That's exactly why this retreat exists—to give you the experience you need in a safe, supportive environment. Many participants arrive feeling uncertain and leave with embodied confidence. The retreat is specifically designed for people who don't yet feel ready but feel called to this work.

This is a common concern. I create an intimate container limited to just 6-10 participants, ensuring everyone feels safe and supported. The group is carefully screened and prepared before the retreat, creating a cohesive environment of mutual respect and care. Many participants who were initially nervous about group journeys tell me afterward that the group energy actually enhanced their experience.

Most trainings focus only on theory and may stretch over months without ever letting you actually guide a ceremony. The Embodied Guide Approach is different because you'll actually guide real journeys with expert support, AND experience a journey yourself—all in one weekend. This dual-role experience creates embodied confidence that no amount of theoretical training could provide.

We offer multiple retreats throughout the year. During your application conversation, we can discuss upcoming dates that might work better for your schedule. We also offer a flexible transfer policy that allows you to move your spot to a future retreat if needed.

While prior personal experience with sacred mushrooms is helpful, it's not strictly required. What's most important is that you feel called to this work and approach it with reverence, integrity, and a genuine desire to support others. During our application conversation, we can discuss your specific background and ensure this retreat is the right fit for your journey.

Your investment includes ongoing access to our community of guides who can support you as you begin facilitating your own ceremonies. You'll have peers to turn to for advice, encouragement, and continued learning. Many graduates form lasting friendships and even collaborate on future ceremonies together.
