Preparation
How you arrive shapes what is possible. We dedicate time before any session to building trust, clarifying intention, and ensuring you feel resourced and ready to engage with the experience.
Our vision
Where personal healing meets collective change
We are living through a profound mental health crisis. Many people feel disconnected — from themselves, from others, and from any deeper sense of meaning or belonging. Our work is rooted in a commitment to supporting reconnection: to one's inner life, to community, and to something larger than oneself.
The responsible use of plant medicines is not new. These practices have existed across cultures throughout human history, most often in contexts that emphasize healing, relationship, and collective care. We approach this work with humility — honoring those traditions, acknowledging both their wisdom and the responsibility they carry.
When held in a safe, intentional, and well-supported setting, these experiences can help people step outside habitual patterns of thought and perception. They can open space to re-examine one's relationship to self, others, and the world — allowing for meaningful shifts in long-held beliefs, emotional patterns, and ways of being.
In times of personal and collective crisis, this kind of shift can be transformative. Not as a quick fix, but as a catalyst: an opening that, when integrated with care, can support more conscious choices, deeper empathy, and a renewed sense of connection.
Our practice is grounded in trauma-informed, ethical principles. We prioritize preparation, safety, and integration — understanding that the experience itself is only one part of the process. Lasting change is built through what comes after: how insights are embodied, supported, and lived over time.
We take a holistic view of healing, recognizing the interplay between mind, body, relationships, and environment. And we believe that individual transformation does not happen in isolation: as people reconnect with themselves and their values, that change can ripple outward — shaping how we relate to one another, how we care for our communities, and how we participate in building a more compassionate society.
This is where personal healing meets collective change: not through ideology, but through lived experience, ethical practice, and a sustained commitment to learning, advocacy, and care.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for thousands of years across cultures worldwide as tools for healing and self-discovery. Today, a growing body of clinical research is confirming their potential to support deep psychological and emotional change.
In our work, we have witnessed firsthand their capacity to open new perspectives and create space for lasting transformation. It is physiologically non-toxic and non-addictive, making it one of the safest substances studied in the field of psychedelic medicine.

The full spectrum of care
Lasting change requires more than a single experience. Our work integrates multiple complementary modalities to support you at every stage of the process.
Somatics
The body holds what the mind cannot always access. Somatic practices help you listen to and integrate experience through physical awareness and sensation.
Relational Field
We are shaped in relationship, and we heal in relationship. Sharing circles and authentic relating workshops offer a held space to meet others honestly and find resonance in shared experience.
Meditation
Stillness is a skill. Meditation practices support you in developing the inner steadiness needed to meet whatever arises — before, during, and after a session.
Expressive Arts
Words are not always enough. Drawing, writing, movement, and voice offer alternative pathways to process and give form to deep inner experience.
Rest
Rest is not passive — it is part of the work. Space for stillness and integration is woven intentionally throughout the process.
1-1 Care
Every journey is unique. Individual sessions ensure that support, pacing, and attention are fully tailored to you.
Nature
The natural world has long been a space for reflection and renewal. Time in nature is offered as a grounding and restorative complement to inner work.
Sound
Sound can bypass the analytical mind and move directly into the body. Carefully chosen music and acoustic elements support depth, safety, and emotional release.
Nervous System Regulation
Feeling safe is the foundation of any deep work. Regulation tools — including breathwork, grounding practices, and co-regulation — are woven throughout the entire process to support stability and resilience at every stage.
Integration
The session is just the beginning. Integration is the ongoing process of making meaning from what arose — weaving insights into daily life through reflection, support, and continued practice.
Our core values
These principles are not aspirational — they shape every conversation, every preparation, every ceremony, every integration call. Hover or tap any value to read more.
Physical, psychological, and relational safety is the foundation of everything we do. Before, during, and after every experience, we ensure that proper protocols, informed preparation, and emergency procedures are in place. We never work beyond our competencies.
Consent is not a formality — it is an ongoing conversation. We ensure that every participant is fully informed, never pressured, and free to set boundaries at any point in the process. We are especially mindful of the heightened suggestibility that psychedelic states can bring.
We believe that genuine healing begins when nothing needs to be hidden or performed. We create space where the full spectrum of one's being — the vulnerable, the joyful, the difficult, the tender — is not only accepted but welcomed.
We are sincere about what we offer, what we know, and what we don't. We make no exaggerated claims about psychedelics or their outcomes, and we are transparent about our credentials, intentions, and the realistic nature of transformation.
We hold ourselves to high standards in how we speak, act, and show up — in session and beyond. This means ongoing training, peer supervision, honest self-reflection, and a commitment to addressing the power dynamics inherent in this kind of work.
We actively work to challenge prejudice and make this work accessible to people of diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Aspiring toward inclusion is not a destination but a continuous practice.
Healing is relational. We tend carefully to the field we create together — between guides and participants, and among participants themselves. The quality of that community is inseparable from the quality of the work.
We are grateful recipients of ancient knowledge, living traditions, and ongoing scientific research. We hold a responsibility to give back — to the communities, cultures, and ecosystems we draw from — and to contribute meaningfully to the wider field.
We see this work as part of a broader movement toward collective healing and social change. Psychedelic-assisted therapy is not only a personal journey — it is a political and cultural one, and we engage with that reality consciously.
We are here for the people we work with, not the other way around. Our guides invest in their own wellbeing and practice good self-care precisely so they can show up fully in service — present, resourced, and genuinely available.
Depth and lightness are not opposites. We hold space for curiosity, humor, and joy as authentic dimensions of healing — because transformation doesn't always look serious, and the capacity to play is itself a sign of safety.
We mark moments. Gratitude and celebration are woven into how we gather — recognising progress, honoring courage, and acknowledging the simple fact of being alive and in process together.
We live in a world that asks a great deal of us. This work is an invitation to slow down, replenish, and return to oneself. Restoration is not a luxury — it is a necessary condition for lasting change.
We hold space for the full range of what can emerge in ceremony — including experiences that reach beyond the personal into the sacred, the mysterious, or the transcendent. We do not impose any particular framework, but we do not shy away from depth.
We are not separate from each other, from nature, or from the wider web of life. This work often brings that felt sense of connection into direct experience — and we see tending to those relationships as central to healing.
Nothing replaces being fully here. We cultivate presence as a practice — in our guides, in our spaces, and in the quality of attention we bring to every moment of the journey together.
Creativity is not a talent — it is a way of meeting life. We encourage creative expression as a means of exploration and integration, trusting that making something — however imperfect — can reveal what words alone cannot.
This work asks something of us. We approach every aspect of it — how we prepare, how we show up, how we follow through — with care, deliberateness, and a deep respect for what is being undertaken.

How we ensure safety
- Medical screeningEvery participant completes a medical and psychological screening before being accepted onto a retreat.
- Informed consentParticipants receive full information about the substance, the setting, the risks and the process before committing.
- Legal frameworkAll retreats take place in jurisdictions where the work we offer is legal and regulated.
- Co-facilitationNo ceremony is led alone. A trained team holds the space together.
- Integration supportParticipants receive structured integration support after the retreat ends — not only during.
Held by the land.
We choose every retreat venue with care, looking for places that already hold a quality of stillness — rural farmhouses, secluded countryside, open landscapes far enough from everyday life that arrival is a real passage.
The land is part of the container. Forest, open sky and quiet trails are not decoration; they support the nervous system to settle and the work to find its own rhythm.
Nourishment as practice.
What you eat during a retreat is never incidental. The meals are part of how the body recovers, how the nervous system regulates, and how the work lands.
Our chefs are passionate foodies, dedicated to preparing meals that are healthy, nourishing and beautifully made — plant-forward, seasonal, organic where we can. Eating well together becomes one of the simplest pleasures of the week.
Who is it for
This work is for adults approaching psychedelics with intention — whether for emotional healing, reflection, creative unblocking, or deeper self-inquiry — and who are willing to engage seriously with preparation and integration.
It is not appropriate for everyone. Several contraindications exclude participation on safety grounds:
- Psychiatric history: personal history of psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder), bipolar I disorder, or any past manic or hypomanic episode, given the risk of destabilisation. Severe or unstabilised borderline personality disorder is also a contraindication.
- Cardiovascular conditions: uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, recent heart attack or stroke, heart failure, significant arrhythmia, prolonged QT interval, or congenital long QT syndrome.
- Other medical conditions: epilepsy or history of seizures, current pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Current medications: lithium (significantly increased risk of seizures and delirium) and MAOIs (risk of hypertension and hyperthermia). SSRIs and SNRIs are not strictly contraindicated but can substantially dampen the therapeutic effect — a gradual taper, coordinated with your prescribing doctor, is usually needed.
Our medical and psychological screening is designed to establish all of this carefully and kindly, and to determine together whether this work is right for you at this point in your life.
If you are unsure whether this work is right for you at this time, the best first step is simply a conversation.
