Provided by Trained Clinicians (such as LPC’s) who supervise the use of Psychedelics such as: Ketamine, MDMA, Psilocybin, LSD or Ibogaine.

PAP includes the psychedelic session (4-6 hours), preparation sessions (3-6 hours) and integration sessions (3-6 hours) with additional hours and support as needed.

Ongoing research and clinical results have shown its safety and efficacy, even for “treatment resistant” conditions, and are getting increasing attention from medical, psychological and psychiatric professionals.

The traditional and sacred use of psychedelic plant medicine, for example, Ayahuasca, Sassafras, or Psilocybin, where a small team of trained and experienced facilitators lead a spiritual or healing ceremony.

Facilitators are trained in the traditional, spiritual, and shamanic uses of plant medicine, incorporating additional skills including: yoga, mindful movement, breath work, creating a playlist for ceremony, setting up sacred space, spiritual cleansing (sage, palo santo) calling in spiritual guides, tapping into the mesa (levels of reality), playing musical instruments (guitar, drums, crystal bowls, chimes, gongs), using shamanic instruments (rattles, drums, chakapas), singing, holding space, dancing, providing energy work or Reiki, and more.

Facilitators are instrumental in providing the necessary hours of preparation and integration sessions, and often provide coaching throughout the psychedelic experience, or throughout a microdosing program, which is a helpful addition to macrodosing.

The term set includes the expectations, motivations, and intentions of the participant in regard to the session. The facilitator or therapist's concept of the nature of the psychedelic experience, the agreed upon goal of the psychedelic experience, overview of preparation and programming or session work, and the techniques used during the ceremony or psychedelic experience.

The term setting refers to the environment, both physical and interpersonal, and to the concrete circumstances under which the psychedelic is administered.

Terminology for the person or persons holding set and setting include; a sitter, a guide, a therapist, and a facilitator.

Preparation is important and is the starting point when working with psychedelic plant medicine.

Preparation sessions are educational and informative, and are designed to prepare the client to experience the psychedelic.

To better understand what it is like to step into a non-ordinary state of consciousness for a period of time, to experience discomfort, change in body temperature, body sensations like muscle tension, increased heart rate for a short period of time, hallucinations or seeing visual imagery, feeling emotions, becoming tearful, experiencing memories, relief, connection and oneness to source, and more.

Integration is to be made whole again, to discover new ways of being and incorporate those lessons into daily life. To have dedicated time and space to process and learn and grow from the psychedelic experience, to nurture and grow those seeds of transformation and change.

The term implies disintegration, breaking down the old ways of thinking and being, and coming back to the essence of the authentic self, connected to all beings, the cosmos, and nature. Inner healing implies that all we need is already in us, we are complete, there is nothing wrong with us.

Cultivating compassion, having a wellness practice, a meditation practice, self-love, time and space for quiet reflection and journaling, movement, getting outside, and staying involved in a community to continue to heal in, are all part of the experience as well.

Plant medicines have been ingested for Millenia. Guides, facilitators, spiritual leaders, and shamans use plant medicine as part of their spiritual practice to help heal the members of their community.

Humans, in partnership with nature, continue to seek out plant medicine for its healing and long term positive effects. We work with plant medicine, the spirit of the plant, for the purposes of healing and spiritual awakening.

Psilocybin is the active molecule and naturally occurring psychedelic found in 200 + types of psychedelic mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms; the most common varieties are psilocybe cubensis and psilocybe mexicana.

According to research in psychedelic studies, it is the model for ease in entering a hallucinatory psychedelic state.

Usually a non-verbal experience, with integration sessions days and weeks afterwards to help process. Provides strong visuals or hallucinations or visions, ego dissolving, a time out from ordinary conscious states.

Enables moving on from trauma, has antidepressant effects. Experiences lead to balance and new integrations, new ways of being.

Ayahuasca (eye-ah-WAH-ska) or Aya, is a plant-based psychedelic. Psychedelics affect all the senses, altering a person’s thinking, sense of time and emotions. It has hallucinogenic effects and provides visions for the purposes of healing.

Aya is a concentrated liquid made by prolonged heating or boiling of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine with the leaves of the Psychotria viridis shrub. The active chemical in ayahuasca is DMT.

Aya has been used for centuries by First Nations peoples from Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador for religious ritual and therapeutic purposes.

A microdose is a small, imperceptible amount of the psychedelic. Usually placed in a capsule or powder, for example psilocybin, is mixed with other helpful mushrooms like Reishi or Lions Mane.

Taken in smaller form it does not produce the hallucinogenic effects of a macrodose, however it does provide the benefits of neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, improved cognition, mood, and additional benefits over time; a microdosing schedule can be six months up to one year.

A macrodose is a large dose of the psychedelic which includes hallucinogenic effects, also known as a therapeutic dose, with the higher end of the spectrum known as the heroic dose or threshold.

Dosing is important when it comes to working with plant medicine. Consult with your therapist or facilitator on dosage.

Working with psychedelics is a journey and each person is different when it comes to timing and needs and goals.

For example, a macrodose of Psilocybin can be scheduled once a month over the course of several months, with enough time and space to allow for preparation and integration sessions.

A microdosing schedule can include taking one capsule every day, every other day, or three days on, three days off, and can be beneficial to engage in a therapeutic or coaching program for six months and up to one year.

There are noticeable benefits in the days and weeks after consuming a macrodose, and within a month of microdosing, including increased neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and additional mental and emotional benefits such as reduced symptoms in depression and anxiety, decreased hypervigilance, higher spiritual connection, vitality, overall happiness and more.
