Heart and Spirit Plant Offerings
Rooted in Expansion
"When we work with our allies, the plants, we partner with the Divine intelligence of Mother Earth. We are willing to surrender to a process of healing and expanded conscious awareness to re-awaken to the truth of our Divine Beauty and Wholeness." - Ron Nikel
The Sacred Plants
During ceremony, we work with plants that fall into two categories, HEART and SPIRIT (entheogen and psychedelic plants)
The HEART medicines are derived from flowers and trees that originate from Africa, North America, South America and Asia that opens the connection to our heart center and gives us more access to love and compassion for ourselves and others, thus offering the potential for deep inner healing and transformation. These magical plants include:
Kanna: a succulent found in South Africa
Blue Lotus: a water flower from Egypt
Passion Flower: a flower from Southeastern USA, Central & South America
White Lily: A South American water lily
Red Lily: A water lily from Bangladesh and India
Sassafras: a North American tree used as an activator
Acacia: a North American tree used as an activator
Syrian Rue: known as the "burning bush" found in the Middle East
The SPIRIT or psychedelic plants come from fungi found in Asia, North and South America and can help to facilitate connection within the spirit realm and to transverse into deeper levels of consciousness. During a ceremony, we will work with various types of psilocybin mushrooms.
The Ceremony Experience
The ceremony will be conducted in a safe, private location with Ron Nikel and Paul Jarreau as the lead facilitators with the support of additional team members to hold space. Each individual participant will be encouraged to take an inward journey while laying down, using an eye-mask that is provided. The purpose of joining ceremony is to trust the wisdom of the medicine and your body's intelligence as you surrender to all that arises in the mind, body, spirit and heart space.
Sacred ceremony music will be played along with intentional moments of silence. Some ceremonies will include a sound journey experience led by Sound Practioner, Paul Jarreau. The music and sound journey will be used to assist the medicine journeyer in navigating the plant medicine experiences.
All ceremonies end with a homemade meal (accommodating all dietary preferences) and a closing integration circle. Fruit juice, coconut water, filtered water and fruit are provided throughout the ceremony as needed.
Our classic ceremony format is a daylong experience that generally starts at 8:30 am and will end around 8pm. It is suggested that participants give themselves the entire following day to ground and nurture themselves.
