Our Values

A SAFE, TRUSTED ENVIRONMENT

Everyone begins their journey from their own place. That’s why we meet our clients where they are and help them to feel safe, comfortable and supported. Caring for someone while they are in an altered state is important work, and we take it very seriously.

JOYFUL CURIOSITY

Each individual journey is an adventure, and we want to encourage our clients to explore! Likewise, we remain curious chaperones in your process: this is a non-directive practice, so our goal is to limit our influence on your experience as much as possible.

CLARITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

We like to think of a psilocybin journey as an extended meditation – one that yields a level of clarity & confidence many clients have never experienced before. We aim to embody this feeling, preparing a quiet place within the mind for the effects to unfold.

RESPONSIBILITY & RESPECT

Psilocybin is not new: the mushroom has been in existence longer than human civilization, and humans have been using psychedelic mushrooms therapeutically for thousands of years. We have a deep respect for the environment where this medicine grows, shamanic practices around the world, and the lived experience of all who wish to journey.
