Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this experience for?

Anyone interested in expanding their consciousness, improving quality of life, and becoming more present. The work is also excellent for releasing trauma, stuck energy and emotional heaviness. It is very often a path that brings us home to our selves, and back into connection with the divine, whatever that means to you.

Who is this experience not for?

Typically, anyone right in the middle of a major life shift may want to wait until the dust has settled a bit. (For example, athletes heading into the playoffs, or people navigating a cross-country move.) On a clinical note, schizophrenia is widely recognized as a contraindication for psychedelic work. We also do not work with clients with bipolar diagnoses, though we’re happy to have a conversation and offer appropriate referrals or alternative support.

What’s the benefit of having a guide?

A guide knows the terrain and handles all the logistics so that you can have a deeper, more full experience. The medicine space is unpredictable. Traveling with a sober, skilled person provides more opportunity for freedom, growth, solidarity, and advocacy for you on your journey. The guide facilitates and maintains a high level of integrity from the physical to the energetic. Being witnessed in your journey can also be a very powerful component. A guide is thinking the game along with you. On the most basic level, it’s really helpful to have someone to talk to before, during and after your journey.

What is integration?

Integration is the bridge that allows you to bring the lessons, downloads, realizations and magic from your journey into your everyday life. Post-journey space is a little bit like being a newborn: highly sensitive, highly suggestible, and teeming with potential. Some say (and we agree) that integration is the most important part of the process.
