For this program, we work mainly with Psilocybin but also utilize other sacred “plant medicines” (such as Sananga, Mimosa and hapé) when applicable.

James’ depth of experience in leading transformative “plant medicine” journeys is underpinned by a rich academic and practical background. He possesses a Master’s degree in psychology, is a certified coach and has spent over a decade working with individuals to achieve their goals. Over five years, James has guided thousands of individuals through their personal journeys, encompassing 17 group ceremonies, numerous individual sessions, and over 25 large group ceremonies with 30 to 50+ participants.

As a master sound healer, he has dedicated three years to conducting hundreds of soundbath sessions. Furthermore, James’ shamanic healing practice is deeply informed by years of study under the guidance of a shaman from the Michael Harner lineage, reflecting a direct connection to revered shamanic traditions. With over seven years of practice in shamanic healing, James exhibits an expert ability to manage and navigate through the most intense experiences. His unique strength lies in his capacity to hold space, remaining unphased by any challenges, ensuring a supportive and transformative experience for all participants.

At the end of the 5 weeks, after 9 hours of guided support, you will have a ceremony preparation plan, 5 weeks under your belt of practicing your tailored self care routine, and will have a refined intention for the retreat weekend. Importantly, you will have the unique experience of having built personal connections with your ceremonial guide and other program participants as you come together on this profound journey.

You will arrive on Friday and settle into your space for the evening.  Ceremony will begin  in the evening.   as we open ceremony, we focus on  creating the space for the evening and getting everybody feeling grounded and ready for the night ahead.  Ceremony often includes partnering with other plant allies such as sananga or hapé.

In the weeks after the retreat weekend,  we will focus on implementing your integration action plan.  these sessions will be an opportunity for you to share and process  your experience with yourself and with the group and your guide,  and have accountability with each other to help us ensure we are  integrating effectively.

There are some important preparations for retreat weekend.  The beauty of the five-week preparation process is that you will not only know how to prepare the week before but also have been preparing for a month already. Specifically,  We suggest that you focus on eating a clean organic diet free from processed foods two weeks before Retreat weekend and staying hydrated with water and electrolyte supplementation.

We have various accommodation options from communal arrangement, shared rooms  and private rooms.

This program is a catalyst for change.  Completing this program means that you’ve achieved a significant courageous goal,  committing yourself to the  intense work required to truly benefit from your relationship with “plant medicines.” At the end of this program you will have fully implemented a habitual self-care routine tailored to your specific needs.  not only from a practice perspective but from a scientific perspective you’ve created new neural pathways  and have crossed the threshold of the 66 days it’s required to turn a conscious action into an unconscious one.  you will have new friends and connections,  bonded by an experience few have had the pleasure of being part of.  you will heal,  you will grow, you will develop your sense of being and the world around you.  all of these things are available to you and we’ve created this program so that the only thing you have to do is show up and do the work in front of you. You will get as much as you put in and the possibilities are endless.
