There’s far too much to share here about my four year initiation into the world of Amanita Muscaria, and to be honest, I usually share my deep felt gratitude for when we are all sitting in ceremony with Amanita to ensure these intimate moments with her are being received with an open heart & mind. Through this ancient fungi, I was catapulted into collective shadow work, I was shown the rage and grief blocking my heart from beyond this life that I was carrying, I have met the feral wild woman within myself, who taught me about duality and I have conjured time and time again the strength to get back on my feet after being confronted with aspects of my psyche that I was hiding from others, all while learning the art of forgiveness, compassion & unconditional love. This journey with Amanita has been an acceleration of evolution and I am grateful to have been able to integrate her many lessons to be able to share this transformative ally  through breathwork ceremonies & online journeys such as the five week Amanita Maiden Journey. Amanita has been the source of much inspiration, like the birthing of a micro business that I am soul grateful to be sharing.

Here’s what I revere most about Amanita:

​​

• In micro form, Amanita gently dissolves layers of protection we’ve built around the heart, inviting us into deeper vulnerability, emotional release, and a remembrance of love as our original essence. 

• This psychoactive ancient fungi is the oldest entheogen on the planet and holds a deep, grounding presence that can root you back into communion with the Earth, the ancestors, elements and can be very consistent with showing you any behaviours or patterns that are not supporting your highest Self. When it comes to addictive tendencies, this fungi excels at helping to rewire patterns at the root and restore a deep sense of inner sovereignty. 

• One of the primary compounds in Amanita, Muscimol, binds to GABA-A receptors as a direct agonist, (GABA is the brain’s main inhibitory neurotransmitter, which calms the nervous system, reduces anxiety, and promotes relaxation). By binding, it helps to create a more relaxed, present, dreamy like state of consciousness, which allows the body to rest, reset and repair. 

• For those ready to walk the path of remembrance, Amanita can reawaken the inner mystic, revealing heart-centered insights, ancestral messages and soul truths that have long been waiting to be heard.

​Why I serve Amanita in ceremony...

​

• Through a minimum effective dose approach, each person is able to gently meet the medicine with presence, integration and deep listening, building an intimate relationship to the Spirit of Amanita, and here in this space the insights, inner visions and intuitive messages for what is next on the journey for each individual. 

• Combined with Conscious Connected Breathwork, Amanita can guide people into altered, dreamlike lucid states of consciousness where deep heart truths can surface that need to be felt to be released so that a new story can be written to support one’s healing journey. 

• Known as the “Mushroom for adults”- unlike visionary psychedelic plants that may take you “out,” in micro form Amanita tends to take you in- into the body, the breath and the tender places requiring your extra loving presence within.
