PSI HIVE
COMMUNITY PLANT SPIRIT INITIATIONS
A Year of Ceremony Guided By Plant Medicines
Offered by Francisca Santibanez and PST Trained Facilitators
Join Us for a Transformative Year of Group Plant Spirit Initiations
The Plant Spirit Initiation (PSI) Hive is a community of practitioners dedicated to attuning to and learning from Earth Medicines and the rhythms of Nature.
This involves initiating with a different Plant Spirit at each season, to support harmonizing with the elemental and energetic changes that they bring.
The PSI HIVE provides a unique opportunity to join a cohort of practitioners in a transformative healing journey through seasonal Plant Spirit Initiations over the course of a year, with the option to participate in single seasons as well. Participants will work with a different Plant Spirit each season, receiving weekly facilitated guidance from preparation through initiation and integration. They will also receive a PSI Kit with a full set of plant preparations to work with during the month of Initiation. Throughout the process, they will be supported at every step while becoming part of a vibrant community of PSI practitioners.
Benefits of Plant Spirit Initiations:
Facilitates self-exploration and personal growth through ceremonial practices.
Promotes reconnection with Nature and enhances healing potential.
Encourages reclaiming one's true self and embracing wildness.
Fosters deep spiritual connections with Nature, inspired by traditional Amazonian Vegetalista practices.
Opens pathways to innate healing capacities by unlearning disempowering habits and patterns.
Supports physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Provides a committed time for cleansing, deep listening, prayer, and practice.
Encourages respectful exchanges with plant-embodied teachers through preparation and intention-setting.
Enhances sensory perception and connection with plant teachers through dreams, visions, emotions, and sensory experiences.
Offers valuable opportunities for integration of traditional practices into everyday life.
