SACRED PLANT MEDICINE JOURNEY
An Self Study Introductory Online Course
A relational, Indigenous and trauma informed path of preparation, discernment, and integration
A course for those who feel called to walk the plant medicine path with care, humility and confidence — before, during, and after ceremony. Offering practical guidance, embodied exercises, and relational orientation to support participants in making their own informed choices in relationship with the medicines.
Do you feel drawn to plant medicines, while also noticing uncertainty, hesitation, or mixed feelings?
You may be:
- Feeling called, but unsure when or how to proceed
- Carrying questions from past ceremonies that haven’t settled
- Wondering whether your experiences were “normal,” overwhelming, or incomplete
- Sensing the depth of this path — and not wanting to approach it lightly
- Tired of fragmented information, strong opinions, or spiritual authority figures
- Wanting guidance that supports your sovereignty, rather than replacing it
Many people arrive at plant medicine work without enough orientation, preparation, or integration support — not because they are careless, but because this landscape is wide, complex, and often poorly held.
If something in you knows that how you walk this path matters, this course is designed to meet you there.
WHAT THIS COURSE OFFERS
Orientation, not instruction. Relationship, not technique.
The Sacred Plant Medicine Journey offers grounded orientation for meeting sacred plant and entheogenic experiences with clarity, responsibility, and self-trust.
While many examples and reflections in this course are rooted in work with ayahuasca and Amazonian plant medicine traditions, the core themes explored here are not substance-specific.
Across different medicines, contexts, and even non-ceremonial encounters, people often meet similar experiences and challenges, such as:
- Altered or expanded states of awareness
- Intensity, fear, beauty, insight, or disorientation
- Questions of trust, safety, authority, and consent
- The long, often underestimated work of integration
This course focuses on how to be in relationship with these experiences, rather than on the pharmacology, techniques, or rituals of any single medicine.
What you are offered here includes:
- A grounded map for understanding the arc of preparation, ceremony, and integration
- Trauma-aware and nervous-system-informed perspectives for navigating altered states and daily life
- Indigenous-informed relational ethics that emphasize humility, respect, and responsibility
- Practical tools for discernment — especially when things feel confusing, intense, or ambiguous
This is not a course about “doing plant medicine right.”
It is about learning how to stay in relationship—with yourself, with the medicines, and with life—over time.
If you come from another entheogenic, psychedelic, or contemplative context, you are welcome here. The invitation is to meet these teachings as orientation and companionship, and to translate them through your own lived experience, culture, and discernment.
WHAT THIS COURSE ASKS OF YOU
This course does not ask for intensity, spiritual identity, or performance.
It does ask for a willingness to choose (to the best of one's ability in the moment):
- Courage — to stay present with what arises, rather than turning away or rushing to meaning
- Honesty — especially with yourself, your motivations, and your limits
- Patience — with integration, timing, and the non-linear nature of learning and repatterning behaviours
- Embodiment — interest in listening to the body, not only the mind
- Discernment — sensing what is yours to take in, and what is not
You are not asked to agree with everything offered here.
You are invited to engage consciously, to take what resonates, and to leave what does not.
This is a course for people who understand that deep work unfolds through relationship, not force—and that integration is often quieter, slower, and more demanding than ceremony itself.
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR
This course asks for sincerity, not perfection. At the same time, it is not designed to meet every expectation or approach to plant medicine work.
This course may not be a good fit if you are:
- Looking for a certification, facilitator training, or professional credential
- Wanting quick answers, fixed formulas, or a step-by-step method
- Primarily interested in peak experiences, visions, or bypassing difficult material
- Unwilling to reflect on power, responsibility, consent, and personal agency
- Expecting the medicine—or a teacher—to do the work for you
This course does not offer guarantees, techniques, or promised outcomes.
It does not position the guide as an authority over your experience.
This course may be a good fit if you are willing to:
- Meet yourself with honesty, even when things feel unclear or uncomfortable
- Take responsibility for your choices and your pace
- Stay curious rather than certain
- Practice discernment instead of outsourcing authority
- Allow integration to unfold over time, rather than forcing conclusions
The Sacred Plant Medicine Journey is not about “getting somewhere.”
It is about learning how to stay present, resourced, and in relationship as the journey unfolds.
INDIGENOUS-INFORMED & RELATIONAL FOUNDATIONS
The teachings shared in this course are deeply informed by lived relationship with Indigenous lineages, particularly through long-term connection with the Huni Kuin people of the Brazilian Amazon.
These perspectives are not presented as doctrine, nor as something to copy or consume.
They are offered as relational teachings — ways of listening, orienting, and behaving — that emphasize:
-
Respect over extraction
-
Humility over mastery
-
Responsibility over entitlement
-
Reciprocity over consumption
The course reminds participants that walking this path ethically requires ongoing listening, self-honesty, and discernment.
THE JOURNEY ARC: FOUR INTERWOVEN PHASES
This course works with a journey arc found across many Indigenous and ancestral traditions, and echoed in the Hero’s Journey — a widely recognized map of initiation, transformation, and return.
Hearing the Call
Listening for readiness, motivation, and timing
Preparation
Tending the body, nervous system, intention, and relational field
Ceremony
Navigating altered states with presence, humility, and respect
Integration
Weaving teachings into everyday life, relationships, and choices
Participants may move through this arc many times over a lifetime.
TWO INTERWOVEN BRANCHES OF LEARNING
🌿 Branch One: The Journey Arc
An Indigenous-informed map of preparation, ceremony, and integration, grounded in relational ethics.
🌿 Branch Two: Nervous System, Discernment & Integration Tools
Practical, embodied support resources that run alongside the journey arc, including:
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Grounding and orienting in altered or expanded states
-
Discernment in spiritual and energetic encounters
-
Emotional regulation without suppression or bypassing
-
Long-term integration that honors timing and capacity
These tools are especially important in modern contexts, where so many feel disconnected from their body and inner knowing, and consequently struggle with feeling safe and in balanced relationship to the world around them.

Testimonials
“This course material was clear, comprehensive, and deeply supportive. Even with previous retreat experience, I received new understanding about the history, tradition, cultural background, the medicines, preparation, intention-setting, and integration.
This material helped me navigate my own intentions much more clearly. At the same time, it also brought a sense of trust. Even though I already had experience, it still felt really good to receive this kind of clear and deeper introduction before the retreat.
I also received support for integration from the grounding tools, which helped me continue with my own process after the retreat, so I wasn’t left alone with everything I had experienced. I personally needed exactly those practices, because during the retreat it came up strongly that presence is something I need to practice.
The guidance helped me clarify my intentions in a way that truly supported me, building trust before the retreat, and to continue my process afterwards with grounding tools and integration support. It course was carefully and respectfully held — and helped me approach my own process with much more clarity, depth and trust.
I feel that because this kind of work engages so strongly with the unseen world and deep inner processes, these kinds of preparation and integration tools are truly important — so thank you!
Honestly, I wish I had received an information package like this before my very first retreat. I believe it can be a huge support both for first-timers and for those who already have previous experience.”

CONTINUING THE JOURNEY: SIRIANI’S SANCTUARY
The Sacred Plant Medicine Journey is not designed as a one-time experience.
For those who feel called to continue walking in relationship after completing the course, there is an optional online community space called Siriani’s Sanctuary.
This is a quiet, intentional space for ongoing integration and reflection.
It is not a high-activity group, and not a replacement for personal support or professional care.
Details will be shared at the end of the course.

ABOUT THE GUIDE
Txana Siriani (Minna Pyhälä) is a guide, facilitator, and bridge-builder working at the meeting point of Indigenous knowledge systems, trauma-aware perspectives, embodied practice, and contemporary life.
Her work has grown out of a lived path with sacred plant and entheogenic medicines across a range of contexts, including both Indigenous and contemporary ceremonial spaces. Over time, her learning and practice have become more deeply rooted in ayahuasca and Amazonian plant medicine traditions, particularly through long-term relationship with Indigenous lineages in the Brazilian Amazon.
The teachings shared in this course are shaped by those relationships—not as doctrine or authority, but as relational orientation: ways of listening, behaving, and taking responsibility in spaces of intimacy and vulnerability.
Minna does not present herself as an expert with answers, nor as a representative of any single tradition. She shares from lived experience, reflection, and ongoing learning, with a commitment to:
- Supporting sovereignty rather than dependence
- Encouraging discernment rather than belief
- Honoring cultural origins without extracting or simplifying them
- Holding space for complexity, uncertainty, and integration
This course is offered in the spirit of companionship rather than instruction—for those who feel called to walk the sacred plant medicine path with humility, care, and responsibility, and who value guidance that strengthens inner authority rather than replacing it.
