About
A cooperative of professionals with diverse skills, led by Louis Belleau.
Louis Belleau, MA
Woven is led by Louis Belleau, a psychedelic researcher and guide, and a teacher of yoga as a complete path, mindfulness meditation, and breathwork. His work explores the intersection of psychedelics, ecology, spirituality, and health, with a focus on helping people reconnect with the innate wisdom of nature.
Louis has been engaging with psychedelics intentionally since his teenage years as a self-directed spiritual seeker, alongside regular meditation and asana practice, and the study of mysticism, philosophy, cognition, ecopsychology, and Indigenous ecological knowledge. He draws on Buddhism, yogic philosophy, and Indigenous traditions. He understands psychedelic experience as an important human right with implications for individual and collective wellbeing.
He trained in Psychology, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at McGill University and holds an MA in Psychedelics & Consciousness Studies from the University of Ottawa. His current research focuses on the role of psychedelics in mediating cognition through ecological networks. His work is informed by neuroscience and ecopsychology, as well as enactive, systems-based perspectives that view the human being and mind as embedded within and continuous with living systems. He also founded and directs Psygaia, a nonprofit for psychedelic research, education, and support, which offers education and community to Woven clients. Woven is Louis’s private practice; Psygaia is a separate organization.
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.
A woven network
Woven connects you to a wide web of trusted professionals, each bringing their own skills, perspectives, and expertise. For every individual or group, we carefully assess whether additional support may be beneficial and connect you to the best care available.
