• What is a sacred medicine ceremony?
  A sacred medicine ceremony is a guided, intentional experience with plant or spirit medicine—used traditionally for healing, spiritual insight, and connection. It is held in a safe, respectful space, often led by a trained facilitator, shaman, or medicine guide.
• Is this a religious or spiritual practice?
  Sacred medicine is not tied to any one religion, but it is deeply spiritual. People of all backgrounds come to ceremony seeking connection—with themselves, the Earth, or something greater.
• Can I attend if I’m feeling broken, lost, or unsure?
  Yes. Especially then. Many people come to sacred medicine at moments of deep questioning or pain. You don’t need to be “ready”—just open and willing to follow our protocols for preparation and integration.
• How should I prepare for the ceremony?
  Follow the guidelines given by your facilitator (e.g., dietary restrictions, digital detox). Spend time reflecting and set a gentle intention. You don’t need to have all the answers—just an open heart.
• How can I prepare emotionally and spiritually?
  Reflect on your intentions through journaling, meditation, or time in nature. Ask: “What am I ready to let go of?” or “What am I open to receiving?”
• What should I avoid before the ceremony?
  Avoid alcohol, recreational drugs, and heavy or processed foods, as advised by your facilitator. These restrictions help you enter the experience with clarity and openness.
• What should I bring with me?
  Bring only what brings you comfort: a journal, water bottle, cozy blanket, or meaningful objects. Most importantly, bring your presence.
• Will I be safe during the ceremony?
  Yes, your safety—physical, emotional, and spiritual—is a priority. Reputable facilitators create a secure, supportive space and are there to help you throughout the process.
• What can I expect to experience?
  Everyone’s journey is different. You may feel emotions, have visions, or connect with deep truths—or you might feel peace, stillness, or resistance. All experiences are valid.
• What kind of healing can happen?
  Healing varies: emotional release, forgiveness, renewed purpose, or spiritual connection. The process may challenge you but is often deeply meaningful.
• Will it be difficult or painful?
  Sometimes, yes. Healing may bring up buried pain or emotions, but you are held in a safe space. Discomfort can signal transformation.
• What if I feel scared or overwhelmed during the ceremony?
  It’s okay to feel fear. Breathe, lean into the support of facilitators, and trust the process. You’re being held with care.
• Can I control what happens during the ceremony?
  The medicine works best when you release control. Surrendering doesn’t mean losing yourself—it means trusting the journey.
• What if I don’t feel anything?
  Trust that something is still happening. Healing can be subtle. Be patient and gentle with yourself.
• What if I cry, purge, or behave strangely?
  This is normal and part of the release. Crying, shaking, purging, or laughing are natural responses. You are in a judgment-free space.
• Will I be judged for my emotions or behavior?
  Not at all. The space is held with compassion and non-judgment. Every part of your experience is welcome.
• Can I go alone or should I bring someone I trust?
  Either is fine. You’ll be supported by the facilitators and group even if you come alone. Bringing a trusted companion can be beautiful, too.
• What if I’ve experienced trauma? Is this safe for me?
  Plant medicine can help heal trauma but must be approached with care. Share your history with your facilitator so they can support you properly.
• Can I attend if I’m on medication?
  Some medications (like antidepressants) can interact dangerously with certain sacred plants. Always disclose your medications to your facilitator.
• Will it “fix” me?
  You are not broken. The ceremony won’t “fix” you but may help you reconnect with your truest self. Healing is a journey, not a quick fix.
• Will I still be “me” after the ceremony?
  Yes—but likely a more aligned version of yourself. The medicine doesn’t change your essence; it helps you return to it.
• What happens after the ceremony? Will I feel different?
  Many feel lighter or clearer afterward. Others feel tender or introspective. Both are normal. The journey continues after the ceremony.
• What is integration and why is it important?
  Integration means carrying your insights into daily life. This is where real change happens—through journaling, therapy, rest, and aligned action.
• How do I integrate the experience?
  Ask yourself: “What did I learn? What needs to change?” Support yourself through journaling, talking to a guide or therapist, and making conscious life choices.
• How do I talk to my family or loved ones about attending a ceremony?
  Speak from the heart. Explain that this is a healing path that feels meaningful to you. Reassure them about the safety and care involved. Give them space to ask questions and be open.
