Why I Do This Work
Again and again, I’ve witnessed these journeys bring clarity, peace, and transformation to those who seek it.
My purpose is to create a space where you can explore what’s been holding you back and step into a more grounded, authentic version of yourself.
Reflections from journeyers

"After trying several therapies and beginning to lose hope, this journey came to me at just the right time. It has completely changed my life, freeing me from years of emotional burden and revealing a version of myself I never knew existed. It was a true reset and the beginning of a new chapter."

"One session was more impactful than years of talk therapy. Therapy could never reach the essence of what I was carrying. In my first journey, a heavy weight lifted. I felt a veil of love, safety, compassion, and joy wash over me — feelings I hadn’t known in years. It felt like returning to a childhood home."

"On my path walking home, I happened upon Eric and Ingrid. I took a leap of faith. They held me as I dove deeper than ever before — guiding me in, setting the sails, and warming my heart. I am eternally grateful for their presence. I highly recommend Eric and Ingrid to anyone seeking reflective counsel or supportive guidance."

"This journey brought me fully into the present moment. For the first time, I felt I could connect with my soul and speak to my younger self. The feeling that has stayed with me most is gratitude. I find myself thanking the people close to me more often."

"I have no words for the difference in my life since then. That session began a complete shift — my spirit went from buried and silent to alive and guiding me into a life I didn’t know was possible. One year later, I feel joy, meaning, and direction again. Thank you."

The psychonaut's handbook
A set of three experiential processes which serve as potent preparation for adventures into the realms of the subconscious. The processes focus on retrieving allies: power animals, one’s intuition, and even one’s illnesses.
Shamanic Power Animal Journey
A shamanic journey is a 20-minute guided meditation to the beat of a buffalo drum. Native cultures all over the world recognize the existence of spirit helpers that appear to us in animal form.
Shamanic journeys are 100% substance and ideology free, suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Illness is a Resource
During our time on earth, each of us encounters our own unique combination of hardships, illnesses, and suffering. The truth is that our pain is here to become our power - the lesson is the medicine.
This process is very useful for integrating unpleasant psychedelic experiences.
Intuition is an Ally
Waste not, want not. If we do in fact have an intuition, then it is very useful to have a method to be able to ask it a question or two, here and there.
