Welcome to us!
Life’s ups and downs can be a right pickle sometimes, to navigate a modern world that’s ready to whisk us up, up and away, when we’re trying to keep our feet on the ground, can be like walking on a tight rope. Its ok, we understand! That’s why we infuse all of our courses with a touch of humour and a good sprinkle of wisdom – because healing always requires a good look in the mirror and usually with a humbling smile!
Join us in a space where your guides come with years of experience and walk the talk, where heartfelt connection meets the light-hearted, and together, we’ll navigate the deltas of existence with warmth, wisdom, and a good dose of the unconventional.
Maq
Maq has always been an outsider to conformity and quite early on in his life, he started to question the meaning of it, from there he started to build a strong insight into psychology alongside societal conformity. A profound time in his 20’s led him to meet one of his greatest teachers, and subsequently, to the miracle of plant medicines.
Maq is a story teller, wisdom keeper and light worker, he has trained in the arts of traditional shamanism over many, many years, and has travelled across the world connecting with indigenous communities and receiving initiations into the world of spirit and plant medicine. Alongside traditional medicines, he also has many years of experience with alternative healing modalities, such as sound therapy, meditation and hypnosis. Maq is passionate about the power of plant medicine and always happy to share wisdom and stories.
“Plant medicines are the understated miracle workers that have always been here. They will heal us mentally, physically and spiritually, they will bring to us to both peace, purpose and bring us the missing pieces of our souls.” – Maq

Shamanic Couples
To find a male shamanic healer is relatively easy, to find a female healer can be much harder, but to find a shamanic couple in harmonious balance is a much harder thing to find indeed. - MK
Harmony & Balance
The balance shamanic couples have in daily life is reflected within ceremony, they are able to complement each other and respect each other’s roles and strengths within ceremony also, therefore there is a sacredness to medicine healing couples and to sit in such a ceremony can lead to a very healing and transformational process.
The woman is the direct representation of nature. She is the guardian of the entrance to mother earth, her greatest strength is her connection to the earth, with the plants and their spirits, the creator of life, and provider of nature. They will listen and resonate with their energy to her will and intention. She is a nourisher of love.
The man is the warrior, the protector, the hunter, he respects the order of things. He provides shelter, security, and harmony, one of his greatest powers is the connection with spirit animals, who he can call upon in ceremony to bring in their particular strength and energy.
When you find a medicine couple leading and directing a ceremony or ritual by working together, it completely changes the energy of the space and everything that’s happening within it, you sit in a safe place with the presence of man (the warrior), in a beautiful place, due to the delicacy of the woman (the guardian) in the decoration, the atmosphere of the enclosure, we can say that we are at home, a place where our mind, body, and spirit relaxes, to start the journey in knowing who we are, where we come from and where we are going.

“I had the biggest heart opening experience with Maq. I can’t put into words what I experienced in my inner journey, except that it was deep and profound and extremely cathartic. It’s truly years of therapy in a day
You will feel absolutely safe and well cared for. Plus they curate the event so beautifully, with amazing, amazing music and fantastic energy. I couldn’t recommend them more and can’t wait for another life-changing experience with them!”
