begin your journey towards inner peace
1:1 Counseling
The truth is: All of us need support on the journey of life. A safe and stable wellspring of nourishment we can go to when we genuinely feel ready to explore our inner landscapes, and courageously step into our fullest potential. Someone who can receive us exactly how and where we are, and intimately listen, reflect, and provide informed guidance when it’s needed most.
As someone who has served as a supportive guide and been present for countless individuals’ most vulnerable moments, I’ve developed a sensitivity and intuitive approach to what a person may need during these times of transformation: A re-connection to their own internal guide and inner-wisdom. The answers, clarity, and peace you seek already reside within you. I am solely here to help you reclaim them.
Our consultations together can manifest as a direct mentorship, psycho-spiritual-emotional support, herbal remedy consultations, educative sessions pertaining to various spiritual teachings, or simply a therapeutic space to allow you to explore what is most alive in you.

Psychedelic preparation & integration
The use of psychoactive plants and fungi as means of cultivating a deeper sense of spiritual, physical, mental, and communal well-being have been implemented by human beings all over this Earth for millennia. Traditionally, these plant teachers have been revered and respected as sacred guides that have the immense potential of allowing us to experience profound healing, awakening, transformation, and a deeper connection with both the divine and ourselves.
With the public’s ever-growing interest and increased access to these ancient plant teachers, and other modern, potent entheogenic substances, it’s important more than ever that individuals seeking communion with these medicines are properly educated, prepared for, and guided through their experiences to ensure maximal safety and lasting benefits that lead to a more fulfilling and healthy life.
As someone who has embarked on a 15+ year disciplined journey of passionately researching, apprenticing with various initiated elders, and sharing about the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of entheogens, I intimately understand the importance of receiving support both before and after such a transformational experience. Each one of my clients receive extensive information and guidance, based on actual real life experience, for how to properly prepare oneself mentally and physically, learn important harm-reduction protocols, the importance of a safe ceremonial container, how to choose a trusted psychedelic facilitator, and most importantly, how to integrate these paradigm-shifting encounters so that you can embody true lasting change.
“It’s often scary to take a deep plunge into our inner world - exciting, enriching, transformative, but also potentially frightening … Andrew's calm and grounded presence, his deep knowledge of the medicine, combined with his wise and reassuring spirit made me feel completely safe and guided as I embarked on my inner journey … I couldn't be more thankful for Andrew to provide the ground for making it possible.”

Private & Group Ceremonial retreats
Ceremony, ritual, and communal forms of healing are central to mankind’s development towards a greater sense of well-being, peace, and unity. Ceremony provides a structured container and safe space for us to meet and explore the depths of our own unconscious freely, and also to commune with the animate and natural world around us.
A ceremonial retreat, whether done privately or within an intimate group setting, provides us with an opportunity to step away from the distractions and busyness of our daily lives. It serves as a space to recalibrate, reorient, and restore ourselves back to our truest essence.
These moments of deep introspection, nourishment, and self-exploration are absolutely necessary for our development and well-being. Peaceful Arrow and our extended communities are proud to share and co-create these powerful containers of transformation and healing together. Please inquire about booking a private or group ceremony, and to learn more about our upcoming offerings.
