Earth Medicine Integration coaching is about helping people to process their experiences with Shamanic Earth Medicines such as Kambo, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, Bufo, Rapeh, and Sananga while upholding the sacredness of the spirits of these medicines.
Having 2 Masters Degrees in Psychology with a specialization in Trauma and Addiction and working in the healing field for over 21 years, I innerstand the world of Clinical Application. Although helpful, it doesn't model the Wholistic Approach to healing.
Many of us don't come from a background where we grew up working with these medicines early, so our process can look and feel different. The maturity level of the individual's consciousness determines the journey along with prior work. In indigenous cultures, integration comes in the form of working with medicine more deeply, special diets, and connecting to the elements and rituals such as spiritual dancing, energy work, and sound healing.
In the Ecology of Clinical Shamanism Institute, the Earth Medicine Integration Coaches not only learn how to guide people more deeply along their Shamanic Path but are also trained in other healing modalities, such as
~ Shadow Work
~Inner Child Healing
~Trauma and Addiction
~Grief and Loss
~Womb/ Sexual healing
What also makes the Institute different from other Plant Medicine Coaching programs is that the students are trained as Kambo and Psilocybin Facilitators who know how to hold space thoroughly. And they go through a training of Rapeh and Sananga, unlike what you may find on most YouTube videos.
The Initiation process is traditionally based, led by myself and my mentor, an Elder Ayahuasca Shaman. This process helps to integrate the wisdom of the medicines and deepen the connection that you're not going to experience doing any other way and is highly sacred.
Having proper guidance during your journeys (before and after) is vital to the healing process because your life will change after, which was the point of coming to the medicine. Anchoring the Wisdom is one of our specialties, and working with Qualified, Trained Professionals who completed the program will support your process.
Below is a directory of students who completed the Ecology Clinical Shamanism Institute training and are taking individuals for Soul Sessions.
Whether you have come to one of our retreats or have sat elsewhere, their education, wisdom, and experience-along with their specialties-may just be what you need to embody the wisdom and sacredness of these beautiful Earth Medicines.
How many Soul Sessions do you and your Coach determine one needs? I highly recommend at least one.
Feel free to contact them to schedule your Soul Session.
