This is for people who have had some previous experience with plant medicines. We will create a safe container for you to experience the awe plant medicines offer. We hold space, without being dogmatic about how you must participate. We treat you like an adult, let you choose your adventure, and be there for you should you need the hand or shoulder of a sober mind.

Group Nature Hikes

Explore the wilderness, breathe in the fresh air, and connect with other like-minded individuals. Our hikes are a great way to exercise, de-stress, and experience the beauty of Colorado. We tailor our hikes to meet the group's fitness level, so everyone can enjoy the experience, possibly splitting into two groups if the desires of strenuousness vary greatly.
