God Molecule 5-MeO-DMT Sound Bath
5-MeO-DMT facilitators Helena Zhu and Sagan Bolliger will guide you through a gentle introduction to 5-MeO-DMT, a psychedelic fondly known as the God Molecule. We will open with an overview of 5-MeO-DMT and invite you to make an informed choice on whether to take 5-MeO-DMT that feels right for you.
We will be serving what we call a meditative dose of the medicine. This is a low, gentle, and non-ego-dissolving dose of the medicine that helps us bring us into contact with our emotions, our body, our heart, and our spirit, while retaining our sense of personal agency and our ability to navigate how deep we wish to travel. Rather than forcing ourselves open with a high dose of the medicine, the meditative dose invites us to an attitude of allowance and openness, bringing our sense of curiosity to how far we can let ourselves travel on only a small amount of medicine.
We will launch into the medicine within a sound bath, connecting to powerful instruments that resonate with our body and touch our spirit. We will serve the medicine to each participant who wishes to smoke it, offer supportive touch with consent, and welcome all expressions of ourselves.
Is the sound bath right for me?
We created the God Molecule 5-MeO-DMT Sound Bath to be a safe and accessible context for those new to the medicine to dip their toes into the waters of 5-MeO-DMT. It is an opportunity to experience the beauty and magic of this medicine without committing to diving into the deep end of the full-dose experience.
We also created the sound bath to be a place for integration for those who have experienced higher doses of the medicine and are looking for a setting to revisit and reignite those deep explorations.
Whatever your background and experience, this is also a place to be in community with others on the medicine path, to benefit from the collective group energy, and to form new heart-centred connections with each other.
The Facilitators
Psychedelic facilitators Sagan Bolliger and Helena Zhu are passionate about being in service in helping fellow human beings as they take the journey back to their hearts. They facilitate transformative 5-MeO-DMT individual, couple, and weekend group retreat experiences, a work they approach from a place of presence, compassion, acceptance, and love. They believe that creating a safe and loving container is the best foundation for the natural unfolding of our inner healing intelligence. They also host integration circles, facilitator circles, and community sound baths such as this one, and are developing a vision for a village that is global in scope and indigenous to our land, heart, being, and shared humanity.
They received training from Toad School for 5-MeO-DMT facilitation, Phoenix Academy Psychedelic Therapy training, and Vancouver Crisis Centre for crisis intervention and suicide prevention. Sagan is a Community Leader within The Flying Sage psychedelic community, and Helena co-leads Vancouver Women in Psychedelics initiatives. Sagan has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Philosophy and Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence, both from the University of Toronto. Helena is a social scientist at heart, with Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Economics and Master’s in Economics from the University of British Columbia.
The Medicine
5-MeO-DMT is a powerful legal psychedelic that brings us into contact with our core essential self. In the journey to ourselves, we are invited to be with all the parts of ourselves that we have exiled, feeling the emotions that we have not given ourselves permission to feel. Joy, fear, ecstasy, heartache, anger–all emotions are welcome, often passing as quickly as they arise as the medicine moves through us.
