Family & Friends

Caring for someone you love can be a lot to carry. This space is for you.

Rosabacara offers a space for those supporting someone they love through deep transformation.

Whether you feel steady, uncertain, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, this work helps you make sense of what’s happening, stay connected to your own needs and boundaries, and offer support that is grounded, respectful, and discerning.

Change and transformation do not happen in isolation. They move through relationships, families, and communities. These sessions offer a place to tend to your own responses, questions, and emotions, while deepening your understanding of what your loved one may be moving through.

Couple or Family Integration

Helping relationships stay connected through preparation, experience integration.

Sessions for couples, families, or loved ones navigating the impact of psychedelic or plant medicine experiences, whether attending together with the person working with the medicine or seeking support on their own.

Psychedelic and plant medicine work can have profound effects not only on the individual, but on the relationships around them. This offering supports couples, families, and loved ones in developing a deeper understanding of psychedelic and plant medicines, how they work, and what they may bring, while navigating changes together or in parallel, including shifts in identity, emotion, communication, and connection.

The focus is on creating a safe, relational space to support you as a partner, family member, or friend, working with the relational impact from your own position, as the relationship integrates what has been experienced and adjusts to what is unfolding.
