  • I felt connected, seen, and safe in a way my soul has been yearning for a very, very long time. I am so grateful.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • As a busy COO 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.

  • 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.

  • The hour-long consultation with a 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.

  • When I first met Louis, his openness and confident vulnerability drew me in. After doing breathwork with him, I saw that guiding others was his true calling. This made me trust him completely for my psychedelic journey. Louis’s peaceful demeanor was calming, and I felt a deep sense of safety with him. As an experienced explorer, I wanted Louis to help enhance and deepen my experience in an integrative way. Our conversations during and after my journey have lightened my path, reducing shame and revealing a core value of compassion. His knowledge of Buddhism, yoga and nature-based traditions has deepened my spiritual practice, teaching me gentleness towards myself. I am deeply grateful to Louis for his guidance and support along my psychedelic journey.

OUR APPROACH

We do not impose meaning, but support you in discovering your own. Whether your orientation is scientific, spiritual, agnostic, or evolving, we respect your autonomy and worldview. Our role is to accompany you—to co-create a space where insight, clarity, and transformation can emerge.

Our work is relational. We believe healing happens in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with nature. The quality of connection is not a soft detail—it’s the very ground on which healing takes place.

We are grounded in embodiment. Present-moment awareness, interoception, and somatic attunement are key. These are not just techniques—they are doorways into deeper intelligence, where emotion, imagery, and insight arise from the body itself.

Throughout preparation, the journey, and integration, we draw on a broad spectrum of knowledge systems—including contemplative traditions, ecological medicine, psychology, and somatics. Our emerging therapeutic framework, Psychedelic-Assisted Mindfulness Therapy (PAMT), integrates these diverse strands into a coherent, evolving approach grounded in both research and lived experience.

Ultimately, we believe you are not separate from nature. You are nature experiencing itself in human form, just like us, everyone and everything else.

Our intention is to support you in making meaning of your experiences, embodying your insights, and remembering your place in the living system of life.

If you have questions or feel the pull to begin, we welcome you to reach out.

At Woven, we begin with the breath—our most primal and accessible connection to life—and work with a variety of medicines and practices that support healing, insight, and transformation. But more than anything, we work with the conditions that allow these processes to unfold.

Our approach draws from holism, systems theory, transpersonal and ecopsychology, trauma-informed care, and contemplative science. We understand the human being as a complex, adaptive system—embedded in relationships, shaped by environment, and capable of self-organization and renewal. Healing and growth then, is not forced from outside. It emerges like a forest after a fire or a body after injury when the internal and external conditions are supportive.

This is why we focus on creating a sense of safety, trust, presence, and attunement. These are the relational and neurobiological foundations from which lasting change becomes possible.

At the same time, we recognize that humans are not just biological organisms, but meaning-making beings—spiritual by nature. Our work honours the symbolic, the intuitive, and the mysterious. We embrace the unknown as part of the healing process. You are not a set of symptoms to be fixed, but a dynamic and intelligent expression of life itself—a vital thread in the greater web of being to which we all belong.

We believe that each person holds an innate capacity to heal, grow, and flourish. The breath, Earth’s medicine, and the practices we use are catalysts, not cures. The real intelligence arises from within you—through your body, your intuition, your dreams, and your connection to the living, natural world.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.

FAQ

  • 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.

Your good intentions are not enough; you have to be artful. Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.
