Would you like to talk to an experienced psychedelic guide?
I would like to support you on your path of personal exploration through psychedelics.
I offer coaching programs and one on one consultations on how to effectively use psychedelics for transformation and growth. This includes preparation, integration, and developing your practice.
My approach is informed by my trainings in mindfulness and meditation, utilises methods from psychedelic therapy and the latest scientific research, and is based on a decade of experience as a practitioner and facilitator.
About
Hello, I’m John. I have a passion for sharing my learnings with others who are embarking on their journey of discovery through psychedelics. I am the founder of Maps of the Mind and co-founder and director of New Moon Psychedelic Retreats, one of the first legal psychedelic retreats in the world. Since 2017 I have worked as a psychedelic facilitator at legal psilocybin retreats in Jamaica and The Netherlands. I have experience with a wide range of substances and over the last ten years I have facilitated, participated, assisted and organised 200+ psychedelic sessions. Read more about me.
Cost
One 50 minute video or voice call is 60-100 €, depending on your means.
I offer individualised programs for those wanting coaching over a period of months.
If you are interested in a program, we will start with a complimentary session of around 30 minutes. This video or voice call is so we can get to know each other, talk about your intentions and expectations, and a chance for you to ask any questions. This way we can find out if we are a good match.
We will discuss how we will work together and how I can best support you. I will individualise my approach to you and where you are at on your psychedelic journey. The length and pricing of the program is discussed on the introductory call.
I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your path.
