What has been the greatest lesson, insight, or challenge you've faced during your psychedelic integration journey?

My name is ShannonRae, one of the founders here at EPIC. My primary home is in Las Vegas NV USA, though I've had a second home in NC and Illinois recently. I also travel about 6 months a year and have visited over 50 countries. I even lived on a sailing yacht for at least 3 months in 2024. I LOVE integrating plant based medicines, and anything that elevates or liberates human consciousness collectively or individually. I hope to bring decades of personal and professional experience, multiple forms of advanced formal education, training and certifications, initiations all over the world with indigenous tribes, and so much more. I hope to gain friendships, connections, community, and ongoing growth and liberation myself. For me, integration is about embracing. It's about being present and accepting/observing things for what they are, surrendering to what we cannot control, embracing the entire spectrum, and making conscious choices in relation to all of this. It's about learning to love deeply, let go easily, live fiercely, and always be present to what is. Psychedelics, breathwork and all forms of spiritual/human embodiment have liberated my entire soul, elevated my life path (this time and for infinity), brought my deep peace in my practical everyday life, clarified and anchored my purpose, helped me gain emotional health, enhanced every relationship and conversation I have, with myself first and foremost and everything else as an extension of that. It opened my mind, educated me, informed decisions, helped me feel healthy, whole, wealthy beyond measure, safe, and happy unconditionally. To be clear it wasn't the medicine ONLY that did this, it's how I used, leveraged, and integrated this work that ultimately brought me this personal liberation, and life amplification. With that said, I would not be as far, as fast without my relationship with these divine medicines.
