I recently had the most powerful, life-altering experience. To say it was transformative is an understatement; experiencing pure consciousness has forever changed me. My lungs expand like never before and the constant tightness in my chest is gone. I feel a fundamental freedom that I have never known. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I am genuinely excited about life and the future.

I cannot say enough about the professionalism and heart-centered guidance of Sagan and Helena. The container they provide is an atmosphere so completely safe that it gave me the absolute freedom needed to let go and surrender fully to the process. Their generosity and the grace with which they received me, exactly as I was, provided the foundation for this monumental shift. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Journeying with Sagan and Helena was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. It was profoundly life-changing to a degree that language fails to describe. I feel alive. My soul has bloomed inside my body. This awakened me to level of existence I previously thought impossible, and I felt welcomed into that life by these two loving humans. I would happily place my heart in their hands again when the journey calls me back.

The most profound experience of my life. It has released a deeply rooted inner conflict that I have struggled with since my childhood and has begun to relieve me from a deep 5 year depression and has completely resolved my lifelong struggle with severe anxiety. I could not have asked for a more caring and supportive couple who looked after me so carefully which allowed me to fully relax and dive into my experience. My journey has changed me so profoundly and I am so eternally grateful I found Sagan and Helena. I would highly recommend … absolutely profound.

There are two passages that come to mind as I reflect on where I’m at. The one is by some famous psychiatrist, who once reminded us that 'man has a soul, and there is treasure buried in the field'. The other writing was found in an ancient cave, apparently written a few thousand years ago, saying that 'if you bring forth what is within you, that which you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, that which is within you will destroy you'. Through serendipity (or rather synchronicity), I crossed paths with the kind folks at Earthlings. H&S have been lending me a hand ‘excavating' this ‘treasure' of my soul. I am painstakingly removing the 'dirt and soil' around this new-found treasure, and are able to let go of the 'bits and pieces of my ego' that are no longer needed... While at times uncomfortable and even painful, I am growing into my real identity in the Beloved. I am in deep gratitude; this is finally my journey 'home'.

Helena and Sagan provide for such a compassionate, supportive, and educated learning and healing experience. Not only that, they bring their full selves and are clearly committed to their clients' care and expectations throughout.

This authenticity, when combined with such attentive care and preparation, lends itself to a session that can be truly transformational.

This is what happened to me. [Read more]

A part of this resulted from my own preparation in the months (and years) leading up to it, that's true. And neither is anything perfect, nor was I "cured."

But regardless, none of this steals how miraculous it feels. And this feeling wasn't possible without their container. The experience helped me to process, release, and ultimately transform a part of myself. It facilitated a transformation of fear and isolation into a desire for connection, and a renewed sense of optimism in being around people. Miraculous.

While I believe, at our core, such an experience is a testament to the human spirit, healing, and yes, the medicine; the reality is it requires a container to match that potential. Helena and Sagan provided this wonderfully, and for that I am filled with the utmost gratitude.

I've been waiting a long time for an opportunity such as this to come along. I've struggled for quite a while and have employed every local option possible to find a good remedy, and to date those options haven't put me in a place that feels better or progressive. For years I've felt an inability to "let go" of day-to-day stresses, and have had great difficulty in allowing myself to enjoy life and love around me.[Read more]

In my research, I learned a lot about the medicine used here and discovered that is a very effective and increasingly popular treatment option for those who struggle with mental health. I reached out to Earthlings, completed the review process and very excitedly traveled to the location for the experience. Though I could write a novel around the experience itself, I simply prefer to express my gratitude and note just how amazing this experience was. To the reader, you may very easily perform your own research regarding 5meo dmt and discover how it works and how others have perceived it to be beneficial. For me, this medicine gave me indescribable insight that I hope will stay with me the rest of my life. It sent me to a place far beyond our daily perceptions, and that is to say the very least. While there, it showed me just how simple life is and can be, and I realized that the burdens I (we) carry around every day are such products of our own minds and hold no proper place in our daily lives.

I needed this so much. God I'm so thankful for this. This medicine allowed me to exist in a space not effected or distorted by ego or preconceptions. During this state, all human rationale is expelled, and as such I was FINALLY was able to do things like forgive myself, release shame, allow myself to be open and vulnerable, and see beyond the walls that my mind has built and fortified over the years. Returning from the trip, I now notice that things that would normally trigger me simply do not effect me anymore. Being angry and reserved all the time eventually seems normal, and so its hard to realize just how much we program those emotions into our daily lives and leave them there. Now, being angry or negative at things seems so incredibly pointless. Prior to the experience, I believe my mind put up walls to protect me from things I struggled with, a safe-guard of sorts. Returning from the experience, the walls no longer exist, or rather they don't seem to serve a purpose anymore.

In all, this has allowed me a TRUE fresh start moving forward. I don't have to keep those walls in place, I don't have to worry about what is to come (because it is unarguably all meant to be), and I don't feel shameful or weak or guilty for allowing myself to be present, vulnerable, mindful, or happy. Thank you Helena and Sagan. Thank you a million times. I once heard about this medicine years ago and became intrigued. From that time until now, it seemed next to impossible to facilitate such an experience here in the states, and so a good friend told me that when I was ready for this trip, it would find me. And a few years later it did, and here we are.

One last thing I have to say to any reader: If you are interested or contemplating this experience, I cannot recommend it enough. Those who seek answers will find them, and this is definitely a place where answers lie. This is not a recreational experience, it is intended for healing, and Helena and Sagan know exactly how to facilitate this. Regardless, I share with you this knowledge imparted on me from the experience: you DESERVE love, happiness and joy. You may not be able to see it right now, but everything holding you back from life is simply a product of how our minds process trauma and protect us from it in the future. But our minds are far from perfect, and as a result sometimes we find ourselves stuck behind walls put in place by our minds in order to protect us. Please accept that you don't need these walls, no matter how important or preserving they seem, and that everything beyond them is GOOD. Continue to seek growth, and I hope you find clarity as I have. Let go, and enjoy.

It was my first time doing any medecine and I am glad I did it with Helena and Sagan. They are caring, knowledgeable, patiente, and available. Their support before, during, and after the journey was priceless. Their space in Gastown is lovely. The ceremony room was perfect, it felt like a safe healing cocoon. I came with a specific goal and I ended up transforming more than I ever expected. I will be forever grateful for that amazing, deep and transformative experience.

My experience with Sagan, Helena and Kafka was the most transformational of my life.

I chose to explore this door after 50 years of trying to free myself from the heavy burden of fear that has clouded my capacity to feel joy, authenticity and my true purpose on this planet. I have struggled to keep pace with the breakneck speed I felt required to maintain while managing work, home and personal time. Healing from stress, anxiety and fear required learning to slow down, be present and understand who I am behind the characters I use to operate in life and with others, in order to be accepted as a responsible member of society. But I was drowning in the pace and couldn’t be reached through the traditional modalities of meditation, sound therapy, massage, yoga and so on. The teacher psychedelics were the only modality that were louder than my fear and I’ve spent over 15 years exploring, researching and finally discovering an environment that was a fit for me.

Many people can technically learn to be sitters and facilitators of these master medicines. But as someone who was so deeply suffocated by the fear of life, I was looking for someone or somewhere I could feel safe as my authentic self and allow my vulnerability to embrace what the medicine had to teach me. Sagan and Helena are wise, deeply empathetic, natural healers. They created a kind, warm, earthy, magical environment for the conscious wisdom of the 5MeO spirit to do its work. I was braver because of them and my results in one day have shifted 50 years of rigid behaviour.

Kafka, their companion, is a cat whose 16 years of wisdom and intelligence may not be visible to all, but one that I felt intensely from the minute I was warmly welcomed into their home. She knows. And this additional layer of healing can be felt at a somatic level.

I am privileged to have shared space with all three.

This is my 1st experience with 5MeO and I know there will be more with these special beings as a new door has now opened for the direction of my life.

Psychedelic medicines stand alone as some of the greatest healers humanity has ever known going back 1000s of years all over this planet; teaching us, guiding us, helping us remember why we’re here and what we’re supposed to be doing. 5MeO DMT is a master teacher that, in the right environment and with wise, responsible guides, can help us see through our personal challenges and limitations that can hold us back as we do our best to survive the limited matrix reality we call life.

I found it a genuinely enlightening experience. It was eye-opening. It was one of the best journeys of self-discovery that I have ever had, capping off more than two decades of meditation and conversation. Helena & Sagan were incredibly helpful, kind, supportive and knowledgeable and the whole process was so much better as a result. I cannot wait for my next retreat with them. :)

Helena and Sagan are wonderful guides. They were accepting, supportive, curious and reflective before, during and after my experience. I very much appreciate their focus and time on explorations prior to the experience since it helped me expand my understanding of my goals. I highly recommend their services! The experience was a very powerful deep dive into my consciousness and understanding of who I truly am. It was one of the most memorable experiences in my life.

Life changing, re-birth, everything applies here. The facilitators Helena, Sagan, and may I add Kafka (The cat), were incredibly compassionate, understanding and open. From the beginning, the knowing was there. The body / mind was exactly where it was suppose to be, and that was in their presence. From the beginning to the end, it was super comforting, safe, and one of the most life changing things ever experienced. If you are being called to this then congratulations. You will have two incredible beings, plus Kafka helping you out.

Working with Sagan and Helena helped me to let go of some deeply unhealthy narratives and self-limiting beliefs. The medicine surfaced profound insights that have given me a different way to see my relationships, career and outlook. Each day, new positive behaviors emerge and I attribute them to my journey and integration work. An unexpected, and welcomed benefit of the medicine was that it opened up my body to release a lot of deeply stored pain. I feel wonderful. Thank you both for facilitating this transformation.

Sagan and Helena are skilled therapists, even without the 5-MEO. They are always learning and improving their process. I was really happy how they helped me prepare for the session and guide me through it. Their gentle, supportive natures helped me relax, surrender and share my most personal feelings. There were some challenging parts of my experience and their support and experience helped get me through. I released some bad feelings that I didn't know I was holding inside and I had quite a positive change in my life. This experience changed how I view the world and life and is the most powerful therapy I know of. The experience was too big to fit in my human brain but bits and pieces of it stick with me. I will go to Helena and Sagan without hesitation when I'm ready for another guided journey.

Absolutely incredible, I could not have asked for a more supportive couple who held loving space and looked after me so attentively which allowed me to sink soul deep into the experience. The most profound experience of my life, it has changed me in ways I could never imagine and after a deep 20 year struggle with depression, anxiety and addiction I finally feel like I am a FREE man who is on his divine mission. I am so incredibly grateful I found Sagan and Helena. My highest recommendation.

"Sagan & Helena are the most gentle human beings I have come across on my journey. The way they both hold space was so comforting, there was not a time that I felt judged, I always felt seen and heard, I felt free to be me. Everything that is done is done with such care and love. Helena & Sagan are both so welcoming, along with their cat. Their home is very comforting as well. The way they work with the medicine is really refreshing and beautiful, I would love to journey with both Helena & Sagan again. Their passion for this work shines through. I was able to work through a lot of what was holding me back in life, before ceremony, during ceremony and after. On first meeting Helena & Sagan is when I feel everything in my life began to shift. Thank you Helena & Sagan for the love, support and unforgetable healing.

Helena and Sagan are two beautiful souls, I'm so grateful to had the chance to meet them and have them facilitate my 5-MeO-DMT experience. They've been extremely knowledgeable, open and welcoming during all phases and the whole process felt so smooth and natural. I feel they greatly enhanced my journey and significantly helped with grounding and integration, forever thankful.

I feel really honoured to have been able to journey with you both! You are both such lovely open people and that really helped make the experience just what I needed. I didn't feel rushed or anything which really helped give me space to process, the meal at the end was so nice and I felt that everything was really planned out in a thoughtful way. Also the option of 'going back' to one of the doses was helpful to know so the journey really felt complete.
