Phase I is an apprenticeship, not a quick certification.

While you will receive acknowledgment of completion, this phase is focused on embodied foundation, trauma education, nervous system capacity, and practitioner integrity—not credentials for immediate facilitation.

Those who continue into advanced phases may move toward professional pathways when appropriate.

Trauma-educated means we work with:

• The nervous system, not just narratives

• Pacing, titration, and resourcing

• Recognition of dissociation, freeze, collapse, and overwhelm

• Clear boundaries around what is ethical to explore in group space

This is not trauma processing for its own sake.

It is learning how to be with the body without causing harm.

No formal certification is required.

However, this container is not for beginners who are newly awakening or seeking their first healing experience. You should have:

• Prior experience in personal healing work, therapy, somatics, or ceremony

• The ability to self-regulate with support

• Willingness to take responsibility for your inner process

This is an apprenticeship, not an introductory workshop.

No and Yes

Phase I does not include psychedelic plant medicine facilitation training or dosing instruction.

Psychedelic Plant intelligence may be discussed from an ethical, preparatory, and integration-focused lens, but this phase prioritizes nervous system stability, embodiment, and practitioner readiness.

Indigenous non psychoactive Plant medicines such as sacred Hape, Sananga, and Mapacho will be taught in sacred workshop format.

Advanced phases may explore deeper ceremonial work once foundations are established.

Yes, only in supported practicums.

Phase I is focused on self-work, peer practice, and learning how to hold space in safety and integrity for the work. This is a deeply healing container for each individual as you will be asked to meet yourself and any trauma or wounding that comes forward in ceremony.

All experiences will be:

• Guided

• Contained

• Educational

• Not client-facing

You will be asked to complete 2 breath work ceremonies upon return. home from the in person intensive to graduate.

No.

This apprenticeship is educational and experiential, not psychotherapy or medical treatment. While deep healing may occur, this container does not replace therapy, medical care, or mental health support. Patricia will support you in holistic trauma healing work with psychosomatic tools and modalities.

Participants are encouraged to have (or seek) external support if needed.

Many women drawn to this work do.

However, you must be able to:

• Stay present with sensation

• Communicate needs and boundaries

• Pause or step back when overwhelmed

• Take responsibility for your regulation

This container is not appropriate for those in acute trauma crisis or without basic stabilization.

Safety is created through:

• Clear agreements and boundaries

• Trauma-educated facilitation

• Nervous system pacing

• No forced sharing

• No bypassing or spiritual pressure

• Consent-based practices

Triggers are acknowledged, not exploited or ignored.

Phase I requires:

• Attendance at live virtual sessions. If you miss, recordings are available. If you consistently miss class, you will meet with Patricia to discuss if this is an aligned time for you to be in this container.

• Time for integration and embodied practice between sessions

• Willingness to slow down and prioritize this work

This is not a passive program. It is a devotional apprenticeship.

Yes—if you are willing to build slowly and ethically.

Phase I lays the groundwork for future professional pathways but does not rush you toward facilitation. Those who are seeking fast credentials or immediate client work will not be aligned for this apprenticeship.

Yes.

Some women enter Phase I purely for personal healing, lineage work, embodiment, and self-trust. Practitioner consciousness benefits every aspect of life—not only professional practice.

Completion of Phase I may open invitations into:

• Phase II advanced plant medicine woman apprenticeship

• In-person intensives

• Ceremonial leadership pathways

• Ongoing mentorship

Advancement is by readiness, not entitlement.

Yes.

This container is intentionally small and carefully curated.

Applications allow us to ensure:

• Readiness

• Safety

• Alignment

• Capacity for the work

Not all applicants will be accepted.

Fear does not disqualify you.

Avoidance, urgency, or bypassing does.

We look for women who can feel fear and stay present—not those trying to outrun it.
