Those that live in the jungle with indigenous communities do not typically follow any specific preparation and integration program. Among other reasons, this is often because their lives are already so intertwined with the medicine, meaning the jump from daily life to a ceremony and back to daily life is minimal and significantly easier to navigate than those living in a WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich & Democratic) environment.

However, a traditional Western/WEIRD lifestyle is generally not optimal as an environment for preparing and integrating plant medicine ceremonies. The stressors of work, distractions of modernity and toxic by-products of a consumerist and highly individualistic culture can be the complete antithesis of a retreat experience. Since it can be shocking and lonely to go back to our Western culture, we have created a strong integration framework to help you prepare and assimilate your experiences in a practical and lasting way.
