About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Lesley has four decades of experience as a group facilitator and coach, and in working with altered states as a vehicle for transforming consciousness. She aspires to bring authenticity, courage, tenderness, and joy to all she does.

Lesley embodies a long-term immersion in a number of intersecting healing modalities. Respectful use of psychedelics and plant medicines in ceremonial settings, Buddhist Insight meditation, the Indigenous Red Road practices of Sundance and Sweatlodge, Conscious Connected Breathwork, Family and Organisational Constellations, Archetypal Psychology, 20 years as a leadership consultant and trainer, and 40 years living in an international intentional community have all been part of her path. She is also a professional red-nose clown and clown-doctor.

Her work with Synthesis began in 2021, as a Learning Facilitator and Guest Faculty on the Professional Psychedelic Facilitator training, and ultimately as a Lead Facilitator on the retreat team.

Everything she shares as a facilitator is rooted in her own committed personal practice and ongoing study.

Compassion and Professionalism
Lesley was one of the senior facilitators and my one-on-one counselor at the Synthesis Immersion Retreat.

I found her to be insightful, compassionate and a consummate professional. She has a very warm, soothing presence that immediately puts everyone around her at ease, but she can also be firm when necessary. She also has a great sense of humor! I thought she did a really amazing job of creating and nurturing the container of radical inclusion and acceptance necessary to make this collective journey something really unique and life changing.

Her one-on-one sessions during the retreat were also extremely helpful in identifying issues that need more focus in my life. She always asked the right questions!

If you have an opportunity to do a retreat with Lesley, I would highly recommend it. She really knows how to help you get the most out of this experience and is just an amazing human being!

Immersion Training Retreat
I was part of the Synthesis Immersion Training Retreat as part of my co-facilitator training April 26 - May 3 at the New Eden Retreat Center. Lesley, Hanneke and Léla were the guides. I consider myself extremely privileged to have been an active witness as well as participant. Lesley embodies what she teaches. Her knowledge, experience and skills were displayed in so many wonderful ways. Her calm and grounded ways and her gentle approach create an incredible sense of trust. Lesley reminds me of a light tower, firmly grounded, calmly sending its light to the ships to help them nagivate challenging waters. Thank you Lesley, I learned so much.
