My life has been changed forever
"I would never have been able to face my fears without these incredible facilitators. They walk the walk! True role models and believers in trusting our own process. I believe they can hold anything that comes their way, so they created a very safe environment. My life has been changed forever, and I have learned there is nothing to be scared of in me, more self-love and welcoming of life. Thanks so much, you beautiful people!"

My experience with Essence Institute was profoundly uplifting and feels joyously life changing.
"Our guides took us through the most wonderful, gentle and caring process, which created a truly sacred space for our truffles experience. They helped us clarify why we were there, they dispeled any fear or anxiety that many of us had beforehand, and they created a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere – the perfect setting for the experience. They took great care of all of us during and after the experience, helping us to examine the meaning of what happened to us and helping us to plan how we’d apply the insights to our daily life. I think this strong emphasis on integration has been profoundly helpful. Since I have been back home I have been much more joyful and less worried and reactive than I had previously been. I have been meditating and journaling daily, and reading Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach, which has the same loving approach to spiritual growth that our team of guides had. My wife and friends have noticed a change in me. For the first time in ages I feel I’m taking proper care of myself, and I think as a result people around me are responding to me in a kinder, more open way, which is a joy. I know I still have a lot of work to do, and I have occasional lapses, but I’m joyfully committed to this new path I’m on thanks to my Essence retreat. I wholeheartedly recommend the experience with Essence. Thank you so much!"

Could not be happier with the outcome
"The retreat for me provided the solution/peace I have been seeking all my life. I write this 6 weeks following the psychedelic experience and I have a profound feeling of relief from a lifetime of rumination and anxiety with an increased level of happiness and connectivity. I felt extremely safe and supported prior to and during the process. I had travelled a great distance to undertake the psilocybin journey and could not be happier with my outcome. Just sad that I had to wait until 67 years of age. I am continuing with the integration process of daily meditation and journaling."
