A Deep Dive Into Your Soul
Beautiful Friend,
When the inner world changes, the outer world rearranges.
Welcome! You have chosen an unusual and powerful path – an ancient tradition chosen by shamans, healers and elders wishing to expand their consciousness way beyond their natural capacities, wishing to achieve profound healing for themselves and others. The medicine is helping us transcend the boundaries of our limited human experience by accessing a realm of expanded seeing, feeling and understanding. In this sacred space we can access higher dimensions, sink into lower levels
of our subconscious and understand connections and interrelations we have not yet been aware of. Imagine taking a cable car to the top of the mountain. For a few hours we are able to see our life from a bird’s perspective. We are able to connect the dots in a new way, to detect coping mechanisms we installed in early years and to bring light into dark areas. A journey is a moment of awakening, of home coming of deep transformation.
Come And Join Us If
You sense that certain aspects of your life (connection to self, relationships, sense of purpose) are not flowing as smoothly as you would like.
You are you still “looping” in an endless repetition of unhelpful patterns and can not find your way out.
You are facing mood swings, sleepless nights, overwhelm and exhaustion leading you to sense of hopelessness
You are unwillingly choosing the psychosomatic way; your body expresses what you may not want to acknowledge or see.
You want to change direction, enter new territory, unfold into the next chapter of your life don’t know how.
You are curious to detect unconscious patterns and filters and connect the dots in an often-surprising way.
We are inviting you to experience
- 1.A new protocol combining 3 weeks of micro-dosing to prepare your Journey- Ritual and 3 weeks of micro dosing to integrate the experience. Allowing your brain and energy system to ease into the experience has proven to facilitate a much deeper experience and enables long-lasting transformation.
- 2.This new and cutting- edge approach has been tested by our friends and collaborators from Bhavani (Mexico) who will supervise and personalize the process with us and make sure you benefit from these exceptional healing compounds in the best possible way.
- 3.Your preparation will occur over several sessions leading up our 5-day retreat in October. This allows you to open up gradually, to connect to deep-seated subconscious layers and break through barriers and limitations which have been hindering you to fully flourish.
- 4.The healing space we offer bridges insights and tools from modern psychology (trauma therapy, scientific research) with ancient wisdom, the mystical schools and above all the intelligence and mastery of the teacher plants and fungi.
- 5.You are lovingly guided by 2 human beings who have explored the field for decades, are connected through their passion to offer healing, and to create the safe container needed for you to enter unknown territories, to see yourself and the world with clarity and through a new lens and perspective.

Owning your story is important. We will have a closer and more detailed look at the first 15 years of your life as this exploration will give invaluable information about how you have become who you are today.
The foundation of your “operating system” was created back then and is very much influencing your life today. Your story will help us to examine important areas of your life, decisions you have taken, responsibilities you avoided, pain you ignored. Your psychedelic journey helped us to feel into the complexity of your inner landscape and to shine a light into the darker areas of your subconscious.
Your operating system
- Filters: Your filters define the way you see your reality. As a child, you learned to cope and to look through a certain lens, which made it easier to come to terms with the sometimes harsh reality of your life. Later in life you use the same filters to adjust and soften your perception of reality. This becomes especially prominent in the realm of relating for example when we choose to only focus on positive traits in a partner and remaining blind to more unsavory aspects.
- Patterns: What scars are you left with and how do they influence your life today? How can you become more aware of how subconscious patterns are driving your life and, especially when peak performance is required, become a default mode of operation?
- Subconscious: Psychedelic journeys show that we do remember everything. By now, I see our subconscious like an Excel Sheet – all events are meticulously recorded whether we remember or not. To become more aware of some hurtful events in the past will help us to identify why and how we handle certain situations today.
- Your Emotional Landscape: We are looking at your childhood experiences within the realm of relating, looking at relating patterns in your family, becoming fully aware of what your emotional landscape looks like.
- Dissociation: Psychedelic Journeys help us to see where we dissociated and why. When we have to deal with “too much too early” we dissociate to survive to get by, to cope. Later this can become a habit and a systematic way to deal with things, making it difficult for you to stay present and to feel what is going on (versus staying in the head and feeling nothing). Especially for men, this is an important step on their healing path. You will become aware how you disconnect from certain emotions, your intuition and your inner feminine. This is a major step in becoming whole again.
When you work within a psychedelic container, intention setting is key.
The medicine will open up your energy system and help you to connect with your feelings. As a rule: psilocybin (the magic mushroom compound) will reveal what is suppressed, will amplify what does not want to be seen, will highlight what you need to feel and understand in order to further heal, grow, come home to yourself
In our session, we will focus on your “Intention”, meaning we will work on that one question which will serve as your guideline and red thread throughout your process and leading up to your Journey.
To make sure that you are on the right path, we will meet for a 1:1 session, or connect you to another group member so that you can talk and support each other in the process. We will discuss with you what works best, and what you feel is more supportive for your process.
Most importantly: you will not be left alone. We will make sure that you keep on track and get the most out of the experience.
A group journey helps us to understand the phenomena of the “group- field”. We will be in a field together and that in itself is a fascinating experience. We will understand how important safety is for all of us. The safer you feel, the safer the group feels, the deeper we can go.
It is therefore a good idea to meet via Zoom before we meet in person. We will offer the opportunity to get to know each other before the retreat weekend to work on our “safe space”.
Safe space means that you feel loved, seen, at ease. This space is non-judgmental, compassionate and inclusive. Your needs will be our priority.
The 5-day retreat will consist of 2 ceremonies on the Thursday and Saturday evening. To support your preparation and integration while together we have developed a program that will combine, meditation, breathwork, nature immersions and thermal contrasting using the Steam room and the magical loch for cold plunging. There will be plenty of time for reflections, journaling and group discussions to help with the deepening of your process. Our team also includes an incredible chef who will be nourishing you with organic, vegetarian cuisine.
Your integration process is a most important part of this experience. How can you integrate your insights into your everyday life? What is needed to create “new grooves”, patterns and habits after this intensive deep dive?
Below you will find important guidelines for the weeks to come. Your integration work is a work of precision, we would therefore like to kindly remind you: the more you invest, the more you will get out of it.
1. Self- Care for a gentle landing
Please do remember that your energy system is wide open, please practice the “art of exquisite self- care”: a salt Bath, walks in nature, a massage, meditation & stillness. Numbing (alcohol, working too much and distractions) will make your system shut down faster, hence interrupt or stop the process.
2. Writing – Journaling
It is most important to journal. Ideally without pressure or having preconceived ideas about what to say. The question is, what wants to emerge once you put your pen on paper? This practice is known as intuitive writing – don’t overthink, and simply allow the words to flow from your subconscious. Initially, you may feel some resistance, but by staying the course, you will be amazed by the unexpected insights and messages that begin to surface.
We access the subconscious through intuitive writing, especially after a Journey, as the gates to the subconscious are still open.
3. Your playlist – How to use it
Ideally take a moment, light a candle, start with 3minutes of silence, choose a song and listen eyes closed. You will be able to reconnect with your subconscious. During your Journey, we anchored insights, emotional states or memories through a particular song. By listening to the music, you will be able to remember and this can be a door opener to go deeper.
It is useful to write after you listened.
4. Journey Report
The best way to proceed is to open a page in your journal (or a document on your computer) and add your thoughts as they come. Starting immediately after your experience ensures that you capture and retain all valuable insights while they are still fresh in your mind.
You will look at your life with a different perspective, as insights will continue to emerge, helping you in navigating new terrain, changing patterns that no longer serve you, or rebuilding your relationships.
Writing is the greatest favour you can do for yourself and the best way to support your inner growth.
Themes and topics that surfaced during our sessions tend to unfold and deepen in the following 2 to 3 weeks, hence allowing continued growth, insight, and transformation and making it crucial to stay attentive and engaged with the process.

Fernando González (Founder)
Fernando has been working with psychedelics for over 16 years, primarily with ayahuasca and mushrooms, as well as studying their application and influence in the neurological field and their influence on the perception of relative reality and field of consciousness.
He has developed 22 microdosing protocols with different types of mushrooms to support mental health, including degenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and senile dementia), as well as anxiety, depression, addictions, ADD/ADHD, OCD, PTSD, fibromyalgia, and cluster migraines, among others. He has designed over 4000 personalized microdosing treatments and accompanied individuals in their integration process in 32 countries.
He has guided and accompanied over 500 people in therapeutic macrodoses with Ayahuasca and mushrooms in Brazil, Peru, and Mexico. This experience, combined with his specialization in agroforestry, knowledge of plants, natural supplements, and adaptogens, has allowed him to design and produce specific formulas to support integral health by selecting the best genetic material.
Facts & Science
The psychedelic realm allows us to acquire understanding through an embodied experience rather than cognitive knowledge. To actually feel things. In a world of disconnect and disassociation, psychedelics help us unite the work of the left and right brain, the divine energies of the feminine and masculine, the wisdom of the heart-soul and mind.
Dr James Fadiman:
Dr. James Fadiman and Sophia Korb have presented the results of their long-running micro dosing research. By now, they’ve analysed experience-stories of more than 1850 people from 30 countries, between 18 and 77 years old it shows to:
- To travel better through the body
- To put the wrong connections back in the right place, in our nervous system, in our brain stem
- To improve the function of mitochondria.
- To (re-)balance people
- To improve the relationships with their bodies and become more attuned to their needs.
- To create beneficial patterns, such as sleeping better, eating healthier, and even quitting addictions.
Imperial College London
People treated with psilocybin – named ‘COMP360’ by its developers, COMPASS Pathways PLC – showed marked improvements across a range of subjective measures, including in their ability to feel pleasure, and express emotions, greater reductions in anxiety and suicidal ideation, and increased feelings of wellbeing.
Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, Head of the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial, who designed and led the study, said: “These results comparing two doses of psilocybin therapy with 43 daily doses of one of the best performing SSRI antidepressants help contextualise psilocybin’s promise as a potential mental health treatment. Remission rates were twice as high in the psilocybin group than the escitalopram group.
“One of the most important aspects of this work is that people can clearly see the promise of properly delivered psilocybin therapy by viewing it compared with a more familiar, established treatment in the same study. Psilocybin performed very favourably in this head-to-head.”
