Psilocybin is currently under consideration for legalization for therapeutic use, but it remains an illegal substance in Ontario. As such, Eddy does not provide or sell psilocybin. Eddy's role is that of a "journey sitter," offering support and guidance for individuals who choose to consume the substance for healing purposes.

We start with an opening circle to introduce ourselves, share intentions, and address any crucial questions. Next, I guide a meditation to prepare the mind and body for the altered state, followed by the use of sound tools to release energy and a curated musical score to evoke emotions.

The majority of the journey consists of silent meditation, lying on a personal mat with an eye mask. The ceremony concludes with a transmission, blessing, and sound bath. Finally, we ground ourselves with fresh fruit and engage in a sharing circle.

In a private journey, participants receive more individualized attention, and the session concludes with Holistic Bodywork, which includes clothed Thai massage, stretching, and compression.

In a group ceremony, participants experience a sense of unity, empathy, and connection. These ceremonies include opening and closing sharing circles, accompanied by fresh fruit and snacks. However, bodywork is not provided in group settings.

Both options provide valuable opportunities for deep self-understanding, and neither is inherently superior to the other.

We supply a comprehensive guide on preparing for the ceremony. It is recommended that 3-9 days before the event, participants follow a whole food diet free of processed foods to help clear both physical and mental clutter. Additionally, practicing breathwork and meditation during this period is advised to enhance the experience.

In my perspective, the concept of a "bad trip" is mainly associated with a lack of physical safety. While some individuals may encounter challenging states during the experience, these moments are often essential for self-awareness and healing. I am equipped with various tools to assist participants, including energy work, energy clearings, breath prompts, vocal anchors, and grounding techniques.

Please ensure you have arranged transportation, as each participant must sign a safety agreement agreeing not to operate a motor vehicle for up to 12 hours after the session.

We are unable to accept individuals taking Lithium or Opioids, or those with a history of severe mental disorders, unless they have received additional guidance from their psychotherapist.

With antidepressants, there is a risk of serotonin syndrome, which can be uncomfortable but typically subsides. We recommend discussing a plan to taper down your medication with your doctor or therapist.

While there are no contraindications with anti-anxiety medications, they may diminish the effects of psilocybin.

Take time to rest, recover, and rejuvenate for a day or two after the ceremony. You may experience decreased energy, a headache from mental processing, or feel emotionally drained for the next 24 hours. Some individuals may also feel scattered and confused. Continue following the dieta for an additional 3-9 days as your body detoxes, allowing your body and mind to recalibrate without worry—you are exactly where you need to be. Complete the integration journal prompts, take responsibility for reaching out to Eddy if needed for a 1:1 integration call, and consider participating in Eddy's comprehensive online integration workshop, Inner Alchemy.

Following my brother's passing, I traveled to Peru as a guest at an Ayahuasca Retreat Centre. The team recognized my integration skills and invited me to train as a facilitator.

I accepted the offer and went on to lead several retreats while working alongside Shaman elders in Peru for six months. I eventually became the lead facilitator, training new facilitators as they joined the team.

(Fast forward from 2017 to now)

During the first Ontario lockdown, I consumed psilocybin in a carefully curated ceremonial setting and gained inspiration on how to optimize my work with the medicine. Since that day, I have facilitated journeys for hundreds of individuals who place their trust in my expertise and approach.
