Nigredo (Blackening) – the descent into oneself; dissolving old layers and patterns. This stage includes a self-anointing ritual with black sesame oil.

Rubedo (Reddening) – the embodiment of one’s creative power and the formation of a personal credo. This stage includes breathwork, meditation, mindful water drinking, and an integration ritual to complete the process.
