Stage 03 · The Integration Journey
In Ceremony
the medicine is in your body
What this stage is about
You're in it. The medicine is moving, the room has shifted, and whatever was rehearsed in your head is no longer available. This stage is about what to actually do — with fear, with beauty, with the parts that don't make sense.
The answers here are practical: how to breathe, when to call the facilitator, how to work with a difficult passage without fighting it, and how to tell the difference between hard and unsafe.
