Holistic Framework
We offer a holistic approach to personal growth and development. Rooted in the concept of interconnectedness, we include the dimensions of body, mind, spirit, culture, and Nature in our framework. Our modalities draw on bodywork, dance, movement, art, music, voice, sound, outdoor rituals in Nature, and sacred medicines such as cacao and psilocybin-containing truffles/mushrooms.
At the core of the work is the invitation that you are the medicine and that all other tools serve as catalysts working in expanded states of consciousness for healing, transformation, and empowerment. Our online sessions serve as a screening and inquiry exploration, to preparatory steps, providing a foundation for exploring various topics and themes and guided integration processes. True well-being is interconnected and multifaceted, encompassing physical, mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual, and ecological wellbeing. That's why we take a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all aspects of all life.
