LEGALITIES

CAUTION: We do not recommend the use of illegal substances and will solely provide legal entheogens only according to the laws of the country your entheogenic journey will take place. If this country has decriminalised certain or all drugs for personal consumption, you can also work with us with your own personal supply at your own risk for emotional, mental and spiritual guidance and harm reduction purposes during your self-induced trip.

We do not work with Ayahuasca, Iboga, Peyoté or Bufo Alvarius directly as we respect that these substances should be offered by specialised shamans, but can offer guidance both pre-ceremony and integration sessions following such an experience.
