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?

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.

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
4 total
Proven coaching process focused on your goals and desires, expert-led microdosing support to develop a personalized plant medicine practice, integration of the most effective somatic, cognitive, and embodiment tools known to science
-
Your journey begins with discovering what you truly want and where you're headed. Then comes mapping the path forward—each step deliberate and clear. Within the very first session, you'll uncover hidden somatic patterns your body holds, the whispered doubts and limiting beliefs that have held you back, and the emotions that have been waiting patiently to be freed. As these old guardians finally release their grip, transformation unfolds naturally, and you’ll leave the first session with a personalized toolbox of resources to begin the journey.
-
Now you become the master mechanic of your own being—fine-tuning what hums with life while gently releasing what no longer serves. You learn to recognize your allies and transform your obstacles into unexpected allies. Your mind begins rewiring itself toward strength, naturally gravitating toward what brings joy. In this process, you discover something remarkable: all your scattered pieces want to work together. You step into your role as the wise conductor of this inner orchestra, each part finally playing in harmony under your compassionate leadership.
-
With your inner world harmonized, it's time to fuel the journey ahead. You’ll learn the art of nourishing yourself and nervous system regulation—with rest that restores, joy that sparkles, and creativity that flows freely. Your nervous system becomes your trusted companion as you master the gentle rhythms of activation and calm. Day by day, you will step more fully into the most inspiring version of your life and yourself, the one who you’ve always been, who was always there waiting. Rest is no longer something you squeeze in—it becomes sacred fuel for the magnificent life you're creating.
-
The final act requires the greatest courage: letting go. You begin releasing your white-knuckled grip on control, allowing the past to transform from burden into wisdom that lights your present path. Old relationships—whether with people, places, or long-held beliefs—reveal themselves clearly now. Some you tenderly release, others you lovingly reshape. Your lens on reality shifts, and suddenly the world becomes a place of infinite possibility rather than limitation. In this spaciousness, something beautiful emerges: an unshakeable confidence in yourself and an almost childlike trust that life itself is conspiring in your favor.
GROUP SESSIONS
4 total
In the company of like-minded community, you’ll learn some of the most strongly evidence-based tools and techniques for mastering mind, body, spirit and health in these experiential group practice and integrative Q&A sessions.
-
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 our mind. We will learn how to calm, focus, and channel the power of our minds towards the fulfillment of our most heartfelt desires, utilizing powerful 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.
-
The journey is the destination. 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. You learn to live fully awake in this moment, releasing the grip of yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's worries as you simply become what you're already becoming. With this presence comes an unexpected gift: the ability to meet whatever life brings with joy, ease, and a fearless heart that knows transformation is always unfolding perfectly.

Ready To Start Your Journey?
This program is for you if:

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
You value coaching that honors your agency, not tells you what to do
You are ready to commit to yourself, your wellbeing and you are excited to devote time every single day to the process
You are excited to put in the work to transform your life and are looking to plant medicine in an open, friendly way to gently support you in the process
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 effectively 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 Arin brings over a decade of experience in professional psychedelic settings, from indigenous South American traditions to modern North American underground communities to industry leading psilocybin-assisted therapy centers.
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 trained in some of the most effective integration-focused and consciousness-altering 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.
