About this Retreat
Holistic soul guide, psychotherapist, psychedelic integration coach. In my work I combine body-mind and spirit work creating safe containers for individual & group healing.
I draw upon shamanic wisdom working mostly with psilocybin in ceremonial setting, also using the knowledge of mental health & trauma inprints.
I’ve given more than 500 hours of individual therapy. I am deeply in service of creating soul group fields that while supporting the individual, they open up higher healing potential.
In my work I follow the guidelines of harm reduction and do clients' pre- screenings & evaluations.
I will meet you with authenticity of my own being, with compassion, kindness, gentleness, deeply honouring your process. My own training includes a certification in SFBT Psychotherapy, psychedelic integration training with MIND Foundation and also various shamanic initiations as well as meditation practices.
A yoga and embodiment teacher, Mary has worked as a counsellor in the field of mental health support, substance misuse and addiction recovery for 4 years, and in gender based violence working with survivors of sexual trauma for 6 years.
Guiding yoga and somatics retreats since 2016 and passionate about embodiment as a tool for integration - whether that be working with the voice, the breath and the soma (body) as a whole, she believes in the body's innate wisdom to teach us what we need to learn, and its innate ability to heal.
She is on a committed path of self-enquiry and exploration, 7 years personal experience working with psychedelics and entheogens in a therapeutic way and holds a safe and compassionate space with gentle enquiry, curiousity and humour.
Mary is passionate about supporting people to a better place of wellbeing to live a more integrated life.

We understand that transformation is a process, and that it doesn't happen overnight. That's why we prioritise both pre-retreat preparation and post-retreat integration to ensure a seamless experience.
PRE-RETREAT PREPARATION:
This includes an individual preparation session online, to discuss your personal goals and intentions for the retreat. We'll provide you with information on how to prepare and what to expect during the retreat, as well as guidance on how to approach your journey.
6-DAY PSILOCYBIN RETREAT:
During the retreat, you'll have the opportunity to work with psilocybin in 2 ceremonies. A longer retreat allows for more time to explore and integrate your experiences, and our team will be there to support you throughout the process.
POST-RETREAT INTEGRATION:
Our programme is designed to help you process and integrate your experiences. It includes 2 x group sessions and 2 x individual sessions, which you can use over 6 months following the retreat.
