A Wise, Warm-Hearted Leader with Incredible Music Curation
My experience at the psilocybin retreat was truly transformative, and Margot played a huge role in that. As a fellow entrepreneur, I really appreciated how she could deeply relate to the challenges and experiences of the attendees, which made her guidance feel even more personal and impactful. Margot is incredibly wise and created such a safe, nurturing space where I felt completely comfortable. From the start, I knew she was going to bring amazing music given her background working at Spotify, and she did not disappoint—the soundtrack she curated added such a powerful layer to the journey.
One of the most moving parts of the retreat was the sarong ceremony she led after the main ceremony. It was deeply emotional and brought even more insights, helping me process everything on a whole new level. Her warm heart and presence made it so easy to be vulnerable, and I felt truly seen and supported.
I’m beyond grateful for this experience and for Margot’s leadership. If you have the chance to work with her, don’t hesitate—it will be life-changing! Read More
