Coming Home to Our True Nature

A 7-week study and process group led by Dr. Leanne Whitney and Don Damond

Every human is born with the neural correlates for transcendent experience.

The depth psychological, shamanic, and eastern liberatory traditions all seek to understand the binds of culture and to free us from the same.

In this time of mental health and spiritual crises, in this era of ongoing wars, mass shootings, ecocide, as well as the rapid takeover by, and assimilation into, AI….

…it is imperative that we come into alignment with the support of Nature.

In utilizing plant medicine in sacred spaces, people often experience powerful emotional shifts—shifts away from self-focus and excessive rumination, deeper connection to their Life's purpose, reconciliation from past trauma/distress, increased positive mood, love and gratitude and a refreshed and renewed perception of Life.

"You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness."

— Terence McKenna

Working with yoga psychology for psychedelic integration can offer several benefits.

Yoga psychology provides a framework for understanding the mind, emotions, and behavior, offering tools for self-inquiry, self-regulation, and self-transformation.

When integrated with psychedelic experiences, yoga psychology can help individuals make sense of their experiences, manage emotional and psychological challenges, promote self-awareness, and support ongoing personal growth.

Additionally, the practices of yoga, such as breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, can complement and support the integration process by providing tools for grounding, centering, and self-reflection.

Part mystery and part wisdom, mushrooms produce molecules that fit receptors in the human brain and body.

When we ingest this magical medicine of Nature with an intent to heal—and we listen deeply and learn to interpret the messages accurately—we learn from them.

Plant medicine is, emphatically, not a quick fix—but rather a beautiful companion on the path.

What people are saying

  • If you are seeking a wise and trustworthy guide on your healing journey with psilocybin, look no further than Leanne. From the moment I met her, I felt completely safe, seen, and supported. In partnership with Rev. Jacqui Ruiz and her amazing team, Leanne co-led a group retreat experience that was truly transformative. Her integration sessions offered me helpful frameworks to 'connect the dots' between past and present experiences, and her intuitive in-ceremony support directly contributed to a deep healing of my childhood wounds, which I have been seeking for over three decades. Through my Medicine Journey Retreat with Leanne, I received an experience of soul connection and unconditional love that can be summed up in three words: beauty, unity, and community. I am forever changed and deeply grateful.

  • "First of all, your energy is infectious + so refreshing. I felt engaged from the start. Your ability to break down such heavy, often unfamiliar information and make it applicable to our current, everyday existence was awesome. Beyond the transmission of your extensive knowledge wass your sincere passion for the work you're doing, which inspires me to approach this work with respect, curiosity, and appreciation. I so look forward to letting all of this integrate and and see how my journey will improve + deepen because of it."

  • "Thank you for your ability to translate a seemingly daunting text into a pleassurable and enlightening experience. Being able to understand the philosophy of the text has drastically affected my thought processes and challenged my embedded belief system. I appreciate the contrast between Eastern philosophy and Western ideas on wisdom, intelligence, and consciousness. Thank you for your infectious and inspiring energy. You have helped me cultivate and embrace my power within."

  • "This course was all that I expected and more. Bringing the wisdom of yoga, depth psychology, and affective neuroscience together with resources and grounding practices made for a very rich experience in a short 7 weeks time! Most importantly, Shilah and Leanne provided a welcoming and supportive safe space to allow and encourage the challenge of transformation to happen. I highly recommend this course for anyone ready and willing to take a deeper look into themselves and are open to change and grow, to curiosity and wonder."

    —John Chovan

  • "Your passion and clear understanding of this subject and this work is so apparent and comes through so powerfully in your way of teaching. It isn't the most widely approachable or "popular" material, but the way you use metaphor and your physical body to teach is very engaging. Thank you. I look forward to learning more."

    —Yoga Teacher Trainee, 2019

  • "I very much enjoyed your presentation, particularly your delivery. It is remarkable how your pauses, metaphors, and anecdotes helped to make the teachings more accessible and understandable. Often times, when you would pause and gesture with your hands to demonstrate pure consciousness—that was profound—and I could feel our collective understanding."
