In 2018 I participated in a psychedelic weekend retreat that completely changed my life.

It was a line in the sand, and I have not been the same since.

The truth is, as exciting, appealing, or intriguing as that may sound to you right now, that weekend left me disoriented, confused, and scared.

Yes, they were changes I wanted and had tried for years to make, but a complete 180 on my identity without any guidance, support, or compassion left me in the dark for a long time. Years.
