"If I tell you that what is written on the Inner Shift Institute website is truly what you will get, would you believe it? I was hoping for some of that. Years of therapy and family problems brought me to a point from which I saw no way out. Neither for myself nor for my loved ones. I came with one intention to solve one of many problems and with a bit of hope that this trip would bring something. However, what I encountered was a complete surprise at the extremes of each scale. And THIS SHIFT which takes you from one side to another, would not have happened without the wise leadership of the entire team. During 6-day stay program prepared by Alice and the team, each stage played its most important role. Without the knowledge and open heart of the team, each stage of it, preparation, management, integration would be only a fleeting event. Alice, Jeanne, Cony, Amber, Caroline you accompanied me on my journey and your presence with your gifts was the key to the transformation of me and the problems I was struggling with, a transformation that happens even after I returned home. I felt within myself the solution to the problem I came with - no matter how strange it may sound, this feeling is the essence. I wholeheartedly recommend it...to the world!"

"Had my first-ever experience with plant medicine (psilocybin) with Caro and the Inner Shift Institute, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The entire team, from booking to trip guidance and integration, truly managed to create the best possible setting for a first-timer. The preparation was thorough and I was sent a bunch of useful resources well in time before the trip, all very helpful for a soft introduction to the world of psychedelics. This included a whole video course, a preparation video, book recommendations, and so forth. Caro was a wonderful guide throughout my experience. The preparation session was great, and she was thorough, analytical, and emotionally sound when guiding me in setting an intention for the trip. The result was great confidence and a calm, clear mind ahead of the experience. For anyone feeling a bit of nervousness surrounding plant medicine, Caro is a wonderful person to have around! She created a comfortable, safe, light, and professional setting from the minute we met, and ensured the same atmosphere throughout the experience. To me, this resulted in complete trust, surrender, and readiness both ahead of, during, and after the trip. The integration session took place a few days after the trip, granting me the time needed to thoroughly reflect upon the experience on my own first. During the integration, Caro truly helped me both make sense of my visions and connect them to my intention, my patterns, and life itself. I am ending this experience with increased clarity and a strong motivation to continue my inner work. I truly recommend the Inner Shift Institute to anyone aiming to enter the world of plant medicine and its healing powers."

"When I started my quest to find a guided psychedelic experience, A Whole New High (now Inner Shift) felt right immediately. They were responsive and provided information and guidance. Working with an established agency that employed seasoned practitioners was extremely important to me. Supporting a women owned and operated business was icing on the cake. When it came time to choose the practitioner, I knew that I would be in good hands with anyone. I was lucky enough to feel a connection with Karlijn through reading her biography and then watching a video of her explaining what could be expected throughout the process. I appreciate having the opportunity to work with AWNH, now Inner Shift, but am profoundly grateful to Karlijn for her expertise, her light, and her grounding nature. Her experience and wisdom helped guide me through a life changing journey. Karlijn’s energy and unwavering trust in this work provided the space and tools I needed to move through deep rooted barriers. With Karlijn’s help, I was able to face fears and ultimately surrender to the process. I do not feel that words are enough to describe my gratitude to this agency, for believing in this therapeutic modality and then employing women like Karlijn, who give themselves to this work so that people like me can find deep and profound healing. "

"What stood out most for me was the genuine care and compassion that Jeanne and Cony infused into every aspect of their work. Their nurturing presence and commitment to creating a supportive community allows for vulnerability, emotional release, and authentic connection."

"I am truly impressed by a team of gifted and inspiring facilitators who seamlessly integrate both the western and shamanic approaches, creating an experience that truly embodies A Whole New High."

"incredible! highly recommended."

"Prior to this retreat, I was trying everything to improve my mental health for more than 30 years, but everything felt like a shot in the dark. The retreat helped me to see my destination and plot my course forward. I was able to clear away old hurts and move around blocks. The team assembled for our retreat was caring, passionate and knowledgeable; they knew the right word to say at the right time. I feel more like myself than I have in many years. Living true to my inner self is such a gift. I still have work to do, but I now clearly know my direction and feel such purpose and peace every day. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I truly consider the group retreat one of the best things I have ever done and strongly encourage everyone to embrace this experience."

"What a remarkable combination of modern practises and traditional wisdom that Cony brings to the table in his practise of natural medicine. I cannot thank you enough for this session; not only did it help me get clarity, but it also addressed every question that I had. I was given resources that I can apply in my everyday life, and I already feel like a completely different person - and so much better than before."

"Booking with A WHOLE NEW HIGH comes highly recommended. As a therapist who was curious in the medicinal benefits of mushrooms for both myself and, ideally, future clients, I was eager to explore the experience in a secure setting. Alice was excellent; she was warm, thoughtful, and educated, which allowed me to unwind and fully enjoy the experience. This is the ideal location to test Psilocybin if you are inquisitive about their powers!"

"Alice has been a very gentle companion on my journey and did an incredible job preparing and holding the physical and ethereal space I had the pleasure navigating through. I got reminded that in these journeys nothing ever is imposed on you from the outside, there are no externalities encountered. It is a date with your most inner divine self and Alice helped create the void for this encounter to happen."

"I am very appreciative of the guidance and encouragement I've received from all of these lovely facilitators, I could not imagine a better team. I count it as a great blessing to have had several opportunities to benefit from their insight, wisdom and nurturing energy, and each time is stronger than the last. I am a changed person because of them."

"magnificent"

"The atmosphere is out of this world comforting and safe and Alice is so loving and nurturing, it was more than inspiring."

"With a true heart and enthusiasm for the individual engaging in the medicine journey, Alice combines emotional intelligence with an outstanding understanding of plant medicine/psychedelics and experience. She is sensitive to the fact that each individual has specific needs and adapts her work to meet them. You can't help but be moved by her radiant spirit, and your own soul will feel the warmth of her embrace. "

"I am writing again after 6 months to let you know how I am feeling after my session. In February I wrote: "For years I have been deeply depressed and did not know how to feel joy. And this experience changed everything. I felt joy, wonder and awe. I felt the magic of the world. It was really difficult at times and I was so happy to have Anne by my side who guided me so gently and with so much compassion that my intense fear shifted into a calm feeling of safety. I will be forever grateful for this experience." Since 6 months I have not felt depressed anymore. I still had days were I felt lower than others, but this inner feeling of wonder and awe has stuck with me until today. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much! I will come again sometime in the future to resolve some other things in my life. Thank you!"

"It was a powerful experience. "
