Journey Work is our ovearching framework where expanded states seamlessly integrate into an ongoing coaching relationship. Rather than treating profound experiences as separate events, this is coaching that naturally incorporates preparation, breakthrough experiences, integration, and gentle exploration as they serve your deeper development.

Within this container, we might engage in regular coaching conversations, prepare for upcoming ceremonies, work with dreams when they feel alive, facilitate guided journeys, and support integration of profound experiences. All of these flow together organically based on what's most needed at any given time.

Journey Work involves:

• An ongoing coaching relationship as the foundation for all expanded states work

• Tracking recurring themes that surface across different experiences and modalities

• Supporting preparation for upcoming ceremonies, retreats, or intensive practices

• Processing and integrating experiences as their implications continue to emerge

• Working with modalities such as breathwork to deepen the process

• Bridging insights from expanded states into embodied changes in daily life

• Navigating identity shifts and life changes that profound work catalyses

• Providing ongoing support between formal experiences when integration deepens

Why this approach:

The combination of depth-oriented coaching with expanded states work creates one of the most powerful transformational containers available. While profound experiences can catalyse extraordinary shifts, they often remain isolated peaks without proper relational support. Conversely, traditional coaching, however skillful, rarely accesses the depths that expanded states can reveal. Together, they create a synergy where breakthrough and coaching amplify each other, allowing transformation to unfold with both depth and sustainability.

For whom:

• Those committed to sustained work who want comprehensive support across multiple experiences and extended integration periods.

• Particularly valuable for people planning significant experiences, such as transformational retreats and vision questions, and would like to approach them in the context of a longer journey with coaching support

• Also ideal for those engaging with multiple modalities or navigating significant life transitions catalyzed by expanded states work.

Format:

• Typically a 6-month container with regular sessions that can include ongoing developmental work, preparation, and integration, and various modalities as needed.

• Container can be renewed or reopened as transformation continues to unfold.

Preparation creates the conditions for meaningful non-ordinary state experiences. It’s about establishing the inner and outer conditions that allow profound experiences to serve your deeper development rather than remaining isolated peak moments.

Preparation is transformative work. Here, you clarify what's truly ready to unfold and create the container for it to emerge safely.

Preparation involves:

• Exploring what's emerging in your life

• Clarifying intentions that emerge from presence rather than trying to control outcomes

• Working with fears, expectations, concerns, and resistance

• Ensuring appropriate set and setting for experiences

• Engaging in supportive practices

• Establishing somatic anchors

• Education about non-ordinary states

For whom:

• Anyone preparing for consciousness-expanding experiences such as breathwork, silent retreats, transformational retreats, psychedelic journeys, vision quests dark retreats, and other practices

• Essential for those new to this territory and valuable for experienced practitioners seeking deeper preparation.

Format:

Individual sessions leading up to experiences, or ongoing sessions as part of larger Journey Work container.

Integration supports the natural process by which experiences reorganize your entire way of being. Rather than trying to interpret experiences, we work with what continues to unfold—new sensitivities, shifting perspectives, emerging capacities.

Broadly speaking, integration unfolds in three phases: immediate (first 24 hours), unfolding (days to weeks), longer-term (months)

The most profound changes often happen weeks or months after an experience as its implications gradually reshape how you inhabit your life.

Integration involves:

• Working with material that surfaces

• Distinguishing genuine insight from spiritual inflation

• Embodying insights into new ways of being

• Navigating identity shifts and existential reorientation

• Supporting life changes that follow profound experiences

• Processing what continues to unfold over time

• Support in case of post-experience difficulties

For whom:

• Anyone who has had altered state experiences and wants support integrating them—whether from retreats, breathwork sessions, psychedelic journeys, vision quests, or any other experience within the scope of my practice

• People who have experienced spontaneous awakenings and other unplanned openings

• Especially valuable profound experiences that are difficult to make sense of or embody.

Format:

Sessions following experiences, ongoing integration work over weeks or months, or as part of comprehensive Journey Work approach.

This offering encompasses a spectrum from gentle guided journeys to more intensive breakthrough experiences, each uniquely crafted based on what wants to emerge and your readiness for different depths of exploration.

All sessions follow ritual structure—opening ceremonies that mark crossing into sacred time, the journey itself held within a supportive container, and immediate integration.

Guided journeys available:

• Medicine walk and other nature-based experiences

• Imaginal journeying

• Shamanic journeying

• Other journeys (without substances) might be available based on your current needs and resonance

Breakthrough experiences available:

• Extended breathwork sessions (90+ minutes) for catalyzing shifts

• Soul quest—solo time in nature for vision and guidance

For whom:

Suitable for those wanting to explore expanded states within a coaching container, whether seeking gentle exploration or intensive transformation.

Format:

Session lengths vary depending on the practice. Can be one-time experiences, including preparation and integration sessions as needed, or part of ongoing work.

Dreams are one of the most accessible expanded states we experience regularly, yet few people learn to work with them consciously. This offering provides guidance for engaging with dreams as sources of wisdom and creative inspiration.

Active imagination extends dreamwork into waking consciousness, allowing you to continue conversations with dream figures, explore symbolic landscapes, and receive ongoing guidance from the unconscious mind.

The skills you develop in dreamwork—navigating non-ordinary consciousness, working with archetypal energies, receiving guidance from beyond ego—transfer directly to other modalities while offering their own profound transformations.

Dreamwork involves:

• Working with dreams as living experiences you can re-enter and explore.

• Working with recurring dreams, nightmares, and archetypal dreams

• Connecting dream wisdom to waking life challenges and questions

• Developing ongoing relationship with the dream realm

• Learning to lucid dream

Active imagination involves:

• Continuing dialogues with dream figures and inner characters

• Completing unfinished dream experiences,

• Receiving guidance directly from the unconscious

• Creative expression inspired by unconscious material

• Integration of unconscious wisdom into conscious life

For whom:

Those interested in the wisdom of dreams and the unconscious, whether new to dreamwork or seeking to deepen existing practice. Valuable for anyone wanting to develop greater connection with their inner wisdom.

Format:

Sessions can focus on specific dreams or developing active imagination skills. Often combined with other modalities as part of a larger journey.

The imaginal realm offers a gateway to inner wisdom—a space where your psyche naturally communicates through images, symbols, stories, archetypes, and felt experience. Imaginal journeying is the practice of learning to listen and be in conversation with this dimension of experience.

This work develops essential capacities that serve all consciousness exploration: learning to balance participation with receptivity, navigating deeper depths of experience, and building trust in participatory and embodied ways of knowing. While imaginal journeying is intrinsically valuable and transformational in its own right, it is a powerful complement to other expanded states work.

In this practice, we work together to enter your inner landscape and engage in genuine dialogue with whatever emerges. Unlike visualization, this involves real encounters with images, figures, symbolic landscapes, and archetypal energies that arise spontaneously from your unconscious.

Imaginal Journeying involves:

• Entering a receptive, embodied state where imagery can arise naturally

• Engaging in dialogue inner figures and exploring symbolic landscapes

• Receiving guidance through direct encounter with unconscious wisdom

• Working with whatever themes, questions, or images feel alive for you

• Learning to trust expressions of your psyche without needing to take them literally

• Integrating insights and maintaining connection to what emerged

What journeys might explore:

Life transitions seeking clarity, creative projects needing direction, relationship dynamics requiring understanding, spiritual questions, healing through symbolic encounter, discovering your deeper gifts, or connecting with separated parts of yourself that hold keys to wholeness.

For whom:

Those drawn to inner exploration and symbolic ways of knowing. Valuable for developing intuition and creativity, preparing for intensive consciousness work, or anyone wanting to access essential capacities for expanded states in a gentle, supported format. No prior experience required.

Format:

One-time explorations or ongoing practice to develop your imaginal capacities.

If you're drawn to consciousness exploration but unsure where to begin, or if you've had experiences that feel incomplete or confusing, this offering provides space to explore what might serve your development most deeply.

Together, we explore your relationship with expanded states, what's currently surfacing in your life, and how different approaches might support your unfolding.

For those who've had challenging or disorienting experiences, this also provides frameworks for understanding what happened and support for moving forward with greater clarity and groundedness.

What it can involve:

• Exploring your history with expanded states (if any) and what's drawing you to this work

• Understanding your intentions and what transformation you're sensing

• Exploring microdosing approaches, including legal alternatives, as well as microdosing classic psychedelics for those in jurisdictions where it's permitted

• Providing frameworks for making sense of non-ordinary states when needed

• Reviewing different modalities and approaches available

• Sensing together what feels most aligned with your current edge

• Addressing any concerns, questions, or hesitations

• Creating stabilising practices if feeling ungrounded from recent experiences

• Creating a potential path forward

For whom:

• Anyone curious about expanded states work but unsure where to start.

• Those who've had experiences elsewhere and want perspective on integration needs.

• People considering intensive practices who want guidance.

• Also valuable for those who've had confusing or challenging experiences and need orientation.

Format:

Single 90-minute session, either in-person or online. Can be repeated if ongoing support is needed. No commitment to further work required.
