About

Psychedelics are medicines with immense power to heal and transform. We focus on how psychedelics can be used for spiritual development and recognize that the most significant predictor of positive transformational experiences result from contact with the mystical. We offer experiences in Vancouver, Squamish and Whistler with psilocybin and 5-MEO DMT. You can learn more about our approach here.

Testimonials

  • "Michael is very knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to get to know me, my interests, and my goals before my journey. I felt completely prepared beforehand. During my journey, I felt safe, comfortable, and at ease. The environment was perfect for me, and my guides were so great, I felt like I could be open about how I felt and I knew they were both actively listening to my needs. The playlist was exceptional. This was a once in a life time experience and I am grateful to have had Michael and my other guide there with me. I highly suggest this for anyone who is considering." - JM

  • "... I am also very happy and grateful for how they helped integrate and keep to do so after the experience which is just as important if not more. I am forever grateful to them. It has helped me transcend myself in many ways. And I deeply and firmly believe in the medicinal power of this substance that I have now had the fortune to experience first hand." - GL

  • "... Overall, life changing. Its been a few days and now I can meditate indefinitely, I've stopped fidgeting constantly, I eat more mindfully and snack less, I'm WAY more present and feel much much more grounded. I highly recommend talking to Michael and seeing what makes sense for you!" - LBC

  • "The experience for me was about experiencing sublime pleasure and pure love. It was like waking up from the perfect dream. My guide, Michael Oliver was a perfect guide and space holder: he listened deeply, giving me lots of space to just be, while being entirely present to my potential needs. I was in deep awe and appreciation of the ego-less way in which he delivered the experience, which was one in which there was lots of autonomy for me to continue to determine for myself if there's value it, along every step of the way from handshake, to hug, to the full ride." - AL

  • "The journey wasn't easy - it consisted of maybe 60% crying and being sad about life. Some truths were hard to take. But the last half year following the trip, life has been improved. I'm more chill about things, I make others laugh more, I don't get caught up in inconsequential things as much, I focus on core values and savour life. Even my relationship with my boss is better. Michael was the perfect sitter. I don't think I could have asked for anyone better. He was so accepting, empathetic, trust inspiring, and said all the right things when I needed to hear them. He helped me get the most out of the journey. Would 1000% recommend him to anyone." - JS

  • "I mentioned to them that my style is usually very introspective and they did a great job at understanding that. They also were really good at checking in with me and finding out what my boundaries were so that their presence would interfere as least as possible with the experience and I think they excelled at this. I am also very happy and grateful for how they helped integrate after the experience which is just as important if not more. I am forever grateful to them. It has helped me transcend myself in many ways." - AL

  • "My journey was a cosmic clash of who I think I am vs who I am. I went through a wide variety of emotions from crying and feeling deep sorrow to uncontrollable laughter. It was a cleanse and frequency sweep I didn't know I needed. Coming out of this intense dance has left me activated and motivated to make conscious changes in my life. Im excited to see what else comes of my journey and how my friends, who had I had this experience with, use what they learned." -EP

  • “This was the deepest experience of my personal life. With more than a week past the journey, I still struggle to find the words to properly articulate the depth and impact of the experience on my inner life. The ripples of the impact continue to reverberate through my being. This is from a person who studied the scientific foundation of conscious awareness for most of his adult life, spent over 15 years in parallel in the study and practice of Sufism, and a good deal of his youth studying and practicing the buddhist tradition.” -SZ
