Intend your goals & collect insights with regular integration
Walking the medicine path with awareness
Intend where you're going
Where to? Protocols regularly reveal that the path itself is often the destination. Ground your journey with intention, the direction in which you are headed & what you hope to achieve. Intention is simply pointed awareness for where you would like to go, what you would like to learn or what you wish to leave behind.
