📝The latest Practice Lazet Journal is out now📝

It opens with this picture, taken during a Sunday hike to test my new walking gear, ahead of a 6-day medicine journey I am about to take on.

This edition is about preparation, about learning that stepping into something big asks for more than practical readiness, and that the real work is something you carry within, not something you pack.

It touches on something I recognise in myself and in many of my clients; the tendency to underestimate this phase, to jump in without truly being ready.

Preparation is not about doing everything perfectly, it is about becoming as clean and open a vessel as possible, so what needs to come through, can.

Or, as one client put it: ‘This is when you begin to set the stage.’

📝 The latest Practice Lazet Journal just went out.

It opens with Orisha Nanã💜 and this small statue on my desk that reminds me to slow down.

This edition is about grounding after an intense experience with plant medicine, about learning that reaching for what is beyond us can only carry weight if there are real roots beneath it.

It touches on something I recognize in myself and in many of my clients; the reaching for the next insight before it truly lands in the body.

"Being rooted in the body asks for slowness, silence and patience."

As one client put it: "I want to feel it through rather than analyze the experience."

🧺Do the Work Before You Guide the Work🧺

I wrote about this topic a while back and a message I received last week brought it right back to the surface.

A coach wrote to me, warm and sincere. He just finished his first ever ceremony and already felt ready to offer integration support to others. He asked me for professional input and we ended up having an honest conversation. My main message to him was simple; do the work before you guide the work. Because there is something beautiful in that pull to be of service, but feeling ‘called’ is not the same as being ready. It is a gap I keep seeing in this fast developing field and it feels worth naming again.

Because I find that one of the most important qualities that makes you a trustworthy psychedelic integration specialist is experiencing altered states of consciousness yourself. Both with different substances or plants (Ayahuasca🌿, Psilocybin🍄 or San Pedro🌵 to name a few), different dosages and in various settings.

It still amazes me how many (psycho)therapists or psychologists who finish respected psychedelic-assisted therapy trainings have little to no first-hand experience themselves. Because navigating this complex and often very tricky terrain requires that you, at least, develop your own map 🗺️ and compass🧭 first, before even considering supporting somebody else's journey and especially its aftermath.

As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't consider asking integration support from any mental health professional (or one of the many coaches around) who hasn't done a substantial amount of his or her own work first. What I mean by that is at least 50 journeys with different dosages and different types of psychedelics, spread out over a few years. To do a few rounds of laundry yourself after the ecstasy and…most importantly, to keep on washing🧺.

Because these first-hand experiences turn out to be your most valuable tool while supporting fellow souls in their life after ceremony. This is the true gold in your 'toolbox'.

I notice that the professionals who consistently do this work themselves and who know how confused, vulnerable, exhausted and lost you can feel coming out of an altered state of consciousness, tend to offer the best aftercare support to their clients.

Therefore, a few times a year, I dive into my own work as a participant in Plant Medicine ceremonies and time and time again, I come out with new 'golden nuggets' to integrate into my work as a Plant Medicine after-care specialist.

Ten years and two hundred ceremonies later, I now offer the professional support I was searching for back then, when I was stumbling around in my own grey zone.

To walk alongside others in this terrain, you first have to know how to make your way through the forest in the dark, barefoot and with your own compass in hand.

Axé!

TM practitioners will recognize these three items: fresh flowers 💐, sweet fruit 🥭 and a white handkerchief… Exactly 3 months ago, I received my instruction in Transcendental Meditation.

The ritual in which I received my mantra from my teacher was beautiful. These past weeks, entering this practice felt both new and quietly familiar.

I’ve explored different forms of meditation since my twenties when diving into Eastern yogic traditions, but over time they faded into the background…

But at the start of this year during a 5 day Plant Medicine ceremony, in a deep meditative state, I clearly felt my whole nervous system longing to return to a solid meditation practice.

Committing to sitting twice a day for 20 minutes felt just like the beginning. Some days, it can still feel new (like riding a new bike) as I’m fully integrating it into my routine. But I am clearly sensing what it brings me ✨🙏🏼.

Another key🗝️to keeping myself as healthy, happy, balanced and grounded as I can be in this crazy, beautiful world 🌍.

In my work as a somatic counsellor, I walk alongside people through some of the most intense and tender phases of their lives, in the preparation and aftercare of Plant Medicine experiences. That asks something of me too.

This work requires enough time and space to recharge and return to my own source. TM is becoming one of those anchors.

Axé!
💛

P.S. Over the years, I’ve met quite a few TM meditators with inspiring experiences and stories. If anyone feels like sharing below (or in a PM) what this practice brought you, especially spiritually: very welcome 🙏🏼

I’m a very lucky person to have this wonderful and very wise woman as my supervisor. Walking beside me, mirroring me and bringing her own humanness and a good sense of Irish humour😉. Yesterday, after the work we did for , she took me for a long walk through the green and very lush Vondelpark. This picture is a small reminder of that afternoon.

Thank you, dear Zelda Hall🙏🏼!

Practice Lazet is welcoming a beautiful new collaboration with Gekedijkstra♥️

Geke: For some time now, I have felt a growing calling to pass on the wisdom and experience I have gathered over 15 years of working in this beautiful and magical field of the plant teacher.

Over the past year, I have been mentoring Edine, a member of my team, so that she will be able to lead ceremonies within my organization.

From her very first encounter with the plant teacher, Edine felt a deep and immediate connection — both with the medicine itself and with the setting we have built together over all these years.
I have come to know her as someone truly devoted to this work — deeply sensitive, attuned, and present, yet grounded and pragmatic.
The mentorship with her is and has been an organic process of passing on not just skills, but presence. Of teaching facilitation, and the art of holding space.
Edine is walking beside me, co-guiding retreats, learning the rhythm of preparation, ceremony, and integration. And by the end of this year, she will be guiding the first retreat on her own.

I also want to introduce you to Marijntje, who is joining the team as an integration coach. I will only be available for single sessions myself, when needed.
Marijntje is an anthropologist and somatic counsellor who specializes in supporting people in the preparation and integration of plant teacher experiences. She is wise, has a deep love for the medicine and a great sense of humor ánd for human relations.

I am very happy and grateful with these developments, it gives me space to breathe, and to create new things.

I do want to emphasize that this is not in any way me stepping away from this work- far from it. I will continue to be here, fully and wholeheartedly.
I will continue to lead retreats, guide ceremonies, and show up for this work as I always have. I will be holding and protecting the vision and I will be in the background of every retreat, ensuring continuity and care.

I feel more than ever that this is my Life’s work and I want to keep doing this till I am very old, grey and wrinkly!

🌳Taking a break🌳

In a space where intensity is often celebrated, we rarely talk about the power of pausing.

In the latest Practice Lazet Journal, I reflect on how taking a break from ceremony can sometimes be the most supportive next step in your integration journey.

More is not always better.
Sometimes it is space that allows insight to mature.
Sometimes it is time that turns experience into embodied change.

Over the past weeks, several clients have chosen to pause their next ceremony. Not because something is wrong, but because something is ready to deepen.

And I recognise that path myself.
