Inner Temple

A wholesome journey always begins with a well developed answer to the question...  WHY?  The Preparation consultation will offer you the opportunity to talk in-depth about your WHY.  This private consultation is designed to delve into a variety of aspects of your body mind and spirit to discern where you are seeking deeper insights, transformation, integration, and healing of your life experiences.  During this consult you will be given ample time to ask questions, voice concerns, as well as come to understand how the journey can support your continued positive growth and transformation.  We take time to get to know one another.  I'll share my experience and background with you so that you will hopefully feel at ease with your decision to move forward for your journey.  I will share optimal ways and practices to put in place to help you prepare yourself for your journey so that you are well nourished and grounded within your body, mind and spirit prior to going into the Inner Temple Journey.  We will discuss what type of journey you are hoping for and which style will best suit your needs at the time.  That can either be a Shamanic Journey, or an assisted plant medicine journey.  All of the options will be thoroughly explored.

Your journey can take two types of forms depending upon what is discovered during the preparation for the journey consultation.  

You may wish to do either of the following:

• Shamanic Journey with Suzanne

All preparation and details of the shamanic journey will be covered during your preparation for the journey consultation.  Shamanic Journey usually involves you being guided into a comfortable position either seated or lying down on a treatment (massage) table.  Depending upon the nature of the shamanic journey, either a drum or a rattle is used to created a rhythm that elicits a deep trance state.  Suzanne's presence and guidance is fully with you on the journey to support all that may arise for the "traveler".  Energetic Pranic healing may be part of the journey depending upon what arises.  Crystal grids may also become part of the transformative work.  Energetic and or physical talismans may become part of the ongoing healing work for the traveler.

• Sacred Medicine Journey with Suzanne and Randi at the Temple of the I Divine.  A sacred space for immersive, transformational medicine ceremony experience.  These ceremonies are curated to meet the individual or group exactly where you are to support you fully in what may arise.  We are with you physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually the whole time.  These ceremonies generally last between 7 to 9 hours during which you will be supported through music, bodywork, energy work, sound vibration, and nature.  All of these support techniques are there to support your with your intentions and focus upon your positive transformative healing journey.

The journey will deliver you to deep and profound new insights that in the moment will feel utterly transformational.  Integration is a vital part of your Inner Temple Journeys as implementing what you have learned and witnessed while on your journey may involve unexpected lifestyle changes that require support.  The journey to the inner temple may leave you feeling as though you have landed on a foreign shore where you don't speak the language of the land and so need support to gain your bearings, learn the language, and how to navigate skillfully in this new space.  Outwardly your life may seem the same, but you inner temple has evolved from the journey.  

1st Integration session

Before parting ways after your journey, we will create an opportunity to share some of your experiences. This will be a time for storytelling of your experiences and perhaps some time for journaling as well. It is strongly recommended that for the next couple of weeks while you are integrating your experience, you avoid stimulants (refined sugars, simple carbohydrates, coffee, black tea, etc.) or other mind-altering substances. This will give your mind and nervous system the time and support to continue to integrate.

Quick Check Ins:

Over the next two days Suzanne will check in via text or phone calls to see how you are doing and feeling.

2nd and 3rd Integration Sessions

The 1st of two longer integration sessions will be scheduled within one week of your journey. Depending upon your needs these sessions can include any of the following listed below: The 2nd  integration session will be scheduled at the end of the 1st session.
