what the value of integration support can be for you. You can then choose whether to proceed with integration sessions afterwards, or not.

About my support
What I offer is based on principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), which I have been studying since 2016. More than a communication method, NVC offers a way of compassionate living and being.

About NVC
NVC was first put together by Marshall Rosenberg some decades ago and is nicknamed 'the language of the heart'. NVC sees a beautiful diamond at the heart of everything we think, say or do, even if in first instance we may not see it. These diamonds are called needs in NVC-language and they can be seen as the source of our feelings, thoughts and actions. The art of communication that connects is to become aware of our needs and meet them in a way that is inclusive, fulfilling and effective. The NVC framework shows us how to do that in a way that honours our self and the other(s) fully.
