You’re already on your path.
You are now one breath away from accelerating it.
Welcome to the Breath of Five

Breath of Five experiences offer unique opportunities to delve into the depths of consciousness, unveiling the essence of your being along the way. Clients often report:
• Self-Realisation: A direct encounter with one’s true nature, fostering a deeper understanding of self and existence.
• Emotional Healing: Release from past traumas and unintegrated experiences, paving the way for inner peace and resilience.
• Spiritual Awakening: A profound connection to the universal consciousness, leading to lasting shifts in perspective and well-being.
These outcomes are supported by research indicating that 5-MeO-DMT can lead to sustained improvements in life satisfaction and purpose, while reducing symptoms of suffering.

As seen on
Breath of Five = 5-MeO-DMT via inhalation
therapy + ceremony = theramony
Working with 5-MeO-DMT in a therapy context has many components and stages, depending on where you’re at on your own path of evolution, growth, and development.
Initiation. Revelation. Realisation.
The fullness of the Breath of Five experience may be an initiation into a new felt knowing of existence. The function of the substance efficiently reveals not only that which has been veiled but the nature and ‘material’ of the veils themselves. We may realise that the human experience is the very veil that seems to cloak the omnipresence of what exists.
Confirmation. Re-affirmation.
Although this molecule functions differently than any other, there may nevertheless be something very familiar to you in the Breath of Five experience. There is nothing new to be discovered with what is always, already ‘there’. Somehow, it’s home. And so, a Breath of Five session may reaffirm the innocence that characterises the pre-conditioned self. Confirmation is finding that we need to look no further to discover what lay beneath the layers of self.
Actualisation.
“No experience in and of itself is transformational, but what we do with it can be.”
Regardless of what is revealed or confirmed, the temporary ‘state experience’ can be integrated into a moving-towards living an even better life. Going from what exists to how we wish to experience this existence is to make manifest what has been realised–all the while incorporating what has been lived. Actualising the experience of no-mind is about boldly being the best human we can be, with grace, gratitude, compassion, and humbleness.
“It seems to me that perhaps some of the value that people derive from these experiences or don’t derive from these experiences is dependent quite a bit on what happens beforehand and what happens afterwards.”
STAN GROF
A trauma-informed approach
“Trauma met well can be initiation. Initiation met poorly can be trauma.”
SARAH KERR
The experience with the God molecule can be described as energetic. Energy can be contained, channelled, and stagnant. Energy that wants to move will confront the energetic ‘material’ that is unintegrated, repressed, or stuck.
I recognise traumas as unintegrated, repressed experiences—be they biographical (lived conditioning) or transgenerational —that imprint our lives and inform the quality of our experience of life. I also recognise that these imprints can be relieved from the topography of our experiential/biographical map.
I believe that 5-MeO-DMT is an effective tool that, when offered well, can be a realignment to the secure attachment to the nature of being. In the process, all parts of you, seen and unseen, are welcome.
But beyond the relief of past imprints, I believe that the experience itself is also an imprinting (neurogenesis?). What do you think is the opposite of trauma? What new patterns can emerge? Are you willing to lay down some new tracks? With my accompaniment, you may establish new karmic grooves!
What to expect?
In these sessions, I blend therapeutic and ceremonial elements to create a holistic and personalised journey. The process/container includes:
• Preparation: Comprehensive discussions to understand your intentions, background, and to establish a trusting relationship.
• The Session: Guided inhalation of 5-MeO-DMT in a controlled setting, facilitating a safe and profound experience.
• Integration: Post-session support to help you assimilate insights and apply them meaningfully in your daily life.
This approach ensures that the ephemeral state experienced during the session is transformed into enduring personal growth

“An abrupt awakening is always to be preferred above a sweet but unconscious sleep.”

“It means taking responsibility for how you inhabit your body and mind, and how you choose to allow yourself to express yourself authentically and genuinely. It means to live without internal censoring, editing, or criticism that undermines your ability to be yourself and be free.”
