Earthlings Institute

We believe creating a safe and loving container is the best foundation for the natural unfolding of our inner healing intelligence. We and our helpers create a loving, non-judgmental, and supportive container for whatever needs to arise and be processed in your journey. The smoked form of the medicine gives a short but deep dive, bringing you deep and back within half an hour, whereas the insufflated form is a slower, longer form of the medicine that gives us more time for the inner work. Within the two 5-MeO-DMT medicine circles, we offer therapeutic and supportive physical touch, physical care, live and curated sound, scents, and verbal guidance as needed to help you deepen your experience.

We provide comfortable private or semi-private sleeping arrangements to give you personal space and make wood fire in our indoor fireplaces to create a place for reflection and gathering. In preparation for the medicine, we will gather in circle to share intentions and drop into guided meditation and movement. After each medicine circle, we carve out time for silent reflection and personal integration and hold a group integration circle to give space for processing with others. 

In this 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. We encounter ourselves in a space beyond our stories and identities and tap into the deep well of who we already are. In doing so we answer the question, who am I? Not as a concept, but as a deep knowing. We come back as a more integrated person with the courage to be ourselves with an open heart.

Here are some testimonials some of our former clients have graciously allowed us to share with other considering embarking on this journey with us:

“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.”

- Tom, Ontario, 49

“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.”

 - Josh Magro, Psychotherapist

“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.”
