Running Your Circle At Home (and Plant Medicine) with Nicky Yazbeck

  • Summary

  • In this episode with Nicky Yazbeck (https://nickyyyoga.com/) and Julia, they covered: • How Nicky holds a women’s circle for those who’ve experienced plant medicine • Ayhuasca is a serious plant medicine and need to prepare through clean diet and other preparations • A circle is important for creating a container for the experience • There is a WhatsApp group important for the integration of what came up after taking the plant medicine – everyone in the group has shared experience • People are welcome whether it’s a good or bad day • Separate women and men’s circles are held because they’ve found a different level of sharing when the sexes are separated • Pre-circle phone call with Nicky to set expectations • Opening is an opportunity for someone to share – might be a chance to grow through vulnerability e.g. singing in from of the circle, teaching a meditation • She’s found that having done plant medicine, people are willing to go deeper: there’s no hesitancy about sharing • She asks people to be specific about what they want: to have space held for them, support given, reflection and / or advice. Definitely not there to rescue people. Attendees may check “Are you open to feedback?” • In a 3 hour circle, there are usually 9-14 women and Nicky doesn’t keep time for how long people speak for. • A firm guideline is that we don’t talk about people who aren’t present. • Closing is an opportunity to ask everyone how they want to close the circle to give ownership e.g. singing a song, rolling oms, holding hands
