Inner Expeditions Disclaimer

Inner Expeditions are a divinatory experience that explores your depth psychology. They help to create meaning, giving a sense of what is numinous and at times indescribable. They are a supportive accompaniment to the deconditioning process.

Through practices of active and deep imaginings based in Jungian theories, the Inner Expedition system is also based on shamanic principles as a way to decondition and move stuck or blocked internal energy.

Through journeying to non-ordinary reality by listening to a consistent drum pattern, shamanic journeyers travel to upper, lower and middle worlds, often rooted in teachings from their community and local landscape.

Inner Expeditions are a meditative practice that activate the imagination to create a map of your unconscious. By empowering the imagination, Inner Expeditionists open up their psyche and body to an enriching and meaningful exploration of what is not yet fully conscious within themselves.

Inner Expeditions deliver you to your inner landscapes through modern emotive music, while assigning a mission to keep the mind in an actively imagining state while you’re adventuring.

To map your inner world, I have created Legends to help understand what you’re unblocking within by providing world-building descriptions that create clarity and movement.

Depending on a person’s cultural background and life experiences, it may be more valuable to create their own Legend to find meaning through. Across different cultures, symbols may have different meanings. The Inner Expedition Legends are written by me based on my own collection of experiences, and are meant to be a reference to use to understand your inner world. Creating an alternative legend based on your set of experiences and cultures may be deeply enriching for this practice, and so I have included tools to build your own if that suits you. You are welcome to use the Legend I have created through my years of practicing.

I use Inner Expeditions as a way to process and understand the traumas I have experienced in my life. At it’s soul, it is for the traumatized individual, ready to transmute and transcend the teachings those traumas offer through embodied wisdom.

However, understanding the nuance and complexity of trauma that can be stored in the body, meditative practices can also be traumatic or traumatizing. My suggestion when using this practice is to be in a non-anxious state, and in a headspace where you feel ready to explore your inner world before plugging in. Inner Expeditions can be very emotional as energies move out of the body.

When beginning this practice, is it very natural to doubt what you are envisioning, or think you’re making it all up; you ARE making it all up. That’s what’s special about this practice. By making friends with your mind and healing the relationship with your imagination, Inner Expeditions will help you map the many landscapes you hold within, building an incredible inner world that is rich and full of depth.
