Guidance & Support

How can we help?

We provide confidential support and guidance to anyone using psychedelics. We are not therapists and this is not therapy.

However, if you need:

  • Support and guidance with microdosing psychedelics

  • Support and guidance preparing for or integrating a psychedelic experience

  • Support and guidance navigating a spiritual emergency occasioned by psychedelics

  • Answers about psychedelic science, law, traditional or shamanic use, clinics, retreats, therapists, guides, etc

  • Assistance vetting or choosing a psychedelic retreat, clinic, guide, therapist, shaman, substance…

Our approach to supporting and guiding you is rooted in our philosophy, and an understanding that healing and growth with psychedelics is a multidimensional process that ripples into our respective communities. Although psychedelic integration can be guided, we trust that the process is led first and foremost by you. We encourage self-responsibility and honour sovereignty while sharing from our experience and wisdom. We do not impose our personal beliefs and worldviews onto you, and instead, focus on facilitating your process of self-discovery, personal and spiritual growth, and healing through intentional inquiry.

Keep in mind, we are not therapists and this is not therapy.

  • Louis helped me through a spiritual crisis caused by psychedelics. Lou's support and guidance towards integration of the experience was very practical and effective in helping me come back to myself.

  • Working with the Psygaia team was awesome. I love how the approach is rooted in nature, or what they call ecophilosophy. It feels so, natural. I'll definitely be back.

  • Louis naturally breathes and embodies a presence of deep peace. The breathwork sessions we did together were life changing. A combination of a crystal clear intuition and skillful guidance made me feel safe and held, allowing for a frozen part of me, stuck and hidden in time to open and melt with great lightness and ease. Highly recommended.

Louis Belleau

Louis has been using psychedelics for self-discovery, personal and spiritual growth and healing since he was 17. His early experiences with psychedelics led him to study and practice Buddhism and yoga, which then helped him overcome ADHD, drug abuse and suicidal ideation. Soon after, Louis attended McGill University where he studied Psychology, Philosophy and Comparative Religion, graduating with a BA. Louis currently teaches yoga, meditation and breathwork, facilitates psychedelic journeys for spiritual discovery and personal transformation, and is building Psygaia and Nectara. Louis is also studying psychedelics at the University of Ottawa while learning from mentors and elders in British Columbia, Canada. Relatedly, Louis is writing a hypothesis which suggests human relations to psychedelic-containing organisms provides ecological and evolutionary advantages by contributing to the maintenance of perceptions and behaviours that are harmonious with the planetary system. Louis is a certified yoga and conscious connected breathwork instructor, has worked in drug rehabilitation for 2 years, and is devoted to helping people find greater health and wellbeing through simple and natural means, including mindfulness meditation, conscious connected breathwork, intentional use of psychedelics and healthy habits.
