Dear Friends,
We felt called to share a few reflections with you for those who have walked this path for many years, and those who are just beginning to walk beside us. The path of healing, of remembering, of becoming whole.
As the world continues to move through the turbulence of its own making, many hearts are searching for relief. For meaning. For healing. It’s no surprise that interest in psychs has grown so rapidly, so much so that medicines once prepared with reverence are now being produced on an industrial scale. Nearly every day, we are asked what dosage will lead to an “ego death” experience.
And while it’s true that psych medicines have changed countless lives for the better, we have also witnessed many people come away confused, ungrounded, or feeling no closer to healing than when they began. The reason is not mysterious, it lies in how these experiences are approached and how they are integrated.
Having personally experienced ego death, and having held space for others moving through it, we do not believe it is a journey meant to be taken lightly or alone. These experiences can be profoundly healing and illuminating, but they can also be destabilizing without proper support. This is especially true with medicines such as dimitry. Many feel called toward the dissolution it offers, yet are not fully prepared to understand or navigate the realities it opens. Without guidance, some walk away carrying spiritual confusion or trauma, unsure how to ground themselves again or close what has been opened.
This may not resonate with everyone. But after years of working directly with Indigenous communities and learning from traditional healers…after witnessing shamans guide us through states beyond ordinary perception, we’ve seen that even within sacred, ceremonial contexts, awareness and integration remain essential. Without them, even the most profound experience can fade, leaving us right where we started.
Please hear us clearly: we are not here to discourage exploration. We believe there are no wrong paths. Every soul learns in its own way. But if the true intention is healing the heart, it’s important to understand that there are no shortcuts. Deep, lasting peace comes from sustained continuous commitment, to the mind, the body, and the spirit.
There is little value in chasing ego death if there is no grounding practice to support it. Healing is not a single event, it is the path itself. It is the lifelong devotion to knowing yourself, caring for your body, and learning to meet life as it is, without blame or judgment. That quiet acceptance…that is where true ego dissolution begins.
If one emerges from an ego death experience still holding others responsible for their suffering, we gently question whether the ego has truly loosened its grip. The oldest teachings remind us that all things arise from the same source. Light and shadow, good and evil, are not separate, they are expressions of one whole.
We remember our own most powerful ego death clearly. It took years to integrate what was revealed. The medicine showed us everything…our fear and our love, our darkness and our compassion, and then, with great simplicity, reminded us: of course they all belong together. We are one. Those who love and those who hurt….same source if looked deeply enough.
So yes, we encourage respectful journeys with these medicines. we believe slow, intentional steps often lead farther than dramatic leaps. Deep dives have their place, yet for many, consistent and mindful practices such as supported ceremonies or even micro-dosing allow the nervous system to absorb and integrate wisdom more fully.
We offer this message with love. We are here to guide those who feel the soul’s call to explore these realms, and we also wish to lovingly remind everyone: healing asks for patience, honesty, and commitment. The medicine can show the path, but only you can walk it.
Please be discerning about your sources, your setting, and your intentions. Check in with your heart. Healing takes time. It asks for dedication and practice. In a world accustomed to instant solutions, remembering this may be the medicine we need most.
Peace, love, and harmony
