Magda is a certified psychedelic practitioner, known for her ability to bridge spirituality with practical life to help others connect with their authentic selves. With empathy, attentive listening, and genuine care, she guides individuals in cultivating trust as a pathway to inner wisdom.
Her journey has taken her around the world, led by heart and intuition, to find teachers and mentors who have shaped her experiential learning and transformation.

With extensive experience facilitating group retreats at the Synthesis Institute and other prominent centers, along with her private practice, Magda brings a wealth of knowledge and depth to her work.

Maria is a soft and intelligent soul, committed to the healing of her own heart and to spreading her embodied wisdom through space-holding, caring, and being a mirror of love for other beings.
She has a background in science (molecular biology & cognitive neuroscience), but her life journey pulled her toward a deeper investigation of Eastern spirituality and American shamanism. She went to India to study yoga and deepen herself in different meditation practices and is mainly committed to Hrydaia Yoga, the yoga of the spiritual heart.
As a transpersonal coach, Maria supports women in their spiritual journeys and their growth towards wholesomeness. She also offers support for preparation and integration of psychedelic journeys and is a yoga & meditation teacher.
She has extensive experience working with medicinal plants, both at a personal level, by healing and learning in South America, and professionally, by working for years at the Synthesis Institute, one of the golden standards for psychedelic facilitation and education. Here she also carried out scientific research on psychedelics presenting her work at different international conferences.
Maria currently lives with her van, Joy, traveling throughout Europe, deepening her spiritual life through connection with nature, conscious communities, music, yoga, and, at every step, contributing to the manifestation of her vision: that of a healed, open-hearted, and harmonious humanity.

Shurandy is a unique ceremony leader fluent in Dutch, German, and English. With a heart-centered approach, he embodies sensitivity, compassion, and wisdom, serving as a profound teacher of consciousness and ancient wisdom.
Originating from the Amazon, Shurandy's DNA carries sacred knowledge. Having facilitated numerous plant medicine ceremonies across Europe, he has collaborated with participants from diverse backgrounds.
Through personal experiences and interactions with thousands of individuals, Shurandy grasped the true essence of unconditional love. He has the ability to recognize the inherent oneness in every person, transcending life's challenges and dispelling notions of damage.
To Shurandy, plant medicine is a transformative tool elevating consciousness and unlocking access to one's higher self—a portal to self-discovery. While well-versed in various healing modalities and trauma processing, he integrates his expertise into the realm of sacred medicines.
Shurandy distinguishes the unique aspect of plant medicine ceremonies—the relinquishment of control. Emphasizing the importance of surrender, he believes this allows a higher consciousness to guide individuals through profound emotional cleansing.
In his role as a ceremony leader, Shurandy prioritizes creating a safe and seen space for each participant. His magical ability to soften and open hearts contributes to establishing a sacred and healing energy field within the ceremony yurt.
Recognizing the value of stillness, Shurandy structures ceremonies to encompass both individual and social elements, ensuring participants receive precious gifts from a tranquil space.
Sofia has spent the past eight years guiding people through plant medicine work, facilitating psychedelic retreats and ceremonies with a range of sacred plant medicines. Her training comes from both worlds: she has worked and learned alongside indigenous shamans as well as experienced western facilitators, and she carries deep respect for the traditions these medicines come from.
Alongside her retreat work, Sofia works as a relationship coach and intuitive guide, helping women understand the patterns that shape their lives and relationships. That depth is present in everything she does. She has a rare ability to see what sits underneath a story, and to hold space for it without judgment.
Within the retreats, Sofia leads psilocybin ceremonies and facilitates cacao ceremonies, breathwork, sacred rage release, inner child healing, and energy healing. Her focus is always the same: creating a space safe enough that you can finally stop holding everything together, and honest enough that real change can begin.
Participants often describe her presence as warm, grounded, and direct. Sofia will not tell you what you want to hear. She will walk beside you till you find what is true for you, and she will remind you of your true power and who you truly are.
