Savor. Celebrate. Explore. Enhance. Integrate.

For many of us, it feels best to have a few hours alone after a big engagement with 5-MeO-DMT, where it can be helpful to write about what happened while still fresh, or perhaps record your own voice, or make a video about your experience. What may feel incredibly indelible—even if indescribable—immediately after, can fade like a dream if not fully documented. We find that this honoring process is essential to getting the greatest possible benefit from the 5-MeO-DMT experience, and can also help to reduce unwelcome re-activations.

One or both of us will meet with you for an initial integration session later the same day while you are still at Sky Mountain. We will support you in beginning to articulate the feelings, sensations, images, and/or insights that came through. Both blissful experiences and more challenging encounters can be greatly enhanced by sharing what happened with someone who has had experience with both. What may have initially felt confusing, or difficult, or scary may emerge as a profound healing of trauma, and a big advance in embracing all aspects of your self. For all engagements with the molecule, there can be meaningful qualities and impacts that only emerge in the days and weeks afterward.

Immediately after a Five experience, the brain has a big increase in neuroplasticity, where the deep grooves of your neural pathways are more pliable and easier to change. This can be an opportune time for developing new patterns of thinking, living, and loving.

Depending on the length of your retreat, we will usually schedule one or two post-retreat integration sessions for after you’ve returned home, usually conducted on Zoom. We are happy to make arrangements for additional sessions if needed or desired. We want you to feel fully supported at all stages of your engagement with us, and always welcome your updates and check-ins.
