Upskill your psychedelic integration toolkit
Learn effective Somatic tools, Methods & Models
Support your clients in Psychedelic Transformation & Personal Growth
In recent years, the literature and research around working with sacred plant medicines and psychedelics have grown, however, what’s still missing in the plant medicine world is what comes after the ceremonies. This stage of the work is known as Integration, and it is at this point that the “real” work begins.
The profound healing experiences with plant medicine do not end with the ceremony. The real work begins at this stage. How we use the tools and how we embody the insights after the ceremony will determine how our lives change.
Plant medicine experiences often bring up traumatic memories and imprints from the past. Without the right awareness, understanding, and care, participants can be re-triggered and unsupported, which can lead to a deeper experience of re-traumatization. This is prevalent in the world of plant medicine.
Unfortunately, the integration process after a ceremonial experience is not given enough importance in this field, nor is there ample and adequate training for integration coaches to understand how we can help participants process trauma memories that can arise in the plant medicine space, respond effectively, or support the integration of plant medicine experiences fully in body, mind, and in our participants.
This 7-week, 50 hour practitioner training will provide students with an understanding of how to support the integration process with awareness, attention, and compassion, and is suitable for those interested in working as plant medicine integration practitioners, coaches & guides for individual and group integration sessions.
This 50-hour Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner Training will teach you how to:
– Offer psychedelic integration sessions.
– Expand your somatic toolkit.
– Deepen your therapeutic presence.
– Support your clients to make meaning of their plant medicine experience.
– Guide others towards transforming their insights into EMBODIED CHANGE.
SOMATIC PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION
SOMATIC PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION
In the sacred medicine culture, Plant Medicine Integration is often seen as an afterthought and is not well understood. As a result, its critical role in the healing process is frequently overlooked.
To achieve deep healing, it’s essential to recognize the importance of integration. It should be considered just as vital as the medicine itself. Understanding what integration entails is the first step toward embracing its significance.
The Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model is grounded in a trauma-informed approach and inner directed healing. The model supports participants embody their insights from the sacred medicine experience. By turning these insights into actionable behaviours and responses to everyday challenges, your clients can truly embody the wisdom gained.
The objective of the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model is to support clients to embody the insights from their sacred medicine journey into a living reality, rather than fleeting experiences. Through prioritising safety, compassion, inner-directed somatic inquiry and trauma-informed skills, you will learn the skills to support clients need to digest, metabolise, expand and anchor their psychedelic insights into deep and lasting personal transformation.
“Atira has embodied the wisdom of trauma and plant medicine skillfully together. This work is essential and should be embodied by all plant medicine facilitators and in all plant medicine ceremonies and workshops.”

REVOLUTIONISING TRAUMA HEALING WITH BODY-ORIENTED THERAPIES AND PLANT MEDICINE
In recent decades, groundbreaking advancements in body-oriented therapies and neuroscience have transformed our understanding of trauma. We now know how deeply interconnected the body and mind are, how trauma affects the brain, and how it is stored in the body and nervous system. This knowledge has revolutionized trauma recovery and the integration of healing insights and experiences.
THE ROLE OF PLANT MEDICINE
Plant medicines interact with neurotransmitters in the brain and work somatically with the intelligence wired into the nervous system. This connection is why users often experience various body sensations, such as heat, cold, purging, or yawning. The language of the nervous system is sensations, and plant medicines uniquely engage this automatic nervous system in the healing process.
