Private Session

Blending clinical and nature-based modalities in a safe and supportive setting

The Process

  • Preparation

    After completing a thorough intake process, we begin our preparation phase. Here we take the time to build trust and work together to co-create and articulate intentions that you would like to bring into your journey. We introduce modalities like breathwork and cold exposure which can help support your nervous system leading up to your journey day.

    (1-2 weeks)

  • Journey

    Lift off. This day is dedicated to your ceremony. Most journeys last between 4-8 hours but this can vary depending on the medicine you decide to work with. We set aside the entire day for you to ensure that whatever unfolds is held. We offer a unique blend of both inward directed journeying and nature-based therapies to support you in making the most of your experience.

    (1 day)

  • Integration

    The most important aspect of any psychedelic experience is the integration that comes after. During this phase, we take the time to anchor insights and sensations that came up during your journey and weave them into your everyday life. The ceremony does not end when the journey ends. Integration is what counts.

    (1-2 weeks)

  • Community

    Effective integration requires community. We are proud to be partnered with one of the worlds largest and most diverse psychedelic communities to provide ongoing support. All Legacy Journey clients receive a free membership with The Flying Sage which unlocks professional support, courses and access to virtual and in-person events.

Testimonials

  • ★★★★★

    “This team of facilitators are guides of the highest calibre. They created a safe and sacred space in a beautiful environment. I wasn't sure what to expect but they guided us every step of the way with clarity, compassion and complete professionalism. Every person on this earth carries trauma of some kind and there is a way forward. As humans we have so much more available to us to help us learn, grow and heal and we are not even aware of how to tap into this to help each other. I am grateful and aware of how privileged I was to take this journey and experience a step towards healing myself. Their message of intention and integration is what really makes the difference coupled with a safe container. I know I can heal and I will do the work, my only sadness is that not everyone can experience this and know what it is like to shift from feeling hopeless to feeling hopeful, full of possibility and true freedom.” - JJ

    "Michael is very knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to get to know me, my interests, and my goals before my journey. I felt completely prepared beforehand. During my journey, I felt safe, comfortable, and at ease. The environment was perfect for me, and my guides were so great, I felt like I could be open about how I felt and I knew they were both actively listening to my needs. The playlist was exceptional. This was a once in a life time experience and I am grateful to have had Michael and my other guide there with me. I highly suggest this for anyone who is considering." - JM

  • ★★★★★

    "... I am also very happy and grateful for how they helped integrate and keep to do so after the experience which is just as important if not more. I am forever grateful to them. It has helped me transcend myself in many ways. And I deeply and firmly believe in the medicinal power of this substance that I have now had the fortune to experience first hand." - GL

  • ★★★★★

    “I entered the ceremony with the intention to surrender control. During the ceremony, I had a beautiful, euphoric and heart opening experience where I was held so gently by the facilitators, and the beautiful space we were in. Some challenging things came up throughout the experience and Gabrielle and Mehran were right there to provide me with what I needed in the moment and to remind me that everything I need is also within me. Following the ceremony, they provided a comfortable transition where I could take all the time I needed to orient myself back to my surroundings.  The setting is peaceful and tranquil, allowing for a truly undisrupted experience. The home cooked meals were thoughtful and delicious, and the ocean dip and sauna were refreshing and nourishing.“ - KV

    "... Overall, life changing. Its been a few days and now I can meditate indefinitely, I've stopped fidgeting constantly, I eat more mindfully and snack less, I'm WAY more present and feel much much more grounded. I highly recommend talking to Michael and seeing what makes sense for you!" - LBC

  • ★★★★★

    "The experience for me was about experiencing sublime pleasure and pure love. It was like waking up from the perfect dream. My guide, Michael Oliver was a perfect guide and space holder: he listened deeply, giving me lots of space to just be, while being entirely present to my potential needs. I was in deep awe and appreciation of the ego-less way in which he delivered the experience, which was one in which there was lots of autonomy for me to continue to determine for myself if there's value it, along every step of the way from handshake, to hug, to the full ride." - AL

  • ★★★★★

    "The journey wasn't easy - it consisted of maybe 60% crying and being sad about life. Some truths were hard to take. But the last half year following the trip, life has been improved. I'm more chill about things, I make others laugh more, I don't get caught up in inconsequential things as much, I focus on core values and savour life. Even my relationship with my boss is better. Michael was the perfect sitter. I don't think I could have asked for anyone better. He was so accepting, empathetic, trust inspiring, and said all the right things when I needed to hear them. He helped me get the most out of the journey. Would 1000% recommend him to anyone." - JS

  • ★★★★★

    "I mentioned to them that my style is usually very introspective and they did a great job at understanding that. They also were really good at checking in with me and finding out what my boundaries were so that their presence would interfere as least as possible with the experience and I think they excelled at this. I am also very happy and grateful for how they helped integrate after the experience which is just as important if not more. I am forever grateful to them. It has helped me transcend myself in many ways." - AL

  • ★★★★★

    "My journey was a cosmic clash of who I think I am vs who I am. I went through a wide variety of emotions from crying and feeling deep sorrow to uncontrollable laughter. It was a cleanse and frequency sweep I didn't know I needed. Coming out of this intense dance has left me activated and motivated to make conscious changes in my life. Im excited to see what else comes of my journey and how my friends, who had I had this experience with, use what they learned." -EP

  • ★★★★★

    “This was the deepest experience of my personal life. With more than a week past the journey, I still struggle to find the words to properly articulate the depth and impact of the experience on my inner life. The ripples of the impact continue to reverberate through my being. This is from a person who studied the scientific foundation of conscious awareness for most of his adult life, spent over 15 years in parallel in the study and practice of Sufism, and a good deal of his youth studying and practicing the buddhist tradition.” -SZ

  • ★★★★★

    “It has been three months since my retreat, and the impact on my life has been profound. I experienced some significant shifts early on where my coping mechanisms were challenged, and I was given the opportunity to react differently and realize better outcomes. My body speaks to me in a way I now understand and this allows me to recognize when a pattern or habit is not serving me. Some other shifts have been more gradual. I am learning that my heart can remain open through fear and uncertainty, and that vulnerability does not necessarily equal danger. I'm able to hold space for loved ones in a way that was not accessible to me previously. Mind blowing synchronicities are becoming clear to me and, now more than ever, I feel like I am right where I am supposed to be.” - KV

  • ★★★★★

    “Reflecting on my journey, attending the retreat has been nothing short of extraordinary and I'm profoundly grateful for every moment. The synchronicity of social media, algorithms, and cosmic forces guiding me to this life-altering experience not once, but twice, is truly remarkable. The depth of purification and personal growth I've undergone is beyond words. Yet, what truly made this journey exceptional were the remarkable souls like Mehran, Gabrielle and Michael who walked alongside me. Their unwavering support and presence magnified the healing and transformation, etching unforgettable memories. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking profound healing and personal growth to embark on this journey." - LE

  • ★★★★★

    “I cannot speak more highly of the work that Michael does. He is welcoming, supportive, a natural at what he does, while maintaining professionalism. It takes a lot for someone to be able to facilitate these kinds of experiences for others and to take responsibility for someone. Legacy Journey provides the most natural, safe, and supportive set and setting for those who are seeking a journey to be a better "me." My experience with Michael was a journey I will never forget. It changed my life forever and for the better.” - SU

  • ★★★★★

    “Thank you Legacy Journeys for one of the most beautiful and transformative experiences of my life. The medicine and other activities during the retreat were very powerful. Even more powerful were the hearts and deep compassion of the guides in how they held sacred space for me to navigate the journey from an emotionally very safe place. Lots of love and gratitude to all of you.” - MM

  • ★★★★★

    “Michael provides an experience that is professional, comfortable and safe feeling. I felt cared for and completely free to explore where my journey took me. His influence was a significant factor in the post journey integration of my insights. I would recommend him fully.” -JS

FAQ

  • In most cases, we host our individual ceremonies in a private home in Kitsilano. In some cases however, we do offer ceremonies at the homes of our clients and in other cities such as Squamish, Whistler, Victoria and other parts of Vancouver Island.

  • Integration is the process of weaving the insights gained from a psychedelic experience into one’s day to day life. It is a crucial aspect to any work with psychedelic medicines and it is something that we focus from start to finish. We believe integration starts during the preparation phase and continues long after the ceremony itself is complete.

  • We are flexible with scheduling individual sessions. Typically we start with scheduling the ceremony day and then work backwards from there to schedule preparation and integration sessions.

    Given that our retreats are typically scheduled on weekends, we usually have more flexibility for weekday journeys when it comes to private sessions.

  • For individual experiences, we ask every client to fill out our intake form first which can be found here.

    After our team has had the chance to review your intake form and determined that our offerings will be a good fit for you, we will then send over our waiver and steps on how to reserve your date with a deposit.

  • Yes. We try to offer a scholarship every quarter. We use a self-selecting sliding scale model where we invite participants to pay based on their unique income level and life situation.
