Simplify Your Learning

As psychedelic research continues to blossom, the amount of information available can be overwhelming. It can also be one-dimensional, speaking about psilocybin as a medication or a drug, rather than the truth that magic mushrooms are intelligent plant teachers that we build personal and respectful relationships with.

We have curated a respectful, low-cost masterclass at only $79. It is trauma-informed, grounded in the wisdom of nature, to teach you what you need, and empower you to embark on your own journey.

What our students are saying

STEPHANIE - 45

The microdosing course was absolutely superb; informative, interesting & gave historical context. The workbook gave me confidence. Together with Nadia’s guidance, I’ve never been better equipped to successfully navigate stress and uncertainty that I am experiencing. The situation hasn’t changed, but I have.

ANNE-LACY 41

I was very interested in microdosing but not clear on what that could look like; this course showed me clearly, from practical tips to giving me a more reverent appreciation for what working with sacred plants really means.

ALFONSO, 33

The course was full of great information, resources, and a great journal. I really like Nadia’s soothing voice and clear passion and respect for this plant teacher. It allowed me to build a relationship with mushrooms, not consume them.

ALEGRA, 28

I have such a clearer perception of my own thoughts, body, emotions, and behaviours. Microdosing has been life-changing. As someone with ADHD, I appreciated the short videos that I could watch in my own time.

AMIT, 42

Microdosing helped me make slow and steady progress towards much less rigid thinking, and much easier behavioural change. For me, the free journal was a game-changer for tracking my progress and growing mindfulness.

LUCY, 35

I was a bit scared about microdosing, but the history, deep knowledge and clear guidance helped me feel so comfortable. I began my microdosing 4 months ago and have seen profound changes in mood, anxiety, and self-acceptance.

Community Support

The course is in a community format so under each lesson, you have the opportunity to ask questions from qualified mentors and seek guidance. We will have monthly calls covering integration practices for members of the Befriend community.

The Befriend community contains many mind body practices for ongoing growth, integration, and healing. Our annual membership includes the microdosing masterclass.
