The Old Version of You Got You Here.

She Can't Take You Further.

You've done the work.


Therapy. Breathwork. The books that cracked you open at 2am. The morning routine you've rebuilt more times than you can count.


You know your story. You've journaled it inside and out. And the weight is still there.


Your shoulders still tense before the day even starts. Tuesday mornings still find you spiraling. And somewhere between the calendar and the carpool and the career, you've quietly wondered — when do I get to stop performing and finally find meaning, purpose and healing that lasts?


I get it. I've been there too.


Your mind is brilliant. It built your whole life. But some of what you're carrying was never just a thought — it lives in your body, your breath, the bracing you don't even notice anymore.


That part of you doesn't need more analysis.


It needs a door.


The medicine opens it.

Why a Women's Psychedelic Retreat Is Different


Most psychedelic retreats are designed for everyone — which means they're truly designed for no one in particular.


A woman's path to wholeness is not a smaller version of a man's. Your nervous system, your hormonal landscape, the weight of caretaking, the grief of self-abandonment — these are not side notes to your healing. They are the whole story.


The Awakened Journey is held entirely woman-to-woman — from your first conversation through ceremony and deep into integration. This is not a mixed retreat with a women's circle bolted on. This is a sacred container designed from the ground up for the feminine soul.


Here, you will not have to filter yourself for anyone. You will not have to be strong. You will not have to explain what it feels like to have held everyone else together for so long that you have forgotten what it feels like to be held yourself.  You can simply arrive. And let the medicine, and this space, meet you exactly where you are.


  • A guide who has lived the feminine experience and understands it from the inside
  • A sacred container where you can be fully witnessed, without performance or self-protection
  • Space to grieve, release, soften, and expand into expanded awareness that is entirely your own
  • Integration that honors the somatic, relational way women process and embody lasting change


A 4-Month Psychedelic Retreat Program — Not Just a Single Weekend


Most programs hand you a profound experience and send you home to figure out what to do with it.

The Awakened Journey was built around a different understanding: the ceremony is not the destination. It is the opening.


Over four months, you move through a comprehensive program that is designed to prepare you, support you through ceremony, and ensure what you experience doesn't fade back into the noise of ordinary life. 


Think of a medicine journey + personal development + deep soul work.


This isn't just a program you complete; it’s a space you live, breathe. and embody.

The Psychedelic Experience


The medicine does not force anything. It dissolves the defenses the ego has spent decades constructing — the beliefs about who you have to be, the stories about why you can't change, the walls between you and your own heart.


In that dissolution, something opens. Women describe it differently — unity consciousness, a return to self, a sense of timeless presence that makes the weight they have been carrying feel suddenly, inexplicably optional.


This isn't pleasure-seeking. It's perspective-seeking. Landmark research out of Johns Hopkins has found that people consistently rate their psilocybin experience among the most personally meaningful of their entire lives — on par with the birth of a child. And the shift doesn't fade when the session ends: in follow-up assessments over a year later, participants still pointed to that one experience as a lasting source of clarity, connection, and renewed sense of what actually matters.


It's like 10 years of talk therapy in 5 hours - with lasting profound changes.


This is not a metaphor. It is not "woo." It is a neurologically documented shift in default mode network activity that creates a rare window of expanded awareness — one that the Awakened Journey is specifically designed to meet, hold, and translate into lasting change.

Two Ways to Experience the Awakened Journey

Guided by Cindy — Psychedelic Guide, Brain Health Coach & NLP Practitioner


My path into this work began with a spark of curiosity. What started as a desire to explore became the very foundation of how I live.


I spent over 35 years studying the mind, the heart, and what actually drives lasting change. Not theoretically. Personally. I taught mindset practices, I taught other women how to manifest and set goals. I did the inner work that high-achieving women do when they sense something is missing but can't quite name it.


And then I found the medicine.


What happened in that space changed everything. It didn’t just offer me new tools—it actually freed me from the deep pain, life experiences, and old beliefs that I had been unable to shake through years of personal development work, meditation, hypnosis, or energy work of all kinds.  For the first time, transformation wasn’t just a concept I was practicing. It was a lived reality in my body.


It became the source of my own awakening - the shedding of my old belief system and way of being in the world.


That became the foundation of the Awakened Journey.


I am a Certified NLP Practitioner, HeartMath® Practitioner, Certified Brain Health Coach, Hypnotherapist, and trained Psychedelic Guide and Integration Coach. But more than my credentials, I bring something that no certification can confer — I have been where you are. I know what it costs to hold everyone else together while quietly wondering if there is anything left for you.


As a wife and mother to two daughters, I have also watched this work ripple outward into the people I love most. Healing that begins inside one woman does not stay inside one woman.


If something on this page has spoken to a part of you that doesn't usually get to speak — I'd be honored to have a conversation.

Is a Women's Psychedelic Retreat Right for You?


The Awakened Journey is not for everyone — and that's intentional.  It's designed for women who are:


  • Ready to go beyond talk therapy and surface-level tools
  • Willing to do genuine inner work — before, during and after the ceremony
  • Seeking lasting change, not just a single profound experience
  • Medically and psychologically ready for a psilocybin journey (assessed through our intake process)
  •  Open to a blend of science, spirituality and somatic practices


If you've read this far and something in you is quietly saying yes — that is worth listening to. The analytical mind will find reasons to wait. The soul already knows.


The first step is simply to apply. We'll have an honest conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and whether this is the right fit for you right now. No pressure. No performance required.
