THE SCHEDULE

Daylong Session: June 3rd, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Before 7 am - Make sure you’re done eating breakfast by 7 am. Have a nourishing, whole-food, high-protein breakfast. And have a plan for dinner.

10 am: Arrival

10:00 - 10:30: Set up and prepare space

10:30 - 11:45: Take heart-opening medicine and begin an IFS session (the timing is flexible on this)

11:45 - 12:00: Bathroom break, acknowledge alter, check in with feelings/emotions/parts, set intentions, read poetry, walk outside if desire/time allows

12:00 pm - take the medicine 

3:00 pm - Check in 

4:00 pm - Check in

5:00 pm - Notice alter, reflection, IFS session if needed/desired

6:00 pm - I’ll leave, make sure your dinner is set

Things to note: 

  1. Be sure to let me know about the music, particularly if there are songs you don’t like that are on the list. 

  2. Think about (and discuss with your parts) an intention or intentions that you’d like to bring into the medicine journey. Write the intentions down in a journal. 

  3. If you’d like you can gather poetry, readings, or anything that you would like to read out loud before the medicine. 

  4. Gather any meaningful items that you would like to place on an alter nearby. You can use a tray or a large plate as the alter. 

  5. Items for your space that day:

    • Mat to lay on if you prefer the floor (a couch or bed will work as well — your comfort is the most important thing)

    • Sheets and blankets (have an extra blanket nearby just in case you start to feel really cold)

    • An eye mask

    • A glass for water (I’ll handle and refill as necessary)
