Final lunch
"The deepest and most meaningful moment was when I realised that my heart had remained closed to receiving love because I had not completed the grieving process for my brother's death. This was a major revelation, one I was very far from seeing. I feel increasingly present in my heart, embodied and grounded in life."
Pedro T.
"I wanted to stop, to give up. The moment I chose to continue was the moment I chose to live."

"I have been working on myself in numerous ways for years — counselling, retreats, coaching. Music Meditation has been the most profound experience of them all. The second journey is where I experienced the most profound shift that all of my other past experiences had only just touched the very tip of."
Sam
This is the most powerful journey anyone can undertake, if they are serious about understanding who they are at their very core and have the courage to want to go to their deep emotional places."

My story
On the surface, my life had momentum: good-hearted friends, a committed relationship, a rising career in London, a comfortable home. A voice kept telling me: Surely you should be happy by now.
Beneath all of it, I was profoundly numb. I always felt like I was behind an invisible screen, unable to get close to anyone. When I was with people, I longed to be alone. When I was alone, I longed to be with people.
The only thing that could cut through the numbness was a crisis. Work deadlines, the fear of failing, the threat of losing everything - these were the only things that made me feel real. I needed contact with a threat to feel alive. I didn't know that yet, but that's what was happening.
My healing journey started in 2014, when a chance encounter with friends who had been working with plant medicines sparked something I hadn't felt before. There was a lightness and presence in them I hadn't seen. Something shifted in me just witnessing it.
Me being me, I went all in.
The path took me through many modalities - some transformative, some harmful. I explored medicine ceremonies in the UK, Portugal and Peru, conscious sexuality work, and somatic experiencing therapy. I learned as much from the poorly held containers as I did from the powerful ones. Eventually, I found my way to training in psychedelic facilitation and then to NARM.
Along the way, I resolved experiences I had carried since childhood - including a near-death experience and sexual abuse - that had shaped everything without my knowing it.
What the work gave me I didn’t have words for: presence. The most profound experiences of connection in my life had always felt accidental, unreachable. The medicine work gave me the key to access them - to create them, to live in them. I found the on switch.
That's what I'm here to offer - your on switch.
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Retreats
What exactly happens during a retreat?
These are four or five-day residential experiences combining carefully curated music, powerful bodywork, shamanic ritual, and therapeutic intervention. Over the course of the retreat, participants have two medicine sessions, each working with a different substance chosen for its specific and complementary properties - one to open the heart, one to go deeper. Between and around the sessions, there are tobacco ceremonies, sharing circles, nature walks, and time to rest and integrate. Groups are kept small - up to 12 participants — with 1 to 3 facilitators, depending on group size. The location is shared only with confirmed participants.
Who is this retreat for?
People who find their way here have often already done significant inner work - therapy, somatic practices, other modalities. They understand themselves reasonably well. What’s still missing is something more immediate: the felt sense of actually being in their own life, connected to their body, their needs, their capacity for genuine connection.
This work is also well-suited to people earlier in their journey who feel a genuine pull toward it and have a stable enough foundation to meet what arises. The application and screening process is there to ensure the timing is right.
It isn’t for everyone, and not always at every point in someone’s life. That’s something we take seriously.
Do I need prior experience with medicines?
Prior experience is not required, though some familiarity with inner psychological work is beneficial. We carefully screen all participants to ensure this approach suits your specific needs and circumstances. Most important is your readiness to engage with your inner world with openness and courage.
What makes this approach different?
Most medicine work asks you to lie down, surrender, and process whatever comes. That’s valuable.
This work goes further - the facilitators are active participants in your process, working with your body and your experience in real time, offering support, intervention, and guidance as needed.
The shamanic and NARM-informed framework means we’re not just holding space for experience - we’re working with what arises therapeutically, somatically, and relationally.
The music is also central in a way it isn’t in most retreats. It’s not background - it’s the primary therapeutic vehicle, curated and responsive to the group’s process.
What kind of results can I expect?
Every experience is different, and I won’t promise outcomes. What I can tell you is what I witness repeatedly: people leaving with a felt sense of connection to themselves they hadn’t had before - or hadn’t had since childhood. Greater access to emotion. A body that feels inhabited rather than managed. Relationships that feel more real. A clearer sense of what they actually need and the capacity to ask for it.
For some, the shift is immediate and unmistakable. For others, it continues to unfold over weeks and months. In both cases, what tends to happen is lasting - because it doesn’t just happen to you. It happens inside you.
Is this therapy?
These retreats incorporate therapeutic elements and are informed by approaches including NARM, but they are not traditional psychotherapy. Many participants find this work complements their ongoing therapy or coaching. If you’re currently working with a therapist, it’s worth discussing this with them before applying.
Where are the retreats held?
In venues across the UK and Portugal. Exact location details are shared only with confirmed and paid participants. Settings are chosen for their privacy, peacefulness, and suitability for deep work.
Preparation & Practicalities
How do I prepare?
On acceptance, you’ll receive preparation materials covering physical, emotional, and mental preparation in the weeks beforehand. We ask that you reduce or eliminate alcohol, recreational drugs, and certain supplements for at least five days before arrival. We’ll also explore your intentions through pre-retreat communications.
What about medications?
Some medications may interact with the medicines used during the retreat. During the application process, you must disclose all medications you’re taking. You may need to consult your GP and explore alternatives if certain medications create contraindications. Your safety is the priority, and we want to support you in going as deeply as possible into your process.
How many participants attend?
Groups are limited to 12 participants to ensure each person receives appropriate attention and support.
How much does it cost?
£1,250–£1,750 depending on duration and ticket type. One place is usually available at a lower cost - get in touch via WhatsApp if you’re experiencing financial challenges but have a genuine call to this work and a solid psychological foundation for it.
What’s included?
Accommodation, all meals, facilitation, medicines, tobacco ceremonies, sharing circles, and an online group integration call approximately three weeks after the retreat.
Next Steps
How do I apply?
Start with a free discovery call. If we decide to move forward, you’ll complete an intake form exploring your background, current challenges, and intentions for the work. We take care to ensure this is the right fit before confirming a place.
What if I’m not sure this is right for me?
Book a discovery call. There’s no obligation, and sometimes the most useful thing I can do is suggest a different approach or some preparation steps before this kind of work. The call is as much for you to assess fit as it is for me.
Do you offer support between retreats?
Yes. One-to-one coaching sessions work well both as preparation before a retreat and integration afterwards. Message me on WhatsApp or book a discovery call to find out more.
How often do retreats run?
Several times a year across different locations. Upcoming dates are listed on the homepage. You can also message me on WhatsApp to be notified of new dates as they’re confirmed.
