Nigel Pedlingham

As a wanderer who’s found home, Nigel serves as a guide, supporting folk to navigate the rhythms of life. I am the founder of MAGUEY and offer my services here as a consciousness guide, ceremony leader and experienced psychedelic facilitator. In addition to my own practice, I am the chair of the Guild of Guides Netherlands, the professional association for facilitators of legal psychedelic experiences, a guide with the digital psychedelic eco-system Nectara, and a co-facilitator and integration practitioner for a number of other retreat centres around the world. I bring a unique blend of experience to service, formed from 50 years of a well trodden path. A journey with many twists and turns, I have lived in the UK (London and Brighton), The Netherlands, and Nicaragua, and worked and travelled extensively across Europe, The Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. I undertook my first solo round-the-world trip when I was just 18 and ever since hitting the road has been one of my main forms of contemplative and spiritual practice. My professional experience spans the corporate, non-profit, volunteer and the healing and self-development sectors. I have truly worked from the boardroom to the bush and everything in between, working with CEOs, government ministers, community health workers, digital human rights campaigners, the homeless, the queer community, spiritual seekers and those in search of healing. Along the way have been a few serious burnouts, some broken hearts, a coming out and the finding of true love – all of which have contributed to my personal process emergence and growth. Plant medicines and other practices of altered states of consciousness (ASC) have become an integral part of my own life and personal development journey. I am thankful to them for facilitating a wondrous remembering in terms of my own personal spiritual beliefs and existential wisdom and for deepening my sense of inner peace and presence. It is my honour to support others on their journeys.

Best experience in my life

I cannot even put in words what an incredible journey Nigel (with help from Tibor) gave me. The weekend was planned in full detail and with attention of details. Great guidance, perfectly build up to the main event. Personal cards, personal items, personal attention all weekend long. The food was healthy and delicious. The space was a perfect setting for the retraite. Only deep gratefulness for the truly best experience of my life.
About the plant medicine ceremony itself: it’s was magical, I feel healed in so many ways, discovered so many levels about myself. The guidance, the atmosphere, the music it was all chosen so well. I know for sure I will come back again. Thank you so so much. With love Michael

Allowing for the space to fully express

I have had experiences with truffels before and knew what I needed from a facilitator. Someone that knows how to hold the space well. And what a gorgeous space it is. From the moment I arrived I felt taken care of. This allowed me to feel at ease. The ceremony was thoughtful and I got what I needed and more.

Highly Recommend Maguey

After years of feeling disconnected, my session with Nigel was transformative. His guidance and the safe environment he created allowed me to explore deep aspects of myself. I’m now on a path of healing I never thought possible.

Insightful psychedelic journey

I have had two wonderful experiences working with Nigel as my guide on my psychedelic journeys. His professional intake process and carefully crafted, holistic approach helped me to really prepare for the experience. The setting Nigel creates for his sessions is just wonderful and his warm and attentive guidance made me feel I could fully trust him with my experience. I have had two wonderful and insightful journeys, guided by beautiful playlists or Nigel playing or chanting himself. Nigel was there any time I needed him, with his gentle presence. The integration work after the sessions was really helpful to further reflect on and deepend the experience. Would recommend working with Nigel without any hesitation.

Psychedelic Selfdiscovery Program

The ceremony day was a wonderful journey in my body, head, heart, floating in landscapes, in history and the now, with people I know or had never met. Accompanied by beautiful music, scents, rituals.
Nigel's professionalism and loving attention are impressive.
I am very grateful that I was able to concentrate on this entire process (see the program) for a number of weeks this winter. For me it was not 'just a one day' psychedelic-ceremony or experience.
It has given me a far deeper connection to what is important to me and how to move forward with it. Special thanks for that Nigel.
So, observe this invitation you're looking at right now! And consider going for it! It's a great gift!
