THREE PILLARS
— PREPARATION
Every meaningful journey begin with thoughtful preparation
“The depth of your journey is shaped by the intention and preparation you bring to it.”
Intention Setting
We clarify why you're coming to this work and shape that into a meaningful intention — one built to create openness, not a fixed expectation of what should happen.
Discovery Call
A no-pressure conversation where we talk through your goals, I answer your questions, and together we get a real sense of your readiness. There will be 3 preparation calls.
Physical Preparation
Guidance on nutrition, sleep, medication considerations where relevant, and general wellness in the days beforehand, so your body meets the experience well-rested and settled.
What preparation actually looks like
THE PROCESS
Emotional Preparation
Self-reflection, journaling prompts, and meditation to help you arrive steady rather than braced.
Foods & substances to avoid
Dairy, red meat, processed and canned foods, fermented and aged foods, sourdough, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, spicy and excessively salty foods, high-gluten products, alcohol, caffeine, and all recreational drugs including cannabis. Also avoid violent films and video games, and any form of sexual contact, including masturbation.
Preferred foods
Fresh, locally grown organic foods; organic fruits and vegetables; organic grilled chicken and wild-caught fish; organic eggs; oatmeal, quinoa, buckwheat, and rice; homemade gluten-free bread; raw unsalted nuts; and plenty of water and herbal teas.
Medication restrictions
Certain prescription medications like SSRIs, MAOIs, antihistamines, antipsychotics, opiates, and amphetamines , supplements, medical conditions, and psychiatric histories may affect whether a particular medicine is appropriate or safe. All medications and supplements must be disclosed during screening. Never discontinue or change a prescribed medication for participation in a ceremony without first consulting the clinician who prescribed it.
"Preparation is not about perfection. It is about creating space to arrive feeling grounded, supported, and open to your experience."
Getting ready to prepare
COMMON QUESTIONS
How far in advance should I start preparing?
Most people benefit from at least two to four weeks — enough time for a preparation session, some reflection, and physical wind-down, without so much lead time that momentum fades.
What if I don't know what my intention is yet?
That's completely normal, and exactly what the intention-setting conversation is for. You don't need a polished answer walking in.
Do I need to change my diet or medications beforehand?
Sometimes — it depends entirely on your individual health history. We'll go through this in detail during your preparation session rather than working from a generic checklist.
I'm nervous. Is that a sign I shouldn't do this?
Nervousness is common, and it shows reverence to the medicine.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
A discovery call is the first, low-pressure step toward preparation — and toward finding out if this is the right time for you.
