Intimacy

We work only with thoroughly-vetted individuals, couples, or small-private groups, and we spend as much time as necessary with our guests to build a foundation of unwavering trust.  

 

We believe healing happens in relationship, so we take the time to hear your story, and share some of ours.  With us, you are more than just a guest, you're part of our family.

Support

We are firm believers that most of the benefit of psychedelics happen before and after the ceremonies.  We take the time with each individual guest to ensure they are as prepared as possible in mind, body, and spirit. 

Afterwards, we continue to work with you closely to help you integrate the experience and get on the path of continued growth.

Luke and Alexa facilitated a plant medicine experience for the two of us. Somewhat unexpectedly in took us deep into all relationship. Will their help in preparation, ceremony, and subsequent integration, we had “couples therapy” involving deep, sometimes painful, insights and, gratefully, relationship
growth and understanding as the outcome. The set and setting, including meditation, breath work, chi gong, and their personal touches were
amazing. We heartily recommend them to hold space for you.

Who we are, what we do, and why.

Iya and Luke share over 10 years of experience in sacred medicine facilitation, ritual, and psychedelic integration

We came together in the summer of 2018 with the primary intention of co-organizing local events, ceremonies, and gatherings for our community in the northeast United States.  While it wasn't in the plan to fall in love, life had other plans for us, and we soon found ourselves re-aligning our worrk to serve more intimate offerings - especially work with couples and individuals. 

For us, our deepest prayer, our truest medicine, is the marriage of our shared passions: Psychology & self insight, reverence for all life, ritual, timeless wisdom, and potential within all beings to know inner peace, good health, and thriving relationship.

With years of apprenticeship and continued study in sacred medicine ways, we strive to support our guests with a non-dogmatic, compassionately informed, and guest focused approach..

 

We have undying gratitude for these medicines as a tool for connection, love, creativity, expansion, and healing.  It is an honor to share the spaces and teachings that have been so instrumental in our lives - both individually and in partnership.

In loving service,

Iya & Luke
