Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Plant Medicine?

A. 

Plant Medicine is a natural psychoactive substance present in more than 200 species of plants. It can be found everywhere in the world growing naturally. Commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms” or “hallucinogenic mushrooms”, they cause a psychedelic (or “mind revealing”) experience for the consumer, including changes in mood, perception, behavior, and expand one’s understanding of past, present, and future experiences. Plant Medicine has been used for millennia by indigenous tribes for spiritual and medicinal purposes and continues to be widely used today. 

Q. What is microdosing and how can it benefit me? 

A. Microdosing psychedelic mushrooms (a fraction of a regular dose) is practiced frequently in the context to improve mood, cognitive function and mental concentration, as well as to enhance creativity and problem-solving skills. People who use magic mushrooms in this way usually take between 0.5 and 1.5 g of dried mushrooms and experience a sub-perceptual change in their present moment awareness. This is a perfect for a few hours of fun with a group of friends who want an enhanced social experience.

Q. What is meant by a "curated" social microdosing experience?

A. A variety of settings can influence the mindset and mood during a psychedelic experience and we want to make sure that yours is the most formidable for the outcome that you are looking for in your microdosing psychedelic mushrooms experience. An experience that is accompanied by music is a different experience to silence or healing sounds of nature. We have the resources to match your music preference to a DJ and provide the perfect setting that you wish to have during your journey, the garden setting in nature or the private beach where you can feel completely safe and contained so you can get the most out of your adventure, full body massages, movement practices, journaling workshops, painting and juice cleanses. We welcome special requests and can work along with you to create the setting of your dreams for your private or group experience.

Q. What is macro dosing and how can it benefit me?

A. A macro dose, a.k.a "hero dose" consists of a higher dose of psychedelic mushrooms combined with a Plant Medicine Assisted Therapy protocol which Selena practices with her clients. This protocol is made up of the Pre-session consultation, the Journey and the integration session.

Q. How is macro dosing administered and how can I be sure it is the right fit for me?

The pre-session is a pre-talk (online or in-person) between Selena and yourself, during which you are both going to introduce each other. Selena will explain and answer questions about the session. You are going to speak about preparation, dosage, and discuss your intention. This session will establish a Therapeutic Alliance (a strong safe and confident relationship) between yourself and Selena. She always recommends that her clients feel totally safe with their therapist. It is part of your responsibility; you need to make the right choice and follow your instincts.  You need to choose the one with who you feel safe, understood and believe have the tools to help you. This pre-session is important to ensure that you are following the best direction for your healing and have the right mindset before embarking on your psychedelic journey. It will allow you to go further and deeper in your awakening, especially if you are suffering from anxiety, childhood trauma, or other mental issues.

The Journey: Selena asks that you free up a full day for yourself with no obligations – no phones, meetings or other planned engagements. This can be difficult for some but setting boundaries is part of the healing process. Selena provides a safe and comfortable environment so that you can relax and let go into your psychedelic experience. The intentions discussed in the pre-session are re-established before your plant medicine dosing.

The Integration Session: Psychedelic Integration is the most important part of the journey, as it allows people who have experienced a non-ordinary state of consciousness to reflect on it and bring that experience into their life. It takes place after each session and is conducted between you and Selena. The altered state of consciousness allows you to access your inner guide and the Integration session lets you ground your journey so that you can make sense of it. Integration is being able to use what has been offered to you during this experience so that it can benefit your life in the long-term. 

With the help of Selena, the integration session will allow you to put in place a strategy to change and become a better version of yourself.
