Frankincense in the morning on a

New column out in on a weakness I see in the psychedelic/entheogen “underground” …failure to protect Source. Whether it be natural resources, and astral knowledge, or ethical synthesizers/harvesters/cultivators…they are all at risk and not always given the protections and reverence they deserve… I have thoughts…link in bio

Setting up for a couples today! Traveling in from Seattle. I love couples sessions and don’t get to do them very often. It’s going to be a good day. ❤️❤️✨

I drove a bajillion miles (6100) and for a million years (over 100 hours) in the last couple weeks…and nothing beats this spot right here…I’m home and happy to be. And I already miss her so much…. 🥹❤️✨

Road trippin with my #1 girl. See ya in a couple weeks.

Returning client today. Always an honor. And this is the last one for me for a while… Leaving Friday to drive cross country moving my daughter to Rhode Island! Bittersweet milestone bringing her to New England from once I came around the same age. Wow. But first, a whole big day…

Entering a new era in the Oregon state drug policy Sept 1st, as recriminalization takes effect. What does that mean for access to psychedelics in therapeutic, ceremonial, recreational and other settings and the people using, facilitating and producing these substances? Honestly, we don’t really know yet, but in a way a beautiful window in time is coming to a close…and we need to start talking about it and the way forward…. I wrote a little bit about it in my column this week, but I have a lot more to say, curious and open to see what comes next, and would love to hear from other what they think, how they are shifting and adjusting, or what they think is ahead!

New art for the office…thank you I love your art!

A new shipment of little friends came in!! Oh my look at those sweet little face. I cannot even express how much I love collecting and using kokeshi dolls in my practice ❤️

Not gonna lie, been going through it lately…
A think a lot of us have been… But yesterday I felt a shift like pressure release valve somewhere around my heart was opened….Ease, acceptance and the perspective of being “on the other side” began to creep into the now empty space over night….

Taking advantage of the fresh energy I came in early today and did some self care and grounding before getting to work. About to meet with first client of the day…pulled a card of direction for today, my work, and my path….got this…Heard!! Understood and received.

Growth can look like so many things…like no longer fighting the battles that are behind you…I am so proud of my client today and the fierce battle she put up for autonomy over choice in her own thoughts, emotions, and reactions…she has such a tender giving heart…today she decided to give all that love and goodness to herself, and not let herself run away from it but rather surrender to it and stay there and take it….and after quite a time….she allowed herself to finally rest…as she said she “let herself go on a walk all by herself for fu***ng once” ❤️🍄‍🟫✨

every single client who shows up and does the work and examines their mind, heart and soul…they will come out stronger, more aligned, more in love with themselves, and giving less of a f**k what anyone else thinks about it…or them :)

Youngest client to date had a session yesterday…incredible young woman who had a great deal of athletic success while very young…and a few years later is currently battling her relationship with her body…working on repatterning her ideas around what it means to care for herself…and the value of the self and what gives meaning…she did the homework dug deep and came in ready….really beautiful and peaceful journey day…left feeling lighter and happier than her mother had seen her in years…now we wait and observe and work with what came/comes up…the integration begins ❤️✨

Just finished up another and today was a tough one…client fighting to loosen the bonds of addiction…The Eagles played a big part….and ultimately a beautiful release and reset ending with an extended period of rest. And now the real work of moving forward starts… baby steps one at a time.

Today was one of those rare days where a client had little to no effects from a large dose of psyche-delics, for no apparent reason…always a frustrating and disappointing experience..not the fun or exciting part of the work…we will check in tomorrow and see how he wants to move forward.

Had this ever happened to you or your client? How did you handle it and did you push forward and have a breakthrough? Try something else? Or…?

Often clients are relatively silent and fairly still with no outward signs of the inner journey for hours on end as I gently observe and hold space without intruding on or altering their process and path…not knowing sometimes ever, but at least for awhile, the whole universe of things happening in their mind body and spirit…that’s what today’s was like… my client today went to the restroom a couple times and drank some water…had some wide eyed stares and big sighs…some yawns..asked for a towel once for sweaty palms…and that’s about all I knew for 5.5 hours…

he is carrying some deep wounds around worth and image from childhood and healing from some recent big heartbreak. He is tender and raw and there have been a lot of tears lately and he hasn’t been able to see that there will be an end to the pain… so I think we both were a little bit anxious about the content and emotional toll of the journey today…but he was prepared, well informed and ready…

so when after 5.5 hours he sat up…stared at the wall for a few minutes and then slowly bowed his head and started crying silently into his hands my heart sank a little…and I gave him the space to let it all up and out…and when he was finally ready to put words to the experience…he said the following things.

1) he felt a huge weight had been lifted, he felt lighter than he had in years and just a huge sense of gratitude for the people in his life….he wanted to call his mother and thank her for everything…and also forgive his ex wife and thank her for putting him on the path to awareness and healing…
#2) he did expect to be so tired, like he had been running a marathon all day, his whole body felt the exhaustion of the work he had done…

3) why isn’t this stuff legal? Why is it hard to get/do? Why doesn’t every person have access to it? Why are we allowed to have enough alcohol to kill ourselves.with zero upside at all…as much as we want and more…but these substances are withheld and criminalized…

Phew, can I tell you how my heart grew hearing all of that…and the sincere warm contented smile he had on his face when he left…that’s what I live for…❤️✨

Yes! To all of it. Amen and good night….

Return client today…there is no greater affirmation of right path, tools and purpose than a repeat client…and in June it’s 4 out of 6 of the sessions I will be facilitating…this life is so so good and I am grateful every day for all the brave souls who trust me to walk this path with them…. ✨❤️🍄‍🟫 the honor of my life…from the bottom of my heart and soul, thank you for the gift of this life, with all of its complexity, darkness and hardship…I have never been more at peace with my path and this existence…

Tomorrow’s setup ✨❤️ this time setting up for sessions to me is as exciting as leaving cookies out for Santa as a small child, knowing a day of wonder, joy, and connection is ahead…so much hope and anticipation for what’s to come….always.

Back to back this week…today is first, and was a long beautiful intense one. The full range of human emotion. A strong, brilliant, capable woman doing some deep healing and reflection…Stacked 🍄‍🟫 and ❤️…such a gift and a blessing to be lucky enough to do this work with my life. I can’t express how much it fills me with love, lights, and peace to witness and help these incredible souls who trust me to walk beside them for a while on their journeys… Thank you thank you ✨

Seeing clients on my birthday has been so very sweet, this year. One client brought a party in a box complete with two party hats she handmade…I’m the cougar she’s a cheetah…Reallly reminding me I’m in the right place at the right time with the right people…all the time. it’s an incredible life ❤️✨🍄

Lilac season….my favorite!

One of my favorite little Kokeshi buddies has found his human and is having a ….

One tool I work with is affirmations. This has developed a lot over the last year and seems to be a part of the practice that not only really gets through to people and they find a lot of context and connection for their journey through, it’s also been a process of me leaning into my intuition and channeling processes when writing them. This was #6 of 7 for this client…

Always nice to see the ten of cups! ✨❤️🥰

Sometimes happens on a Monday… I love this client’s Kokeshi. Truly one of a kind. Gentle, deep, healing session for a sweet, heart-centered young man finding his way back to his path and natural gifts… so grateful for my clients and this work… ❤️✨

My second column is out I’ll be real with you, all I ever wanted to do (outside of my private life😉) with my life was walk psychedelic reals with people, live in a kind and peaceful world, and be a writer…well look at me now. Doing the first and the third with my heart tuned to the middle in, on the daily and I love it so much.

Thank you thank you to everyone who keeps showing up to do the work with me, and with each other all over the place elsewhere…this is important and real work and we need to talk about it…

It’s Friday, you know what that means? my favorite day of the week. ❤️

Right next to the crossword puzzle, where I belong! 😜👌🏼Thank you and looking forward to where we can all take this conversation…

New (to me) Kokeshi dolls came in! Ready for some new clients!!

Hello, old friends ❤️ guides/facilitators/holders of others…when it’s your time for a what are your go-to medicines?

I have the most generous and kind clients and colleagues… In this case, I’m honored to say she is both… Received this gorgeous gift today and will be putting it to use every single day forever. Ha ha. I’ve always thought that the typical weird plastic lighters were such an eyesore in the sacred session space and now that problem is solved, forever. I love it so much I can’t stop looking at it and it feels perfect in my hand. Thank you thank you at it was such a pleasure to see you today, such a pleasure to know you and a delight and honor to share our knowledge and path together.
