transmuting karmic lessons in Tepotlzan, Mexico part 1.
a travel update from the most magnetic sacred valley in the world. notes on my past week with mushroom medicine, doing BIG work & releasing identity from my trauma story.
in this now moment, the morning sun kisses my skin while gleaming through the edges of the tall paned glass windows. my wide eye gaze overlooks the lush gardens, centering the town of Tepotlzan. chickens cluck at the sight of dawn. birds harmonize along the echos of the valley. and the dogs whine at the signs of locals opening their stores to the community.
Tepotlzan is both chaos and stillness. wild and calm. magnetic and simple. and yet, i have found it to be deeply healing in multiple levels (keep an eye out on a separate newsletter further down the road).
it’s been about five days since i’ve transitioned from my week-long Psilocybin Facilitation Retreat, and many things within me has completely shifted. the wild magic within has activated. the feminine tenderness has softened and enlivened. the empowerment of my being-ness has ascended and risen from the deep dark earth it has been cradling in.
i made it. and not just physically. but spiritually. vibrationally. emotionally. i’ve finally made it back to my center after a long, dark winter. i am appeased to know that this is just the beginning of my journey. this is indeed, the connection back to Self i have been desperately hoping for these past six months.
it has finally found me.
but it didn’t come without great effort - surrender - vulnerability - and an entire week of leaning into my deepest wound and extracting it from my body.
during this past ceremony, i did the deepest, most biggest work i have ever done. and i’ve sat in many medicine ceremonies and have journeyed to the shadow realms more than i can even count. i’ve meditated, ecstatically danced, reached my inner child wounds, sat in hours of therapy, received many healing sessions, but never have i ever experienced a healing like this before.
before last week i underestimated the mushroom medicine and my own inner healer.
not anymore.
so let me tell you about my recent journey (part 1) and how i have reclaimed my power in the most transformational way.
