About the Teacher

Why study with them?

​​I'm Oliver, from the UK and a teacher by profession. I work in an international university in Barcelona and teach English in the village where I live.

I embarked upon a process with psilocybin mushrooms in 2018. Approaching the age of 50, and feeling restless and adventurous, I took a high dose of mushrooms in a controlled setting with a therapist. Since then I have worked with altered states of consciousness to create a series of changes in my life. I moved to the countryside, got married, started gardening and generally started to value and prioritise relationships in a way that I had not done previously.

I explored practices such as meditation, drumming and chanting as a way of making me more centred in my body and in the present. I have travelled to Mexico to participate in ceremonies with curanderas and also to share knowledge with them. In addition, I started to accompany others who wished to experience a journey with psilocybin mushrooms in a controlled environment and also became active within the Psychedelic Society of Barcelona, helping to organise events and participating in discussions.

More recently I have been exploring a range of therapeutic techniques such as reiki and sound therapy both for personal development and also to accompany others, whether it be on a psychedelic journey or for more everyday therapeutic purposes.

I also take great pleasure in cultivating psilocybe mushrooms.

A truly inspiring and talented leader
It is hard to find the right words for Ollie - there are so many and yet not enough. From my first call with him he was reassuring and supportive, genuine and open. He has a very calming presence which gently and non-intrusively invites you to open up your most vulnerable places, which he holds with great compassion and care, carefully listening and delicately questioning. His wisdom and experience with plant medicine are clear and were very reassuring to me as someone relatively inexperienced in this practice. His respect for and connection with nature is plain to see and deeply inspiring. His musical talents, beautiful haunting voice and instrumental skill are mesmerising, both during and outside of the Ceremony. His humility cannot hide the empathy, wisdom and care held deeply within a shining old soul. He also gives the best hugs! I felt literally and emotionally held in complete safety and support throughout the entire experience; never judged, always heard, sometimes advised, sometimes gently challenged, but always held with the utmost care and humanity. Ollie is the beating heart of After the Rains and a rare and special human being, and it was a great privilege to have him walk alongside me during my experience. I have been forever changed by the love, guidance and respectful care shown to me by this wonderful man. Thank you 🙏🏻

one to one session with Oliver
I may be repeating myself here - not sure if my last review went through.
My one to one session with Oliver was remarkable.
I felt cared for from the moment I booked. the guidance and care was evident from the start.
The ceremony was an experience that i can’t put into words, the visuals, emotions, smells of sage/ pine and amazing sound bath of gongs - took me to a different dimension and i really hope this will change my life for the better. Took me to places in my mind i’d forgotten , a different level of consciousness.
The vila where the ceremony took place was beautiful.
This centuries old ceremonial practice is something we should all be given the chance to experience. There’s a reason they’ve been doing this for years.
The after effects of the ceremony are a deeper connection to the world and people within it - for me.

Thank you Oliver. I felt extremely valued and cared for. Which is a huge part of it.
