Feet in the warm sand, staring at the stars around a fire, feeling held and at ease by a group of wonderful souls.

Understanding the program in detail:

Preparation

As soon as you apply, Clémentine will be directly in contact with you. You will be able to ask her any questions you may have. She will be sending you a Guest guide to help you with how to get to Awake, what to expect on site and a list of what to bring (which is not much at all) so you feel just as comfortable as home here.

We recommend before arriving to spend time connecting deeply into the “why” you are joining us and already visualizing what would be the best situation for you. Start bringing awareness into the fears and doubts that may naturally arise. All feelings are welcome and you will be able to reach out to Clémentine or Drew if any support is required before your arrival.

Foundation

The first day you will be letting go of the mind chatters and drop into the body.

Connected Circular Breathing Session is a powerful practice to release, let go and detox the body and mind. You will lie down on your back for 45 mins breathing deeply in and out through your mouth. During this session at the very least, you will feel deeply relaxed and nourished as more oxygen is entering your body, you will be aware of the full process and may access deeper parts of yourself through your subconscious. You will be guided by our highly qualified facilitator Clémentine that has combined her medical background with holistic methods. You may get tingling and cramping sensations in your body which we will be helping to relieve with acupressure points. You may access emotional release which is perfect to clear up your energy channels.

Authentic Relating Workshop is a pillar practice of our Dream Camp journey and will help you unlock blockages in sharing yourself vulnerably. Everyone gets to know each other and genuinely connect with one another before the ceremony day.

Psilocybin (Magic) Mushroom Ceremony

The ceremony begins with the setting of individual and group intentions. The full dose of psilocybin served will be up to 4.5 grams in yummy chocolate form. (cacao from Costa Rica)

Participants may work individually with the facilitators to set an ideal dose to begin with based on sensitivity and experience. We create a safe space of cosmic dreaming and creation. 

Our heart garden, river and river shala is our playground with different stations to flow with; one to be in silence connecting to the element of Water, one to paint in nature, one to make music, one to lay back, one to rest in private and one to connect to the element of fire.

Our beautiful Surya Shala serves as a stage for live heart song music by Drew LaPlante and cosy blankets to allow the soft landing of our spaceship.

Integration

A necessary part of this journey. Integration is when you have the time to fully process and embody the insights received. We love to adapt and listen to the group needs and check in daily. Some of the activities we would have prepared include; ecstatic dance, nature adventure, creative workshop, group integration, sound healing and one on ones with practitioners (integration coach, somatic exploration, bodywork, breathwork).

How was Dream Camp?

“The dream camp experience was more than a retreat. Awake felt like home very quickly.”


Myrna - Dec 2022

Still unsure?

Worried about having no experience in any of this? 

No previous experience is required in any of what we are offering. We will make this very accessible for all, you will feel safe and have no pressure to participate.

Worried about not fitting in with the group? 

This is a very common feeling to have. A lot of people feel/ think they are the outliers. We are a very inclusive and relaxed group. We will be checking in daily on your specific needs. On another note you might find it beneficial to be in a group of strangers as no expectations will be put on you and show up as your authentic self.

Worried about your age? 

All our dream camps have included beautiful souls in their 30s, 40s, 50s and even 60s! We absolutely love it, it brings such a family vibe to the group and a lot of wisdom being shared.

Not sure if it’s right for you?

This experience is not for everyone. If you consider yourself a loving, fun and curious person, ready to explore deeper parts of yourself, then it is exactly made for you! Fears and doubts are part of the process.

Also known as magic mushrooms, can alter perception, bring euphoria, access darker emotions, hallucinations and help you access greater consciousness and oneness.
