what’s more?

the guide

I have the depth of character and breadth of experience to offer you guidance that is supportive while challenging, full yet spacious, personable yet professional, encouraging yet humbling.

The password to the Breath of Five page is ‘one’

I call what I’m offering here ‘guidance’ because that is accurate and honest. I am teaching, sharing, conveying my knowledge and experience, providing direction, answering questions, and facilitating dialogue.

Mentorship, to me, can’t be offered online. The in-person modules Advanced Shadowing and the Gathering of Guides is where we can enter ‘mentorship territory’.

This programme is what I wished for when I began this work as a practitioner. It remains my wish today. And it can’t be done without you. And so, it is for us.

feedback

This module was very impactful to my practice. I loved hearing from live experts/ known voices in this field and the varied perspectives showed how much this medicine can do, in the hands of a skilled guide.

I like the format, to have enough of time to digest the experience was great [and yet] not too much time to get lost in the world spinning around. It keeps the thread alive enough and not overwhelming…

Czechia

I enjoyed meeting speakers with unique perspectives on this substance, and especially that a woman was included. This space is so heavily dominated by white men that I am always relieved with another viewpoint is available

I came across a podcast interview of Chad while initially researching 5-MeO-DMT. Now here was someone rare in this space, I thought: humble, intelligent, and grounded. He spoke about how he had learned from other practitioners, and that he is dedicated to sustaining a caring community of other practitioners who can share what they are learning. This openness immediately appealed to me. Eventually I managed to speak to him and ultimately entered into a mentor/mentee partnership. Although I had already taken a one-day workshop elsewhere, had read The Conclave’s guidelines and other psychedelic guides, and attempted to apply what I knew from my own contemplative practices to my practitioner services, Chad was able to guide me toward a greater confidence and finesse in my approach to serving the molecule. Using a pointed yet sensitive approach, he led me to understand my “whys” while not proscribing his, and also provided me with much needed practical advice.
