Do you feel like you’re:

Stuck in unhelpful thought or behavior loops and patterns?

  • Searching for meaning or change but unsure how to act on it?

  • Ready for something different but can't get motivated?

  • Feeling weighed down under a sadness, loneliness or anxiety you just can't shake?

  • At a crossroads and feeling a sense of confusion or disorientation?

  • Sick of the same old stories or wounds limiting your possibilities?

  • Being called to work more closely with plant medicines but unsure where to start?

Transformation may be knocking at your door. And you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Many people don't recognize transformation when it's on their doorstep. Often, it can feel like being stuck in a pattern of pain and discomfort, but actually it may be an invitation from your deepest self, calling you into your life's potential. 

Many people lack the support, structure, or guidance to recognize or act on this calling. This can lead to confusion, false starts, and even risk. That’s why we’ve created a guided 9-week microdosing journey, based on a decade of experience facilitating psychedelic transformation grounded in safety, science, and sacred ritual practice.

The Journey We’ll Go On:

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS

5 total

Personalized coaching focused on your goals, tailored microdosing support and troubleshooting + integration of somatic, mindfulness, and parts-work tools

  • clarifying your goals and desires, outlining a detailed process to take you to your destination, uncovering and beginning to transform misaligned somatic patterning, limiting beliefs and blocked or stuck emotions

  • empowering what's working and disengaging what isn't working, identifying key supports and integrating key roadblocks, rewiring the brain towards empowerment and refocusing the mind on joy, discovering the power of an integrated self and becoming an empowered steward/leader of our inner 'parts’ 

  • transforming the past to empower the present, identifying and transforming relationships (to people, places, things etc.) that might not be serving, building an empowering view of life, the world and reality, developing confidence and learning to trust yourself and life unequivocally 

  • nourishing the mind and body through rest, joy and creativity, developing mastery at regulating and soothing the nervous system, embodying the most inspiring vision of yourself on your path, prioritizing rest and relaxation

  • deepening your capacity for vibrant presence, letting go of past and future anxieties, learning to 'BE’ what you are becoming, understanding the cycle or phases of transformation and change, cultivating joyfulness, ease and fearlessness in the face of whatever life brings you

GROUP SESSIONS

4 total

Embodied rituals for the Body, Mind, Breath, and Integration - practices include Somatic Focusing, Yoga Nidra, Insight Meditation, Breathwork Journeys and more + Community connection and sacred peer support

  • researchers out of the University of Chicago discovered that success in therapy is not attributable to the type or length of therapy, but rather boils down to a single, teachable skill - we will explore and learn that skill through the lens of a gentle yoga practice you can do sitting in a chair

  • our most powerful creative tool is the mind. We will learn how to calm, focus and channel the power of our minds through ancient techniques for mindfulness, metacognition, introspection and awareness cultivation

  • if you want to change your life, change the way you breathe. Scientists have recently realized that the ancients deeply understood this simple notion. While a thousand years ago it wasn't possible to take an image of our skull or our brain, today's technology has allowed us to see the deleterious effects of certain styles of breathing on our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. In this session we will explore the possibilities of the breath as a vehicle for change, health and happiness

  • our final session will be a ritual celebration of our time together as well as an important threshold or gateway to the next part of the procession, integration. We will enjoy the fruits of our labor and explore simple, practical ways to keep the process going even (and especially) in the face of inevitable challenges

PREPARATION SESSION

Initial kickoff call for program orientation, including detailed guidance on getting setup for the program and how to work ritually with plant medicines

ONGOING SUPPORT

1:1 WhatsApp support + group thread for questions, sharing, and guidance

Optional Nectara community space for reflection & connection

  • You’re 21+ and ready for meaningful change and self-empowerment

  • You’re curious about integrating plant medicine into your life in a safe, guided way

  • You want to prepare for or integrate a psychedelic journey

  • You seek a blend of science-backed, goal-oriented and spiritually-minded support

It is NOT for people who:

  • Are currently in crisis or with untreated trauma

  • Cannot meet their own basic needs 

  • Are unwilling to set time aside every day to prioritize engagement with the process and practices

  • Want someone to give them all the answers

  • Are looking for plant medicines to “cure them”, “fix them” or solve their problems for them

  • Are not ready to be honest with themselves and the people around them 

  • Will not allow themselves to be guided or adopt a beginner's mind

Our Approach

✅ Evidence-based tools grounded in both neuroscience and contemplative wisdom

✅ Rooted in embodiment, not escape - we will practice opening towards and embracing life, while setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, as a means to change

✅ Emphasizes skill-building: in order to set you up to guide and steward your own process in the future

✅ Tailored to your life — no cookie-cutter protocols: all individualized sessions will be tailored to the content of your day to day experience between sessions - this way insights will have real-time impact and relevance

✅ Help empower you with the confidence, clarity, and capacity needed to live more freely and meet what life brings you

We will work with a model called  the cycle of transformation in order to learn when and how to act skillfully moment to moment, when to rest and rely on your boundaries and inner knowing, and how to trust the process so you can release anxieties and enjoy more of life

Meet Your Facilitator,
Arin Amsler

Arin brings over a decade of experience in psychedelic containers of all kinds, from indigenous South American traditions to modern North American underground communities to industry leading psilocybin-assisted therapy centers, to the world of microdosing. 

However, what makes Arin truly qualified to support individuals in their personal practice with plant medicine is her own deeply embodied experience and commitment to her own personal practice. In addition to over 10 years of personal psychedelic experience with various plant teachers, within the last decade Arin has spent thousands of hours in intensive retreat and has studied with masters from the Peruvian Andes to the Nepalese Himalayas to the foothills of Northern India. 

As a lifelong student of transformation Arin has also studied some of the most effective integration-focused modalities from yoga, breathwork and meditation to coaching, somatic embodiment and various psychotherapeutic systems. She is also a devoted lifelong student-practitioner of Eastern nondual yoga. 

In addition to bringing professional experience as a Certified Coach, Yoga Therapist, Reiki Master and psilocybin facilitator, Arin anchors her approach to transformation in the notion that one's dreams and desires are bound for inevitable fulfillment.

A notion poetically expressed by Danish author Karen Blixen: 

“Nobody has seen the trekking birds take their way towards such warmer spheres as do not exist, or rivers break their course through rocks and plains to run into an ocean which is not to be found. For God does not create a longing or a hope without having a fulfilling reality ready for them. But our longing is our pledge, and blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home.”

Arin sees her primary role as a coach as simply supporting folks in stoking this fire of their deepest longings and coming home to themselves.

  • "If you are called here, trust the call. Something ancient in you may be ready to shift."

     — David (California, USA)

  • "I couldn’t have imagined the entire experience to have gone any better. "

  • “I recommend Confluence unreservedly.”

     — Chris (Illinois, USA)


  • “For me the experience allowed me to work through some incredibly difficult childhood memories and emotions, and I've come out feeling significantly lighter, calmer, and happier. I feel much more secure in my relationships, and perhaps most importantly my relationship with myself. I am finding joy in the small things in life and feel more able to hear and listen to myself rather than the voice of others.”

    — Raj (California, USA)
