Courtney and I prepared for this training with quite a few Kambo ceremonies, integration therapy, and mentorship. The amount of time we worked together was probably around 9 months, though the completion of the training completed over the course of 3 months, with graduation taking place at my New Hampshire retreat in 2024.

Our intentions for this training were for her to be supported with honing in on her psychic gifts, learning more about the truth of who she is, and coming into right relationship with her inner medicine woman and inner alchemist. We focused on her learning how to serve microdose therapy with integrity, safety, and reverence along with learning how to serve psilocybin in ceremony.

Here’s what was included:

In person:

-3 mushroom ceremonies to deepen her relationship to the medicine with the third including a despacho ceremony 

-3 solo mushroom ceremonies prior to serving in ceremony

-1 Kambo cleanse before first mushroom ceremony (she also sat with Kambo about 7 times before we started training)

Online:

-12 weeks, introduction plus 11 modules

-opening up & clearing out energetic centers as a masculine being

-connecting deeper to God and his inner truth

-healing from ancestral trauma that doesn't serve God

-alchemizing limiting beliefs, stories, outdated conditioning & programming that doesn't serve him or God

-learning how to co create with his kundalini (sexual & creative energy) in a way that allows him to use this energy as fuel for his service, magick, alchemy, remembrance, inner medicine, creative endeavors, his relationships, and everything in between 

-learning how to expand his kundalini energy on command so he doesn't leak or deplete himself of this sacred energy

-learning more about the sacredness of the life force
