AncESTRAL ELIXIRS:
EaRTH MEDICINE MENTORSHIP
This offering is for people who would like to experience the power of guided microdosing with beneficial plant medicines.
The Ancestral Elixirs Mentorship Program
Master Plant Guides can help us on our healing journey by addressing different areas of blockage or disconnection in our lives. We commune by ingesting them daily for a given period of time (depending on the circumstances), while engaging in soul mentorship and dreamwork for deepening and integrating our experience.
The Earth has generously provided immense assistance for our human journey via the Sacred Earth/Plant Teachers. The Ancestral Elixirs are ceremonially prepared tinctures of Master Earth Medicines such as Tobacco and Cacao, among other powerful allies. This work is guided by Maribel Ramirez, Mentor, who is under apprenticeship with Don Carlos Jesus Castillejos, Mayan-Toltec Grandfather. Don Carlos Jesus Castillejos imparts elements of the ancestral wisdom of his lineages in working with the Sacred Medicines, while recognizing that this mentorship space is a modern approach to healing and that the afflictions of modernity (rooted in disconnection and trauma) are often different from those of ancestral, indigenous cultures of the past. Don Carlos instructs us on how to work with these medicines in ways that are safe and applicable to modern contexts.

JouRNEY WORK:
PREPARATION & InTEGRATION
This offering is for people who are planning a journey with a plant or earth medicine, and would like a container of support before and after to create the best possible conditions for the greatest possible outcomes.
Journey Work
Ceremony and communion with plant & earth Medicines are powerful experiences with vast transformative potential. However, while it might seem that the work begins in the ceremonial space, the bulk of the healing and transformation happens outside of ceremony. Preparation prior to ceremony is crucial — creating a container for holding clear, strong intentions, clearing our minds of bodies of habitual unhealthy patterns, and engaging in practices that will support our journey. Just as important to our journey is our ability to sustain the opening, connection, and information that guides our healing, post ceremony, which is where integration plays a crucial role.
Once upon a time, life itself was ceremony. We lived in a village, in a network of connections with other human beings, the unseen world, and the vast web of life. Our lives were guided by the cycles of Nature, the Sun, the Moon, the Elemental forces… Often in ceremonial spaces we get a glimpse of this ancient way of existing. Then we return to our "regular" lives, and the sense of expansion and connection can slowly start to dissipate.
In life we can observe a pattern of expansion and contraction that permeates existence. We see these patterns in our breath, in our circulatory system, in the cycles of nature, and birth and death. Ceremony creates an expansive state that, for most of us, is followed by an eventual contraction. Integration work helps us track this process in our psyche and bring in the necessary awareness for continued exploration and healing. It also allows us to establish practices within a system of accountability so that the spiritual work continues to unfold, and old patterns and wounding do not reclaim us.
This preparation and integration work will be facilitated by Maribel Ramirez, Mentor, Community co-Healer. She has over 13 years experience on the Plant Medicine Path.
