Embodied Recovery and Integration, Dubai (2025)

11/10/2025

Two years ago, I was lost and unsure of my path, wondering what my next steps would be.

I still remember hearing Danielle Nova speak at an online conference and feeling a spark of recognition. At that time, I was already certified in addiction recovery coaching and psycho-spiritual integration yet I hadn’t met many people weaving recovery work with the intentional use of entheogens.

Something in her words gave me hope. So I reached out.

Danielle, replied with warmth and kindness, and we connected on a call. She listened, encouraged me to follow my vision, and most importantly, she believed in me so much that I was invited to host the recovery meetings of the San Francisco Psy che de lic Society.

Even though I am on the other side of the world, she made space for me. And from that moment on, my journey began to shift. 🌍

For the past two years, on the second Monday of each month at 5am or 4am while in Europe, I’ve woken up to hold these 6pm PST recovery meetings.

Each meeting has been an honor, a deep learning, and a reminder of the incredible healing that unfolds when people are seen, held, and supported as they share their stories and move through recovery.

This work has shaped me just as much as it has shaped the communities I’m serving. Today, I carry lessons from these meetings into life with gratitude and respect for the power of connection, community, and new ways of what most people know recovery can be.

Thank you, Danielle, for your trust as sometimes, when we walk a road that hasn’t yet been created, all we truly need is someone to believe in us.

There is something beautiful in the sleepiness of winter…

I am reading a book called Focusing by Eugene Gendlin, which was mentioned in the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration program I am part of. Here I found this sentence: “The unconscious is the body.”

After many hours of practice and experiencing the wisdom we all carry within, I tend to believe is true.

I now, understand that the mind can take us so far, and if we want deeper integration and knowing we have to let ourselves be carried by the innate wisdom of our bodies.

This is not an easy job, especially because so many of us, due to different reasons, don’t feel at home in our bodies. To name a few anxiety, depression, panic attacks, chronic pain, addictions, traumas that make it difficult to connect to the body, or even forgetting that we have a body and taking it for granted.

It’s a great journey of learning and exploration of something that we are naturally born to do... feel into our bodies.

I start enjoying so much the wholeness, I am feeling.

The path of learning the value of making the invisible visible is not a smooth journey as I feel like I’m waking from a long sleep.

Stanislav Grof famously denotes that psychedelics are nonspecific amplifiers of the unconscious so these compounds are perfectly predisposed to manifesting the invisible.

When the veil between the ego and the world falls, we can investigate our internal psychological processes deeply. This is how I realized the anxiety, unexpressed rage, and depression I’ve experienced are rooted in generations before me.

Being the first one to do something is always hard but I’m incredibly grateful for the path I chose to walk.

If you are looking to prepare or integrate psychedelic experiences I am here to walk the road with you.

“Let me fall, if I must fall
The one I will become will catch me.”

Baal Shem Tov

We go through many lives in this one life that we have, and what we really seek is who we are, or at least who we want to become.

There's one important thing you may not have realized that could be holding you back from becoming the person you aspire to be… and that is your attachment to your wounds and suffering.

Sometimes, we hold onto our pain because we don't know who we'd be without it.

I recall a moment during a ceremony I participated in when I received a powerful message to let go of my pain. Initially, I felt scared and wondered who I would be without it. I didn't realize then that there were other ways of being beyond my wounds. I was proudly carrying them, but by doing so, I was keeping them open.

Although I thought that realization would instantly change everything, it took me another two years to close the circle and truly embrace the liberated being I always wanted to be.

Our different parts resist dying, and now more than ever, I understand what I always knew … energy cannot be destroyed—it only changes form. Similarly, the parts of ourselves that we wish to let go of cannot be locked away or forgotten.

They need to be transformed and set free!

By allowing our bodies to fully experience and process one aspect, we can liberate and transform the other. It's a dance between parts similar how in nature is a dance between light and dark.

But you see … we are afraid of feeling so we suppress!

As we learn to move and free these energies, we can convert self-criticism into self-appreciation, comparing ourselves to others into self-assurance, and embarrassment into confidence. These pairs of qualities cannot exist without each other.

The simplicity of this realization now amuses me, but that's just how we are sometimes. We tend to seek the most challenging paths first, when the easy one is right there, waiting to be embraced.

Lately, as we become increasingly disconnected from our senses, the number of people who abuse substances, are depressed, and anxious has been continuously rising.

We know so many people who can build magnificent businesses, but who don't know how to have fulfilling relationships, how to manage their emotions, and how to enjoy life.

Due to the times we live in, we forget that we are composed of body, mind, and soul, and that supreme intelligence resides in the soul, not the mind.

There is an invasion of emotion specialists who want to heal everyone, but who have not yet managed to stabilize themselves or who try to heal people using reason.

However, there are also a few people who have succeeded in undergoing an extensive process of inner cleansing, through which they have managed to remember who they truly are and how to heal their past wounds.

These are the people that can help us heal. In the presence of a regulated nervous system, your nervous system attunes and starts healing.

The biggest shift for me was when I learned to be led by how the decisions I take feel in my body and my knowing and not so much by what my mind is telling me.

What created a significant change in your journey?
