Meet your Guide
My name is Jeff, and I am a kind-hearted lover of life living in the mountains of Colorado with my incredible dog Nala. I support people who are devoted to cultivating a greater felt-sense of peace and freedom in their lives.
I specialize in the preparation for and integration of transformative experiences with the assistance of psychedelics, namely 5-MeO-DMT and the Sonoran Desert Toad, also known as the "God Molecule" for its capacity to induce a state of non-duality.
This practice of consciousness exploration has been invaluable in my personal journey of self-discovery and has helped me to move beyond the stories of depression and anxiety and fear that once weighed heavy on my heart. When approached with care and intention this work can lead to a whole new way of being in healthy relationship to life, to ourselves and each other.
I am here to be of service to the evolution of consciousness and to build bridges of understanding wherever I can.
Please reach out to me below with any inquiries.
Philosophy
At the heart of my work is love, for everything. Through the lens of non-duality, to truly love any one thing implies loving all things, because all things are ultimately the same thing. The experience of non-duality is ineffable by nature. It is beyond the constructs of language and ego and mind. Yet it can be integrated and embodied in the human experience to a degree that can promote a greater sense of care and compassion and understanding, for ourselves, each other, and for all of life.
This is the great opportunity, to relax into the paradox of everything and nothing, light and dark, good and bad. "I know this is all a beautiful game of illusory separation, and yet I will still play a good game." This is where we build the bridge between our infinite divine Self, and our temporal ego-self. I believe the implications of this way of seeing and being have great potential to foster more harmonious social and ecological systems that are ultimately rooted in a deep respect and reverence for all of life.
Perhaps the antithesis of love is fear, and perhaps they are two sides of the same coin. That's not to say that fear is inherently a bad thing. I believe that all of our feelings and emotions offer us valuable insight and guidance. Fear, for example, is often times a great invitation to lean into thresholds of discomfort so that we may grow and learn to trust and love more freely and openly. Fear, particularly of death, seems to be at the route of much of our suffering. Through the practice of non-dual awareness, we can identify less as a temporary human body that will die, and more as an eternal body of pure consciousness that is experiencing itself through the complexity and beauty of form and duality.
"It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that's where the river will know
it's not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean."
​
- Khalil Gibran
Training ourselves to lean into (and not avoid) thresholds of fear and discomfort takes time, and is a worthy practice if we are looking to live more fully and freely. There are many ways to remember, the trick is to actively practice...to take the time to sit in meditation, or do the breathwork, or set aside time to walk in the forest or sit by the creek, or journal each morning, or whatever it is that helps you to arrive in the present moment, grateful for wherever you may find yourself.
