Intention
Endless possibilities
Open to endless possibilities. We express what we seek and are receptive to whatever answer appears and the form it takes. A thing of Spirit and the heart.
Preparing your heart
Intentions vs Expectations: Yours and Ours
When stepping into an experience beyond your comfort zone, setting an intention can provide a sense of grounding and direction. What need do you hope this journey will address? What insight or transformation do you seek? You'll have the opportunity to craft intentions at the retreat, and we offer guidance for doing that.
The distinction
Heart or Mind?
Plant medicine and your spirit work with the heart, making the possibilities fluid and infinite, whereas the mind is not structured for fluid and infinite.
Expectation
One possibility
Limited to one possibility: the answer we want, in the way we want it. A construct of the finite mind.
A good approach
Set It, Drink, Free It
- 1
Set
Name what you seek, simply and from the heart.
- 2
Drink
Receive the medicine in ceremony, held by our medicine family.
- 3
Free
Release the intention, trusting Spirit to answer in a way that resonates with you.
Be aware that the form the answer takes may well be the message.
Surrender
Trust the Process
Surrendering to the process requires trust: trust in yourself and that wee voice whose call you heeded; trust in the medicines from Mother Earth; and trust in your fellow travelers, with whom you are united in every way that matters.
The Bluestone Family
Our Intention
The intention of the Bluestone family is to create a space wherein we may work with Ayahuasca in curated isolation and absolute safety, sustained by the Divine frequencies of Love, Light, Peace and Gratitude. Our rezo is unwavering trust in Spirit, in each other and the sacred medicines of Mother Earth.
Our expectation is that everything changes, and everything in every moment is perfect.
“We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.”
Guidance for your preparation
Crafting Your Intention
Questions to journal with in the weeks before your retreat. Let the answers surprise you.
- What am I ready to release?
- What do I want more of in my life?
- Where in my body do I hold what hurts?
- What would I ask my younger self to forgive?
- What relationship is calling for healing?
- Who am I when no one is watching?
- Keep it short: one sentence you can hold in your heart.
- Write it in the present tense, as an opening rather than a demand.
- Write it down and bring it with you.
- Bring it to the drum meditation on Day 2, where we craft intentions together.
You don't need to arrive with a perfect intention. We guide you in crafting it at the retreat.
Bring Your Intention to the Circle
