drum journey
-
Journey into non-ordinary reality as you are invited to explore your consciousness, transcend the boundaries of everyday reality, deeply transform your self-awareness and connect deeply with your intuition and guides. This practice will begin by experiencing rhythmic sound—such as drumming, rattling, or ambient music—which will serve to alter the participant’s state of awareness, facilitating entry into an expanded realm.
Once engaged by way of rhythmic sound and verbal guidance, the individual may find themselves navigating a rich landscape populated by symbolic imagery, vibrant colors, and profound sensations. This alternate reality may resemble vivid dreams filled with ancient myths, archetypes and guides appearing to impart wisdom or support. Participants often encounter allies—a version of their higher-self, spirits, ancestors or other energies that provide insight and assistance as they explore their inner world and deep intuition.
In this altered state, one can access insights about personal challenges, relationships, spiritual questions or intent for this lifetime. The exploration may involve retrieving lost aspects of the self, healing emotional wounds, or receiving guidance on life choices. The experience often feels deeply personal and can be both exhilarating and sometimes challenging, prompting reflection on one’s life journey.
Upon returning to ordinary consciousness, we will take time to integrate your experiences. This process can involve journaling, meditating, or sharing insights.The lessons learned can lead to enhanced self-awareness, personal growth and a deeper connection to your purpose, to the natural world and to the cosmos.
Ultimately, this practice invites you to embrace your innate creativity and wisdom, fostering a richer understanding of your place in the web of existence. Engaging in such explorations can offer valuable perspectives on identity and purpose, enriching all aspects of life.

Tea Meditation Ceremony
-
This in-person herbal tea meditation ceremony creates a sacred space where nature and humanity unite. Each plant contributes uniquely to the process. Participants synchronize their breath with the sensations presented by the plant, sipping in a meditative rhythm that deepens their connection to both the plants and themselves. This practice fosters grounding and harmony while tapping into natural energies.
The tea meditation ceremony unfolds as a deliberate weaving of the wisdom of each plant and individual, inviting participants to synchronize with the gentle rhythms of the natural world. The tea meditation becomes a ritual, a sacred passage into stillness, where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Each moment in this silent communion deepens awareness, fostering a connection to the medicinal and spiritual qualities of the plant world, encouraging reflection on the interplay between our inner landscapes and the outer environment as we listen quietly to the guidance of the plants.
Seated in a circle, participants adopt a posture of openness, receiving each sip of the herbal infusion as a sacred offering. The herbal infusion serves not just as nourishment but as a vehicle for introspection, healing and connection to the natural world. As we tap into the spirit-heart-mind connection, participants feel into their senses, allowing the herbal infusion to guide them into a deeper understanding of the wisdom of nature. This is the time to use all of your senses to feel into the spirit of the plant and our mother Earth. From these quiet moments, the ritual resonates with the teachings of plant spirit medicine, illuminating the inner wisdom held within nature and ourselves.
The ceremony culminates in the collective sharing of insights and experiences. Participants speak not just to express what was seen and felt from within, but to witness the transformative power of vulnerability and connection: what has the wisdom of nature shared with each of us? We acknowledge the shared energy of the plants and of the circle, recognizing how the medicinal properties of the plant extend beyond the physical. Each sip becomes a manifestation of intention, a reminder of the healing potential inherent in both the plants and the bonds formed within the group. The herbal tea mediation ceremony serves as a bridge, connecting our individual journeys to a greater web of existence, fostering a deep connection to personal intuition and sense of unity and purpose connecting all of us to the inherent wisdom of the natural world.
