Modern Psychedelics

13 months ago, before round two with 🫚 I really believed that Iboga was truth medicine in the sense that it deliveres the truth directly, clearly, cleanly.

Now I see that Iboga is truth medicine in the sense that it presents a unique path for each individual to learn for themselves HOW to know ones truth. Sometimes it teaches this by revealing how the mind gets in the way.

I’ve come to understand that “truth medicine” is more of an ongoing process, and less of an event that happens lying on the mat.

My mind has been eating itself alive this year trying to “understand” a specific vision and message from ceremony. Moving through post-integration, this has been one of the hardest years for me but I have been learning a lot about the nuances around the iboga integration process.

This week, I started the process of updating my Iboga prep & integration course to reflect what I’ve been learning about these nuances, including this one: it’s not always about the content, but the mind structure the content amplifies.

There is so much nuance around working with this medicine, more so than with any other in my opinion.

This is why I created Doing the Work w/ Iboga: A prep & integration program to support folks walking with this master plant for psycho-spiritual purposes.

Are you working with Iboga soon? Let me know in the comments below or in the DMs. I would love to support you.

Hi, I’m Lana. Allow me to re-introduce myself.

Last week, I made a post about navigating a post-psych•delic identity crisis — and it kind of blew up. As a result, there are lots of new faces here, so I wanted to say hi.

What this told me is that a lot of people are feeling groundless and confused after medicine experiences — experiences that are positioned to be clarifying.

And that there’s still a lack of education and support for people having a hard time after psych•delics.

I’ve been podcasting on psyched•L ics for 6 years now (you can find Modern Psych•delics wherever you listen), and honestly?

I’m tired of how we position them.

I don’t blame us — I once believed these psychoactive substances would solve all my problems too.

And while they have a lot to offer, the truth is:

They don’t remove you from life. They bring you more deeply into it — for better or worse.

There’s a lot we can improve in how we talk about psych•delics. But more on that later.

A little about me:

🌟 I’m a 4x-certified ICF professional coach
🌱 I work with humans on the psych•delic path supporting preparation, integration, and authentic alignment
🥘 I love cooking, fashion, reading fiction, and disappearing on the dancefloor if there’s wubby wubs
🇧🇦 I was born in former Yugoslavia (now Bosnia). I’m a war baby
🏙️ City girl!! I’ve built a beautiful community in Toronto and deeply advocate for face-to-face connection
🫚 Psych•delics have been a big part of my journey. My arc was: Mushrooms → Ayah•asca → Ib•ga → 5-MeO → back to Ib•ga
💺Right now, they’ve taken a back seat
🪷In 2024, I launched .co — the first kanna brand in Canada

If you’re here because you’re navigating change, confusion, or growth after psych•delics, you’re in the right place.

Welcome! Tell me something about yourself in the comments — I genuinely love connecting with you.

Meet Kate.

A deeply self-aware woman on the medicine path, who found herself stuck in her own blind spots.

What we quickly discovered was that what Kate thought she wanted in her career was tied up in an identity she had formed to feel accepted… by the very people who made her feel judged.

Through our six slow-burn months together, Kate realized that the force she was feeling in her new business venture was coming from wearing a mask that wasn’t hers.

As she began to shed that mask, something unexpected emerged:

Her lifelong passion for photography!!! 📸

Today, Kate is (re-)building her career as a professional photographer and artist. Instead of forcing it, she’s doing work that feels natural, aligned, and true to who she is. Also, her work is absolutely stunning.

Watching Kate come into to herself in an embodied way was beautiful, and one of the greatest privileges of my work as a coach.

If you see yourself in Kate’s story — the force, the confusion, the guilt, the feeling that something isn’t quite right — this work might be for you.

For April, I’m offering $500 off my signature 6-month 1:1 coaching program.

What happens when the your sense of self collapses after a medicine experience?

In episode 135, I talk about the reality of post-psychedelic identity crisis / existential crisis / ontological shock.

This is real, it’s happening to many folks, and something I’ve been navigating for about a year after Iboga.

This episode is a grounded and validating one, full of practical ways to support yourself through this challenging and groundless time.

If you’re feeling lost, you’re not alone.

Gifting myself a chef’s knife was one of the best moves I made for my life, and honestly? for my integration process.

I know this might sound random, but hear me out. Because I want to challenge us to start thinking about integration in a fresh way.

I’ve always loved cooking—food, fresh ingredients, being in the kitchen. By buying myself a beautiful knife, I’ve felt even more excited to spend time with this hobby. And it’s given me so much back.

Cooking, chopping, and being in the kitchen allows for:

📵 time off screens
👩🏻‍🍳 moving closer to mastery in something I genuinely love
🥘 nourishing my body with homemade meals

But most importantly, as it relates to integration:

🧠 my mind wanders—and I get to reallllly think.

The mind wandering. The spaciousness. The silence.

Some of my best thinking—and some of my most important post-ceremony revelations—have happened in this kitchen.

👉 Not all integration looks like talking, reading, or “doing the work.”

Sometimes it looks like creating the conditions for presence to happen naturally.

At its core, integration is about coming back to yourself and the wisdom within you. And acting from that place.

So, what’s your “cooking”?
The activity you’ve been wanting to return to?
The one that gives you spaciousness?
The one you genuinely enjoy?

Identify it—and get to it. Your process will only benefit. 🤍

Because life really is the integration plan.

Nine month integration update after root medicine 🫚 now live! Reflecting with my a bestie on the mic about what these last nine months post-eboga & have looked like.

I often find it difficult to explain what I actually do as a coach. What value I provide.

The best way I can describe it is this:

I don’t help my clients “get through” something.

I help them become someone.💎

Someone we uncover together—layer by layer. Each path is uniquely theirs.

But over time, I’ve noticed energetic consistencies in the clients who circle back, months and sometimes years later, to tell me just how far they’ve come.

They often become someone who:

⏲️ Trusts their own timing and path. No longer rushing to fix, prove, or perform

🚧 Sets boundaries as an act of self-respect, not self-protection

🫱 Chooses peace via the very human work of practicing acceptance

👥 Releases attachments for others to change, and in doing so, transforms these relationships

👁️ Honours quiet intuition over loud mind narratives

🫀Lives from wholeness and authenticity, not from urgency or self-improvement

🚶‍♀️Lets their values—not their past—lead the way forward

Not overnight, not through a checklist.
Not through sheer discipline.
Not even through accumulated wisdom and knowledge.

👉 But through deep presence,
honest reflection,
and a conscious, wide-eyed reorientation to who they are BEING in each moment.

This is the “value” of my presence as your coach. This is the path of integration. This is the work I’m here to do.

If you’re feeling the pull toward a deeper way of being…
