Louis Belleau, MA
Woven is led by Louis Belleau, an academic researcher and experienced practitioner with a long-standing engagement in contemplative practices.
He holds academic training at the undergraduate and graduate levels in psychology, philosophy, religious studies, and psychedelics. His current academic research focuses on the role of psychedelics in mediating human-nature relations.
Louis does not position himself as a healer or authority. Instead, his role is to create conditions for self-organization and insight to emerge—walking alongside you with presence, discernment, and respect for your autonomy.

Louis naturally breathes and embodies a presence of deep peace. The breathwork sessions we did together were life changing. A combination of a crystal clear intuition and skillful guidance made me feel safe and held, allowing for a frozen part of me, stuck and hidden in time to open and melt with great lightness and ease. Highly recommended.
Yost V. Past private journey client -
The hour-long consultation with Louis before my journey proved incredibly helpful. It left me as prepared as possible to take the leap and as a result I had the most meaningful psychedelic experience of my life. Among the most useful parts of the consultation was learning a new breathing practice that allowed me to stay grounded throughout the journey. Going forward, that practice has become a pillar of my daily life. I would definitely recommend Woven to anyone interested in doing transformative inner work.
Hannah F. Past private consultation client -
I felt connected, seen, and safe in a way my soul has been yearning for a very, very long time. I am so grateful.
Cooper N. Past retreat participant -
The retreat was incredible. I came hoping to find certain answers. Instead, I was delivered something better. I did not get what I wanted out of it, I got what my body and soul needed.
Evan M. Past retreat participant -
As a busy COO of one of America’s fastest growing companies, it’s been so long since I’ve had the opportunity to unplug and take the special time needed to reconnect with myself, find healing and practice mindfulness. The reconnect retreat was the perfect place to do that, meet like-minded people, and get excellent guidance in psilocybin therapy. The retreat was an incredible safe space and beautiful community of people seeking healing and growth.
Anthony C. Past retreat participant -

Kelly L. Past retreat participant -
Having the guidance of Jack and Louis during the meditations and conscious connected breathwork sessions was powerful in a way I could have never imagined. My experience with Woven changed my entire perspective on words, gratitude, and surrender.
Chris Past retreat participant -
From the moment everyone was together, Louis and Jack created a warm, open, and accepting environment for everyone. There was an immediate sense of safety that allowed me to bring down my walls and truly explore myself and express it. Details were meticulous. Every morning there were sessions to settle into yourself for the experiences of the day. I would encourage anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness and care to do so with skilled guides not think twice about attending a Woven retreat. The only bad thing I have to say is that I wanted more time with the incredible men who attended the retreat.
Erik Z. Past retreat participant -

What is a psychedelic experience?
A psychedelic experience involves altered states of consciousness induced by substances like psilocybin, LSD, or ayahuasca. These experiences can lead to profound shifts in perception, cognition, and emotion, allowing individuals to access deeper layers of consciousness and gain insights into the nature of reality, the self, and existence. From a holistic perspective, psychedelics are seen as tools that facilitate connection with the innate intelligence of the mind and the interconnected web of existence.
Are psychedelics safe?
While psychedelics can induce powerful experiences, safety depends on various factors, including set (mindset), setting (physical, social, cultural, political environment), substance purity, and dosage. Research suggests that when used in a supportive and controlled setting, psychedelics can be safe for most individuals. However, it’s essential to approach them with caution, respect, and reverence, following best practices to minimize potential risks.
What if I have a bad trip?
A bad trip can occur when challenging emotions, memories, or experiences arise during a psychedelic journey. From a holistic perspective, a bad trip may be seen as an opportunity for deep healing and transformation. Experienced guides can provide support and guidance to navigate difficult moments, helping individuals integrate challenging experiences and find meaning and insight in them.
Why do I need a guide?
Guides provide essential support and guidance throughout the psychedelic journey, helping individuals navigate the depths of consciousness and integrate insights into their daily lives. Guides serve as facilitators of healing, drawing upon neuroscience, transpersonal psychology, indigenous wisdom, and nature-based spirituality to create a safe and supportive container for exploration and growth. Unlike therapists, guides are not limited by the lens of the Western psychotherapeutic framework and can offer more personalized support which traditional therapists may not be willing or able to provide by virtue of their accreditation by a surveying national association with specific rules and regulations that do not consider psychedelics.
