Who is this for?
You feel called to explore psychedelic therapy or entheogenic mysticism in a safe, legal, and relational container.
You want emotional clarity, healing, and deeper access to your inner world.
You’re navigating depression, trauma, relational patterns, or spiritual transformation and talk therapy alone hasn’t shifted things.
You want support before, during, and after a medicine experience - not just the experience itself.
