Be the Medicine
A field of Remembering,
Where soul meets soil...
We gather in prayer, in truth, in reverence
To honour what is ancient and awaken what is next...
Not to lead, but to listen.
Not to teach, but to tend.
We are here to be the medicine.
Immersive gatherings and trainings to remember prayer, honour elders, and root wisdom in the emerging world of plant medicine, entheogens and psychedelic-assisted therapies.
Yes, sometimes we need to take medicines. But this is a small story. We also, desperately, need to try to BE the medicine. We need to think beyond the impoverished idea of merely "awakening". What does it mean to be medicinat to your ecosystem? If the fungi, the cacti, the ecodelic beings, teach us anything it is to stop taking so much. To stop always extracting medicine and, instead, to start asking yourself how to be the healing agent
— Sophie Strand
Immersive Gatherings
In the emerging world of plant medicine and entheogens, our gatherings offer a space to return to what is sacred. These are not retreats in the conventional sense, they are ceremonial spaces rooted in collective prayer, designed to support deep listening, reverence, and relational healing. We ask: What happens when entheogenic assisted therapy work moves beyond the self, and toward the collective? Here, we remember that healing is not a solo journey, but one woven through community, intention, and spirit.
Training Course
Our 12-week training course is for those who feel called to hold space in this field - therapists, facilitators, and caregivers seeking to walk with depth, reverence, and humility. This course honours the wisdom of elders and Indigenous lineages who have been walking this path long before the psychedelic renaissance. It offers essential foundations, not to replicate sacred traditions, but to understand them, respect them, and learn how to walk in this work with humility, integrity, and grounded responsibility.
“Active Hope is not wishful thinking. Active Hope is not waiting to be rescued . . . .by some savior.
Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act.
We belong to this world.
The web of life is calling us forth at this time.
We’ve come a long way and are here to play our part.
With Active Hope we realise that there are adventures in store, strengths to discover, and comrades to link arms with.
Active Hope is a readiness to discover the strengths in ourselves and in others; a readiness to discover the reasons for hope and the occasions for love.
A readiness to discover the size and strength of our hearts, our quickness of mind, our steadiness of purpose, our own authority, our love for life, the liveliness of our curiosity, the unsuspected deep well of patience and diligence, the keenness of our senses, and our capacity to lead.
None of these can be discovered in an armchair or without risk.”
