Aftercare & Integration

The medicine continues working long after the ceremony ends. What was opened wants to be tended — not closed, not rushed, not forgotten. Integration is the slow, devoted return.

Aftercare is not optional and it is not a quick conversation. It is a season — sometimes a year, sometimes longer — in which what was met is woven into ordinary life. The body re-patterns. Relationships re-arrange. The new is given room to root.
