October 7- ongoing 2021 - CONSULTATION group for INtegration providers
This will be our third time offering this course for Integration providers. This group is a 12 meeting, a bi-weekly group for therapists, nurses, healers of different modalities who offer preparation or integration in their practice. The group incorporates a psycho-educational component and case presentations by participants, every meeting. This format allows for participants to both learn new theories and modalities of psycho-spiritual healing, integrate them, and learn from others in case consultation.
This is a unique opportunity to learn and share within a community of like-minded individuals. Reach out with any questions!
september 29, 2021 - ongoing INTEGRATION group “transforming together”
We want to invite you to our upcoming group - “Transforming Together” – 6 month integration and process group. Through out the last 15 months we have seen the power, beauty, depth, vulnerability, connection and healing power of groups. Be it personal or collective change and transformation, we have seen in these times that a group that shares values, connects, is honest, supportive and safe can help its members and communities change and transform. That inspired and informed us to create this process and integration group.
Here is more information about the group. Feel free to email us for questions or registration: ( this is a limited group and we have only a few more openings):
Groups can open up a shared consciousness, in which individuals start representing and expressing issues that are alive for each other (like fear, shame, excitement, love etc). We found that listening to these themes as they emerge activates the individual inquiry. Working with this in a group context can support individuals to connect to their body and present moment experience, activate resonance among group members and could trigger your own process. This can enhance the feeling of safety and trust among group members, allowing individuals to bring more of their experience forward, allowing for deeper curiosity, reflection, and transformation on individual and group levels. The group will include individuals sharing, group process, psychoeducation, and experiential practices.
Who is it for:
Individuals who use psychedelics and entheogens as part of their psycho-spiritual healing and growth practices.
People who are committed to a long term process of sharing, reflection, processing, and experiential work.
Individuals who are looking to go deeper within community.
Open to anyone, no need for academic qualifications.
Develop interpersonal (between people) and intraperosnal (within oneself) intelligence and skills.
July 14, 2021- Double blind Webinar
This webinar we will explore the growing topic of Trip Sitting. I have the pleasure to join Double Blind to share some thoughts on the conversation. Check out their website for more information. Below the text from their IG post:
“Trip sitting—or holding space for someone while they’re on a psychedelic—is a skill. 👥 There’s an infinite number of things that can happen to a person while they’re tripping, from fear and unprocessed trauma coming to the surface to joy, laughter, and overwhelm. And who they’re with plays an important role in shaping how the experience unfolds. 🦋 A trip sitter might simply be with the person, in case they need a hand to hold or water. In other cases, facilitators choose to play a more active role, such as playing music, lighting incense, or asking questions.
In our upcoming webinar on July 15, Temple of the Way of Light facilitator and integration coach Deanna Rogers (@deanna_claire) will discuss the fundamentals of trip sitting. She’ll cover what to do and not do while trip sitting, how to navigate challenging situations with others while on a psychedelic, how to reduce harm, and more. There will also be time for questions from our community.
Register now via the link in our bio! This event will be recorded and shared with all registrants afterward.”

Oct 18, 2020 - Apr 2, 2021 - Archetypes of transformation: a journey to liberation and self-knowledge
This event will be in collaboration with Dr. Ido Cohen from The Integration Circle. More below:
We have many aspects to ourselves, like a constellation of parts that live within us. When we work with those different parts of ourselves, we can learn how to build a collaborative relationship with our unique personality and renegotiate some of the roles these parts have played in our past. Carl Jung called these parts archetypes. Archetypes and symbols are some of the oldest ways humans make sense of the world both consciously and unconsciously. Our goal in this workshop series is to explore Self through inquiring into our relationships with these parts that live inside and drive our beliefs, behaviors, and view of the world. This can encourage curiosity and ultimately promote more choice, a sense of freedom, presence, and authenticity.
We have focused on some of the major archetypes that arise in plant medicine and psychedelic journeys to help provide a framework for navigating the experience and integration. Plant Medicines and psychedelics can be tools for connecting more deeply with ourselves and can be supportive in the healing process. They can also be overwhelming, confusing, disorienting and disintegrating. By having more tools it can provide roadmaps and frameworks to support grounding these experiences by providing context.
Using Jungian psychology, somatic experiencing, attachment and trauma theories and shamanic cosmology, we will explore our critics history, how it lives in our psyche and body and how we can begin to change our relationship with it. This will be a psycho educational process-oriented series using experiential inquiries. Deanna and Ido have facilitated and guided groups in various settings for the last 8 years, and draw upon their training, experiential learning and work to facilitate a safe and curious space that allows deeper inquiry into our present process. The following sessions will be 10 am -1 pm PST on the following dates.

february 18-26, 2020 - Women’s Integration Intensive at the Temple
In February I will be returning to the Amazon to be offering a women’s Integration Intensive at the Temple of the Way of Light with their amazing facilitators and for this retreat all female healers. There is something magical that happens when a group of women get together and this will be an opportunity for women to do this deep work together in a safe container. The Temple has been in operation for 13 years and work exclusively with Shipibo healers.
It is a passion of mine to work with and support women in finding their authentic power. My role in this retreat will be to provide daytime processing to help bring clarity and provocation to the medicine container. The retreat is full with a waitlist but stay tuned for future retreats!
