Integration Coaching in Action: A Live Session with Two Wayfinder Instructors

About this episode

This episode features a live integration coaching session demonstrating how to navigate challenging psychedelic experiences.

Ever wondered what integration coaching looks like in real time? In this powerful episode, two certified Wayfinder Instructors , Joi Whitmore and Brooke Heller, demonstrate how Wayfinder tools and coaching principles can illuminate even the most challenging psychedelic experiences. Brooke revisits a pivotal journey from her twenties—an experience she once labeled a “bad trip.” Together, we explore what really happens when meaning feels lost, and how curiosity, presence, and symbolic interpretation can bring healing. Using a Jungian-inspired dream-analysis approach referenced in Martha Beck’s work, we look at how to decode the imagery and emotions that surface during or after ceremony. Brooke shares what she learned, why she thought she was finished with medicine work, and how the call to return arrived just a few years later.
