INTEGRATION 101
Walking the medicine path with awareness
Intend your goals and collect insights with regular integration
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.

Integrate: pause, reflect and draw insights
Often referred to as the "sacred pause," integrating is the simple exercise of taking time to reflect. Like intentionality, integration carries a high frequency of mindfulness. Your new wisdom has the ability to cultivate new freedoms, injecting old ways of thinking or unhealthy habits with spaciousness
