Every sensation is a message. What if the body itself is the integration? Psychedelics can open extraordinary windows of perception, memory, and healing. But the nervous system - shaped by years of protection, survival, and stored experience - determines whether those windows become transformation or overwhelm. In this talk, Rachel Flower draws on 30+ years of somatic and breathwork training, her studies in Psychedelic Somatic Interactive Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and her own journey through Stage 4 cancer to offer a living, embodied framework for the psychedelic healing process. We will explore: * Why somatic preparation is the most overlooked - and most essential - element of psychedelic work * How conscious breathwork can regulate the nervous system before, during, and after a journey * The role of sound as a vibrational container that speaks directly to the autonomic nervous system * What integration actually means in the body - and the simple somatic practices that allow transformation to take root * A practical overview of the Sohum Path: five stages from Arrive to Remember, applicable to both breathwork sessions and psychedelic integration This is not a talk about psychedelics as substances. It is a talk about the living field in which healing happens - the body, the breath, the resonant field of sound — and how we, as guides and practitioners, become that field for others. Whether you are a practitioner, a curious explorer, or someone in the process of integrating your own medicine experiences, this talk offers a body-first map for the journey home. _________________________ We meet the third Friday of every month, 5:30-7 pm, at [The Studio Reno](thestudioreno.com) in the Tea Lounge Room (1085 S Virginia St. - yoga…
