Whether for mental health, personal growth, spiritual connection, or self-actualization, an intentional, facilitated psychedelic journey can be a powerful vehicle for lasting healing and inner discovery. With nearly 20% of Americans on prescription psychotropic medications due to the mental health crisis, it’s clear that mental health challenges are serving as the gateway for reintegration into our contemporary society and for good reason. The powerful role of psychedelics as a promising pathway toward highly effective & sustainable mental health treatment is undeniable with over 20,000 op eds and over 1500 peer reviewed articles in some of America’s most prestigious Academic journals.
However, psychedelics have proven to be as if not more transformative for uses that expand beyond a pure therapeutic framework. These compounds have been used sacramentally by some of the world’s most cherished civilizations and indigenous cultures for thousands of years for healing, visionary insight, community harmonization and spiritual connection. Recent studies have also demonstrated the profound efficacy of psychedelics on leadership capacity (empathy & service), creative genius, adept processing, peak performance and beyond. Paired with a highly curated protocol, mindfulness practices and a rich support structure, a psychedelic immersive experience can support an enduring shift beyond the bounds of conditioning and neurosis into a more essential, individuated way of being.
Many of you may have watched the thought-provoking film Fantastic Fungi featuring master mycologist Paul Stamets, or read the provocative psychedelic exploits of journalist turned pioneering psychonaut Michael Pollan in How to Change Your Mind (as recently interviewed by none other than Oprah Winfrey). Perhaps you caught a headline cover story in Newsweek, or saw psychedelic advocate Rick Doblin on “Good Morning America.” These mainstream explorations may have also brought you to The SpArc today! Yet, It’s critical to understand that, although psychedelics can serve as powerful catalysts of healing and inner growth, they are not panaceas. Psychedelics can open a powerful, visceral window into the core choices that make change truly possible, along with creating the neurochemical conditions to support breakthrough shifts. Yet when adept facilitation of these medicines is paired with rigorous assessment, preparation, and integration — along with additional holistic wellness practices supporting ongoing healing, growth, and self-discovery — the potential for true, lasting transformation heightens dramatically. That is the heart of what we offer through The SpArc.
The SpArc Facilitates guided psychedelic journey experiences. The compound is provided by the journeyer and we create a highly intentional structure to prepare, create a safe and ethical immersion experience, and work together to integrate & embody the experience.
Lodging and travel are not included in the psychedelic facilitation experiences. Accommodations are included in the package. Additional fees may be incurred for amenities and additional services per the discretion of the client.
The SpArc does not provide psychoactive or controlled substances, nor are we licensed therapists, counselors, or medical professionals. Any information received through our services should be considered for educational purposes and not be misconstrued as medical or legal advice. Please use your discretion to ensure our services meet your needs.
A mental & physical health screening for safety and readiness is the first step to exploring if a Psychedelic Journey is right for you. Our screening explores mental health conditioners that are contraindications for a safe experience including: Bi-Polar, Schizophrenia, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Sociopathy or narcissistic personality disorder. We also explore if you are currently or have recently been prescribed an SSRI, Lithium, or SNRI for a depressive or mood disorder – which doesn’t automatically exclude partaking, yet will lead to many important considerations for safe progression. A physical screening will mainly focus on heart health and any known illnesses, disorders, or conditions related to adverse reactions to physical or mental stress. In addition, ongoing addictions to alcohol and substance abuse will also be closely explored to ensure physical and psychological safety & readiness for the intensity of an immersive experience.
Our preparation guidelines are based upon the Holistic Model for a Balanced Life first introduced by Francoise Bourzat. Together we take a 360 degree snapshot of your current body, mind, spirit, community & environmental orientation. We assess physical rest, nutrition and exercise; mental stimulation sources like social media, politics and drama vs. regenerative & nourishing sources of engagement; the existence & role of spiritual & mindful practice; community & leadership impact circles; and your relationship to the environment. All with the understanding that shifts in behavior in orientation to these five dynamics of life creating healthy practices & patterns can lead to a much richer & sustainable plant medicine journey. We also review the (4) stages and (5) traditional states of a psychedelic experience.
The Journey will take place in a beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounded by nature’s bounty, in a home temple equipped with every amenity for safety & comfort, and facilitated by a trained and certified psychedelic coach, guide & facilitator. The journey will begin on a day of light fasting followed by a moderate hike in nature (physical capacity considered) to help release the contemplations of the mind and reorient into a more primal space of interconnection with the world around us. This will be followed by a breathwork session and further intention distillation exercise. The journey itself will last for 6-8 hours in which the full experience will be overseen by a trained, experienced, and certified guide. The journey will conclude with a large nourishing meal and reflective conversation capturing key insights experienced.
Integration in many ways is the most critical step of the journey facilitation Arc. Without a way to capture and channel the depth and breadth of insights gleaned from an experience, due to their dramatically novel nature in one’s life, they are quite apt to puff away like a fading lucid dream. Upon the culmination of an experience, an hour the following morning is spent capturing as many critical insights from the experience as possible. This is then cross-referenced with the preparation & intention notes, as well as with insights expressed and captured during the journey itself by the facilitator and client. A series of activities, actions, supportive modalities, and supplements will be provided to help retain and sustain these insights weaving them deeply into the fabric of your daily orientation for lasting personal growth and transformation.
