About Your Guide
Woven is lead by Louis Belleau, an academic researcher and experienced practitioner with a long-standing engagement in contemplative practices. Louis has been engaging with psychedelics intentionally since his teenage years as a spiritual seeker, alongside a near-daily meditation practice and sustained study of mysticism, philosophy, embodied cognition, ecopsychology and Indigenous ecological knowledge systems.
He holds academic training at the undergraduate and graduate levels in psychology, philosophy, and religious studies. His current research focuses on the role of psychedelics in mediating human-nature relations. His work is informed by neuroscience and psychology, as well as enactive, systems-based perspectives that view the human being as embedded within relational, cultural, ecological, and cosmic contexts.
Louis does not position himself as a healer or authority. Instead, his role is to create conditions for insight and self-organization to emerge—walking alongside you with presence, discernment, and respect for your autonomy.
There is a coming home. A home base. Psychedelics help reconnect with home.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dosage is determined based on various factors, including the individual's weight, metabolism, past experiences with psychedelics, and the specific substance being used. Dosage is approached with respect for the substance's potency and the individual's sensitivity, aiming to create a balance between therapeutic effects and safety.
-
We use the term "journey" to emphasize the transformative nature of the psychedelic experience. A journey implies embarking on an inner exploration of the self and the cosmos, guided by the wisdom of ancient traditions, modern science, and the intelligence of nature.
-
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 provie by virtue of their accredation by a surveying national association with specific rules and regulations that do not consider psychedelics.
-
Psychedelic experiences are not a guaranteed cure, but they can be powerful catalysts for healing and transformation. Healing is seen as a multifaceted and lifelong journey that involves addressing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing. Psychedelics can provide profound insights and experiences that support healing on all levels, but ongoing integration and personal work are essential for sustained transformation.
-
The frequency of psychedelic experiences varies for each individual and depends on factors such as personal goals, readiness, and responsiveness to the experiences. From a holistic standpoint, the number of journeys needed is guided by the individual's unique healing journey and their ongoing integration process. It's essential to approach psychedelics with intention, respect, and mindfulness, allowing the experiences to unfold in their own time and rhythm.
