A safe and friendly guide
I have been planning to experience a psychedelic trip for some time, based on the testimonies of people I trust and a good experience I had earlier this year. However, I was somewhat apprehensive about doing it in an unfamiliar setting and searched for a safe guide and place.
Also, I am weary of the paraphernalia of spirituality, the nonsense of religion, and group-based euphoria, so I looked for a guide who did not advertise any of that.
I made contact with Filippo through Retreat Guru a few weeks before my visit to Fuerteventura, and after informative and pleasant conversations I felt comfortable enough to go through this experience with him.
We traveled to his house on a winter morning; we got to know each other a bit more, and after a brief set of breathing exercises, I ingested the mushrooms and lay down.
What followed was a very significant and positive experience. It is hard to describe an experience that is by nature very non-verbal: the best I can say is that it was like being very deep in thought and directing my perception inward rather than towards the physical world.
Filippo guided the trip very subtly with music. At various places, I felt that the music he played guided me, sometimes inward, and sometimes, especially when the music included language, to the surface to remind me that there is still a world out there.
After a few hours, I slowly made my way back to the "real" world and found myself back in my comfortable and safe setting under Fillipo's care. We spent some time discussing my experience and our lives, and after a pleasant conversation, I returned to my lodgings. I have been going back in my mind to those magical hours of sustenance and understanding.
I am very pleased with Filippo's guidance and care, and I would like to repeat my experience under his care if possible.
If you are looking for a safe and pleasant guide, Filippo is your natural choice.
