What we’re about
Hello fellow explorers! We are a community of healing. Gather your tools to heal mind, heart, body and spirit. We combine plant medicines/psychedelics/empathogens with the power of nature, breathwork, cold water, movement, meditation, story telling, and community.
In this group you will find guided wilderness retreats that include transformational medicine journeys, and adventures that centre healing with psychedelics in a safe, small group environment.
Want to know more about who we are and what we do? Head on over to Breathing in Nature.
We see deep healing as bravely diving into ourselves, past the defenses of consciousness, past the countless layers of conditioning and automated reactions. When we work with our plant allies and psychedelic medicines we get to entertain new perspectives, experience deep insights, emotional breakthroughs and even a complete reprogramming.
So why do we use psychedelics for healing?
1. Radical shift in perspective
It’s all about perspective! We are mostly stuck in our ways of seeing and thinking. It takes a transformational experience to really shake us up, that’s where the medicines come in. In our journeys, our brain lights up and connects in ways that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. We literally reboot our prefrontal cortex.
2. Out of your mind
Most of us are stuck in our heads, thinking and overthinking. With psychedelics we can discover, access, and connect with all parts of our being. Letting go of the need to control, think and analyze, the brain takes a backseat to heart, body and spirit. As our defences and blocks melt away, we gain direct access to our unconscious, to our shadow.
3. Into heart and body
With our thinky brain on pause, we naturally access trapped and unprocessed parts of ourselves that hold stories, emotions and physical sensations. We can release trauma stored in the body through shakes and tremors. We can feel what needs to be felt, shout in anger, laugh hysterically or cry with grief. We can work with energy and create powerful psychedelic imagery and storylines that don’t need to make sense.
4. It's experiences that change us
Talking about our problems only gets us so far. With psychedelics we go on a heroic adventure without necessarily ever moving a muscle. We experience a multi-sensory journey within. Sometimes we need an awakening experience to rattle us and shake us free from our mundane existence.
5. Feeling deeply connected
Most of us are completely disconnected from our spirit. In the psychedelic realm, we can find meaning, purpose, universal love and feel the connection to others, nature, all living things, the universe and a greater force. It gets weird!

## Flow of the Weekend
## Friday: Arrival
We arrive at our beautiful home away from home in the early afternoon and get settled in. We gather in circle around the fire to open the container for the weekend with breathwork. We hear each others stories of healing. We share a deliscious dinner and chat about expectations for the weekend in general and the medicine journey in particular.
## Saturday: Group Medicine Journey
This healing weekend is about the Sacred Ceremony with transformational medicine. Our hearts will be open, connected to each other, and connected to all life. The intense love and compassion of the day will allow you to turn this healing energy inwards. We explore our blocks to giving and receving love. The great block of FEAR will release and you will hear your truth. Being witnessed by your sisters in community is the true medicine.
## Sunday: Integration & Closing
The integration of our medicine experiene is all about making sense of what happened to us: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. We tap into self energy with our breath, take a cold plunge into the lake and share what has come up for us. Hearing our own story and sharing these parts of us is what helps us integrate and grow from the experience. Sunday is all about rest and recovery.
We allow the powerful energy of gratitude to flow through us. Thanking ourselves for showing up, thankful for the experiences we shared and being present with each other. We close the container of ceremony around the fire. Renewed in our strength as women, understanding that we are the medicine and everything we need is already within us. This is the beginning of your journey.
