The Story Behind Open Field

My name is Jenny Farhat. I created Open Field because I know what it feels like to come out of a psychedelic experience and not know how to land.

Raised in an immigrant family and moving between cultures, survival often came first. With parents working long hours, my sister and I spent much of our time alone.

Losing her in high school shattered the one place that felt safe. We had shared a room for sixteen years. After she was gone, the ground beneath me gave out. A deep, unraveling depression took hold. Eating became inconsistent. Sleep came in fragments, haunted by night terrors that lasted for years. I began hearing things. Isolation became the norm. I withdrew from everything and everyone. Extreme situations became a coping mechanism, chasing intensity just to feel something. There was no sense of grounding. Being in my body, or even in my life, felt impossible.

Psychedelics cracked something open in me. I experienced beauty, terror, insight, and complete disorientation. It was profound, but it wasn’t easy. While I felt healed in some ways, what followed were panic attacks, dissociation, and long periods of confusion. I didn’t know how to come back to myself.

Integration became the turning point. I began to study the nervous system. I learned how to regulate my body and ground my energy. I stopped running from what I felt and started building a relationship with it. Over time, I found steady ground.

Today, my work combines lived experience with professional training. I support people who are integrating psychedelic journeys and navigating altered states with care, curiosity, and commitment.

My training includes:

  • Certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist (Embody Lab)

  • Certified Psychedelic Integration Coach (Being True to You)

  • Certified Zendo Project Sitter and Psychedelic Peer Support Specialist (MAPS)

  • Certified in EMDR, EFT, and Hypnotherapy for trauma resolution and nervous system regulation

  • Breathwork teacher and trained facilitator in somatic psychedelic work

  • Ongoing studies in trauma-informed coaching, ethical integration, and harm reduction

Open Field is for the space after the ceremony. The space where everything feels different but nothing around you has changed. It’s for the people asking, now what? And it’s for anyone ready to turn insight into something they can live.

I believe in integration that honors the body, the nervous system, and the complexity of the human experience.

If you’ve touched something big and are wondering how to make it real, you’re in the right place. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
