Integration guide

Individual online integration session

"I returned home with a deep sense of being humbled by this existence and all that comes with it and a feeling of belonging, soft joy and wonder. Even though I was a
bit anxious about a group retreat at first this experience felt as a valuable profound gift and I enjoyed all the various stages of the retreat." Christian, Amsterdam

"From my initial enquiry through to the post-retreat support, I felt like I was in safe hands with Nigel. His wisdom, humour and
compassion were greatly appreciated throughout the process. A unique and valuable experience." Owen, London, UK

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!
Magda, Hilversum

Integration circle review
A few months after a quietly transformative ceremony, I was invited to join an integration circle.

As always, he made it a welcoming, positive and illuminating experience and continues to be an extraordinary guide.

Thank you Nigel.
