Plate I · First light, before you go in
— Preparation · Before the experience
You're not looking
for hype.
You're looking for clarity.
Something important is going to happen, and you want to walk into it with a real intention — not a wish. Integro helps you prepare with structure, honesty, and realistic expectations.
Clarity before the crossing.
Structure inside the door.
— Section II · Before you walk in
"You cannot prepare for everything.
But you can get clear about what you're there for."
Clarify what you're actually there for.
Not what you hope happens. What you intend to bring, to ask, to offer. The difference is the work.
Set expectations that are grounded, not inflated.
The experience is not the transformation. The integration is. Walking in without understanding that is walking in unprepared.
Build your integration map before you go.
The themes you want to explore. The practices you'll return to. The first days after, already named.
Understand the full arc — not just the peak.
What opens in the experience must be held afterward. Preparation is the first act of that holding.
— Section III · The system
Four roles, before you go in.
Most preparation is reading. This is different. Integro works with you over weeks, building the structure that makes your integration possible.
Names — your intention — before it becomes a wish.
In your first session, Tegra draws out what you're actually going in for. Not what you hope will happen — what you intend to bring, ask, and offer.
Maps — the integration arc before the experience begins.
The themes you want to hold. The questions you're carrying. The practices you'll return to in the first days after. All named in advance.
Sequences — daily preparation practices over weeks, not days.
Compounding practices calibrated to where you are now — your capacity, your time, your specific intention. Built to grow, not to overwhelm.
Connects — you to a campfire of others also preparing.
When you're ready, a small group of people in the same arc. Held by the Five Agreements. No performance. Real preparation, in community.
— Section IV · The preparation flow
Four weeks. One clear intention.
You don't need four weeks. You need enough time to do the work honestly. Some people move faster. The sequence doesn't change — only the pace.
Onboarding
Days 1–3
Name your intention.
The session that grounds everything.
Your first session with Tegra draws out what you're actually going in for — the specific intention, not the general hope. Everything that follows is built from this.
One session. One named thing.
Practice
Week 1
Begin daily preparation.
Short practices. Real compounding.
Five-minute practices, sequenced by Tegra, calibrated to your intention and your capacity. Not a reading list — a doing practice, starting now.
Five minutes, every morning.
Framework
Weeks 2–3
Build your integration map.
Before you go in, name what comes after.
The themes you want to hold. The directives you'll return to. The first three days after the experience, already named and structured. This is the map you'll have when you need it most.
A map for the days after.
Community
Week 4
A campfire, if you want it.
Optional. Real.
A small group of people in the same arc — also preparing, also carrying something. Held by the Five Agreements. No performance, no pressure. Ready when you are.
Community, on your terms.
— Section V · The outcome
- —
A clear, named intention — not a hope.
- —
Realistic expectations about the arc, not just the peak.
- —
An integration framework, built before you go in.
- —
Daily practices already running.
- —
Community ready when you want it.
"You won't have all the answers.
But you'll know what you're there for."
That is enough. In fact, that is the whole thing. Walking in clear is walking in prepared.
— a question to begin with
Begin the work
before the work begins.
The preparation is not the waiting room. It's the practice.
A note on what we are not. Integro supports preparation, reflection, integration, and personal growth. It is not medical care, not diagnosis, not crisis intervention, and does not promote substance use.
