I share what I see as the essence of my work by unpacking my Hot Stove Meditation, which includes three steps:

1. Exposure therapy by intentionally welcoming in emotional distress.

2. Contacting the emotional body sensations of distress using vipassana.

3. Opening up into nonduality.

Psychotherapist and psychedelic guide Mira Funk, LCSW, describes the process of working with her from beginning to end. The process begins with a 50-minute initial consultation. She and the client then agree on a retreat date and on an appropriate number of pre- and post-integration sessions.

Mira recommends 5 at least pre-integration sessions and 1 post-integration session.

Here is a breakdown of the session content:

1. Biopsychosocial Intake

2. Safety & Logistics

3. Hot Stove Vipassana Meditation

4. Floating in Space Nondual Meditation

5. Ocean of Love Nondual Meditation

6. Processing the Retreat

Mira also discusses the different medicines she serves—5-MeO-DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum—and the different retreat formats that are possible with these medicines. Each medicine has a short-acting vaporized route of administration as well as an extended release route. There's rectal 5-MeO-DMT, analog ayahuasca, and buccal salvia divinorum. Btw, apparently buccal is actually pronounced "buckle" not "boo-kle," oops! :-) After completing a retreat with Mira, you become eligible to join her Unjourneying Circle, an online psychedelic integration group that meets every two weeks over Zoom. You also can participate in her group retreats. If you want to connect with Mira, visit https://www.unjourneying.com.
