In this episode I discuss my experiences of using painting as a way of integrating my ayahuasca retreat, talking about my offering this for others in Ecuador, and my continued efforts at creating safe spaces for allowing others to explore this type of integration.
Other topics that arise:
- My plan to facilitate integration circles
- The challenges of integrating
- Bypassing the “Left brain”
- Art therapy and creative thinking
- Why we need safety to integrate
- Taking the initiative to heal ourselves
- The Jungian “Inner Schooling” art therapy
- Asking yourself what “process” you’re in
Song in intro- "Light of the Mountain" by Brandon Tilt
I acknowledge that I learn, grow and heal on the unceded ancestral lands of the Kwikwetlam first nation, the Stolo and the Tseil-Watuth first nations. These lands were never abandoned nor surrendered by those with the ancestral rights to steward and protect these lands.
I honor and respect the elders, the children, the land stewards, the land protectors, the medicine keepers, and the men and women of all indigenous nations.
Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and their spirits.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, All my relations.
