THE JOURNEY
THE JOURNEY
Meditation, breathwork and plant medicine are tools for living.
Hit pause on the hustle and grind to remember who you are. With guided support and community, explore these three practices to tune into your own inner wisdom and find your way, with less fear and more love.
Your history and experiences have most likely imprinted well-worn habits and patterns that may have helped you, kept you safe, up until recently… but maybe, some of them are no longer serving you. Perhaps you’re at a major crossroad or life transition and you’re seeking some kind of compass to help you navigate through the waters. You may have an inkling that you already encompass this wisdom inside you but you can’t quite hear it through the noise.
We all bring our unique stuff to the table. The beautiful thing about these tools is that you bring whatever is uniquely yours to work with, and in return you receive exactly what you need.
Each attendee we’ve worked with has come away with their own custom medicine. While the experience is unique for every person, the common denominator always seems to be…
a rediscovery of love.
It’s normal for the view to get a bit cloudy from time to time but we find that is actually always right in front of us.
This retreat experience welcomes and supports those who are…
interested in what lies beyond the everyday— curious about expanded consciousness and spirituality.
experiencing a big transition or life change and seeking more clarity and confidence about how to move forward.
seeking a new perspective on old thought and relational patterns and behaviors.
looking for alternative treatments for drug resistant depression and anxiety.
desiring to strengthen their intuition for more clear, embodied decision making.
looking to live in a more wholehearted, authentic and aligned way.
Why all three?
Meditation
During this retreat, you will be guided through daily meditations that explore mindfulness, body awareness and loving kindness practices. In the context of this retreat, we will use meditation as a tool to help the mind settle and prepare for the journey ahead.
People across cultures have been practicing various forms of meditation for thousands of years in order to cultivate inner peace and wisdom. Scientifically validated benefits of meditation include increased happiness, focus, self-control and memory. Meditation can increase a sense of equanimity and compassion, and can help bring awareness to and release from old narratives that keep us stuck. Through the mind-body connection, meditation can regulate the nervous system, allow deeper and more restorative sleep, and may even prevent age-related dementia.
Breathwork
‘Conscious connected’ breathwork can be surprisingly profound because we breathe all the time but when we use our breath in this way, it transforms an automatic function to a powerful life force that allows our bodies ‘to speak’ what it may have been unable to express. Each individual experiences breathwork differently, even from session to session, but some common experiences include a spiritual sense of oneness, intense emotional opening, and/or physical or cathartic release. Our 60-minute session is intended to compliment the meditation practices in preparing the body for the journey.
If you’d like to learn more about breathwork, you can dive into the work of Stan Grof and his ‘holotropic breathwork’ or other similar breath modalities coined ‘conscious connected’, ‘somatic’, ‘neurodynamic’, and ‘rebirthing’ breathwork.
Plant Medicine
Ineffable (adjective) : too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.
Whether this is your first journey or your twentieth…
whether you approach it from an Eastern spirtual or Western scientific lens,
you will be guided through deep preparation with a small group of (soon to be) friends…
and come away with an experience that can only be described as ‘ineffable.’
The reason it can offer such a unique and powerful healing is because it is unlike anything we could possibly know in our regular lives. We will start preparing and intention setting even before the retreat starts with a comprehensive intake by our licensed and trained guide, Sarah. We will continue preparing during the retreat and will dedicate a full day to ceremony. Post-integration will unfold after the journey and will continue beyond the retreat in order to gain the most out of your insights.
If you’d like to learn more from a Western lens, dive into the research that has taken place over the last couple of decades by Johns Hopkins, the University of California at Berkeley, Mount Sinai, Stanford and Harvard that provides unequivocal data of specific psychedelics' effectiveness in treating conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction.
Meditation, breathwork and plant medicine offer a full spectrum experience.

What attendees are saying.

“One word… transformational! People have seen a difference in me and I have proactively recommended this retreat to my nearest and dearest, even to my 80 y.o. mother! I describe my journey as two years of therapy condensed into 3 days. When I started, my life felt stuck, bogged down by vague lingering emotional challenges compounded by recent unexpected life transitions. I had read about the lasting therapeutic benefits of plant-based medicine, however the personal benefits far exceeded my expectations. I attribute the enduring power of my experience, first, to the deep thought and care that went into the pace and flow of retreat activities. Second, it was obvious that all three guides were open, loving, and experienced practitioners, which provided the essential foundation of trust, making emotional breakthroughs possible. These caregivers facilitate a retreat that provides insights (inaccessible otherwise) to safely work through fears and traumas. It has allowed me to actively course-correct the direction of my life with more courage and open heartedness."

Post-journey I was connecting with a friend who had also gone on a journey and they said "it's an ineffable experience." The definition of ineffable is "too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words" and that feels like such a fitting way to describe The Journey. The things I can describe in more depth and texture are the feelings of trust, care and connection that I felt with everyone throughout this experience. Tiffany, Sarah, and Darren created a container that provided space to land, to explore and to heal. There was so much intention and thought put into this retreat - from the prep work, the breathwork/meditations, the group gatherings, the food, and the integration calls. This experience was brought to me by one of my best friends, and the set and setting felt like an immediate full body "yes" for me. I'm forever grateful that my higher self called me to this journey. Lessons and glimmers continue to be revealed to me even a month later.

My spiritual and healing journey began when I was introduced to Vipassana meditation in college, jumping into the deep end with a 3-month silent retreat at Gaia House in England. This led me to two years of practicing and studying in India, Nepal and Burma/Myanmar and subsequently managing large retreats at Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA.
Eventually I completed post-graduate work in the Contemplative Psychotherapy Program at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. In 2011, I received a master’s degree in social work from the University of Washington. Along with community mental health work and clinical research at the University of Washington, I have been in private practice as a therapist since 2015.
My relationship with psilocybin began recreationally and evolved over the years into a sacred annual experience with a close group of friends. After Tiffany and Darren invited me to my first therapeutic psilocybin journey retreat in 2022, which was incredibly powerful, I knew I wanted to include this work in my therapeutic offerings. So in 2023, I completed an intensive year-long certification program to practice psychedelic assisted therapy through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. My training includes working with ketamine, psilocybin and MDMA, in individual and retreat settings.
I embrace the concept of inner healing intelligence, referring to the innate wisdom and power within all of us to move toward wholeness and wellbeing. We have heightened access to this wisdom when in the non-ordinary state of consciousness brought about through practices such as holotropic breathwork and psychedelic journeys. With the support of therapeutic preparation and integration, you will better be able to integrate the insights, wisdom, and visions for your life that are revealed in the magic that occurs in the unique synergy between you and medicine. I am honored to support your ability first to receive and then to manifest whatever wisdom you find within, out into your ongoing voyage through this one precious life.

I have been a lifelong artist and creative and for the past 11 years, a business a. As a creative, I've found these tools to be transformational in reconnecting with my creative intuition. As a business owner, these tools have been incredibly helpful for self-awareness, compassionate leadership and embodied decision making. I don't have the traditional training for someone on this path but I've always been a “seeker” for meaningful work, happiness in the present and understanding the big questions in life.
My strength has always been my creative intuition and so, in a way, my role here is the one who puts the puzzle pieces together. In the retreat, I fill the role as medicine sitter, meditation and breathwork guide, and schedule holder :)
I began my relationship with therapeutic psychedelics in 2021 with ayahuasca and psilocybin. It has opened me up to so much healing and inner discovery that I was inspired to share the experience with others. I am a certified Psychedelic Peer Supporter though PsiloHealth and have completed Level 2 Breathwork Facilitation training with Tai Hubbert of Sword & Lotus. The foundation of my meditation practice takes from Insight Meditation or “vipassana” meditation.
