Two books, one thread — weaving the sacred journey from experience to embodiment, from ache to wholeness.
Integration Alchemy is now available for pre-order.
These companion works are born from the same source —
the art of remembering what is real.
Integration Alchemy and Mother Ache trace the spiral of transformation: grounding revelation into daily life, and reweaving love where it was once forgotten.
Together they form a living body of work devoted to presence, compassion, and the wisdom of the body — guiding us home, again and again.
Integration Alchemy: The Real Ceremony Is Your Life
(January 2026 — Sentient Publications, distributed by Simon & Schuster)
Integration Alchemy is a guide for seekers who wish to embody the wisdom received through sacred plant medicine. It bridges insight and daily life — helping the healing, clarity, and self-understanding revealed in ceremony take root in the body and heart.
Blending teachings from South American and Eastern wisdom lineages with modern therapeutic practices, this book invites a grounded return to wholeness. It offers a map for anchoring in the body, exploring the mind and emotions, and tending the layers of transformation that continue to unfold long after the ceremony ends.
Integration is the act of reciprocity to the plantas maestras, to the wisdom keepers, to Pachamama herself. Your life is the ceremony — this book is the guide to live it fully.
Thank you for tending this work into the world.
Early Praise for Integration Alchemy
-
With humility, precision, and warmth, Deva Arani invites us into the living work of integration, where the insights of ceremony become pathways of embodied change. Rooted in trauma-informed sensitivity and a deep reverence for the sacred, this book honors both the vulnerability and the courage required to truly heal. It is a trustworthy companion for anyone walking the tender bridge between revelation and real life.
— Matt Licata, Ph.D., psychotherapist and author of A Healing Space: Befriending Ourselves in Difficult Times and The Path Is Everywhere: Uncovering the Jewels Hidden Within You
-
"Integration Alchemy by Deva Arani is a thoughtful and much-needed reflection on the 'psychedelic renaissance,' a movement whose antinomianism sits uneasily alongside the spiritual traditions of humanity and their sacred epistemologies. Given the current mental health epidemic, and its roots in today’s spiritual crisis, many are looking to entheogens for relief. She offers seekers various ways in which to think about the use of traditional remedies in support of our journey toward healing and wholeness."
—Samuel Bendeck Sotillos, PsyD, LPCC, LMFT, author of Psyche and the Sacred: Integrating Mental Health and Spiritual Well-Being
-
In Integration Alchemy, Deva gently guides the reader with a steady, loving hand through the inner and outer journey of integration. Her lived experience, embodied practices and accumulated wisdom are a valuable resource for anyone, both before and after plant medicine ceremony.

The Mother Ache: Healing the Wounded Daughter Within
(May 2026 — Sentient Publications, distributed by Simon & Schuster)
The Mother Ache is a guide to healing the mother wound as a sacred rite of passage. Through the ancient metaphor of basket weaving, it offers a grounded, spiritual, and embodied framework for transforming generational pain into presence, purpose, and power.
Structured around the twelve-stage ACHE process, each chapter explores a feminine archetype and a weaving task that mirrors the psychological, emotional, and energetic stages of healing the wounded daughter within.
More than a self-help book, The Mother Ache is an invitation to remembrance. It honors the parts of us that were forgotten or shamed and offers tools to reweave them into wholeness. Drawing from psychology, somatic healing, sacred feminine archetypes, and ancestral wisdom, it speaks to daughters, seekers, and cycle-breakers longing to come home to themselves.
You do not need a perfect mother to feel whole. You need the willingness to sit with what was, the courage to hold what aches, and the trust to weave love through your own hands.
These books are born from years of sitting with seekers, daughters, and medicine journeys — from listening to the quiet ways healing moves through a life. Each word carries the same intention that guides my work: to help us remember what is sacred, to bring love where there was absence, and to live the ceremony of being human with tenderness and truth.
