Hey lovely souls,
As April draws to a close, I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of reflection. This month was powerful — raw, revealing, and full of magic. One of the most beautiful highlights was our Snowdonia Retreat. Wow. What an unforgettable experience.
We gathered in sacred space, surrounded by the breathtaking Welsh mountains, and what unfolded was nothing short of profound. Beautiful souls came together, some for the first time ever sitting with plant medicine, and the breakthroughs we witnessed were next-level. There were tears, belly laughs, energetic releases, and those quiet moments of truth where you finally meet yourself without the mask. That’s the work. That’s the beauty of this path.
And it brought up something really important that I feel needs to be shared openly…
Honesty and Medication Use at Retreats
To truly go deep with plant medicine, honesty is everything. We hold a fiercely safe and sacred container, but that safety relies on transparency — especially when it comes to medications.
Heavy medications like SSRIs and opiates can interact in dangerous ways with plant medicine, both physically and energetically. This is why, at our retreats, it’s vital that no medications are brought on site. We say this with love, not judgment. It’s not about exclusion — it’s about safety, integrity, and allowing the medicine to meet you fully.
We do support people who are looking to slowly and safely wean off these medications, and this is something we offer guidance on through microdosing protocols and ongoing support. But it has to be done properly, with care, and never rushed.
Please know: if this is you, reach out. You don’t have to do it alone. But you do have to be honest.
My Personal Reflections This Month
Facilitating this work is an honour — but I won’t sugar-coat it — it can also be energetically draining. Holding space for deep transformation requires me to stay on top of my own spiritual hygiene and energy boundaries.
Lessons & Wisdom from April
This month has been a mirror — reflecting back the lessons I needed to see, and the truths I can no longer bypass. Here’s what I’m taking forward:
A Jungle Calling…
And speaking of deepening — some of you may have seen that this month I finally booked my flights for something I’ve been called to for a long time… In October, I’ll be heading into the jungle.
It’s time for me to sit with the plants in their home. I’ll be spending a week immersed in a beautiful, traditional community — with the land, the songs, the medicine — fully surrendering to what I’m meant to receive.
After the retreat, I’ll be travelling around Bogotá, exploring other indigenous medicines and learning what I’m being guided to integrate and bring back. This isn’t just about me — this is about deepening my ability to serve you all.
I already know it’s going to change me forever.
What’s Coming in May…
Next month we’re bringing the magic closer to home with our next Day Retreat in Poulton. It’s a powerful day of deep reconnection — and this one is going to be beautiful.
We’ll be journeying with plant medicine, sitting in a sacred Hapé ceremony, and being bathed in healing frequencies during an incredible live sound experience. Whether you’re brand new to this path or already walking it, this is a safe space to release, receive, and reset.
It’s the perfect space to prepare for summer by clearing out what’s heavy and activating what’s meant for you.
Spaces are limited, and this one always fills fast — so if you’re feeling the nudge, trust it.
Here’s to the magic of April — the breakthroughs, the boundaries, the lessons, and the big visions ahead.
Thank you for walking this path with me.
With love,
Sandie
