Our Services

Numinous Ways is dedicated to supporting you on your journey, whether it’s overcoming challenges, deepening your practice, or exploring new aspects of yourself. We believe in your potential to experience the numinous and are committed to helping you live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

What is the Numinous Way of Life?

The numinous way is a mindset that recognizes the inherent mystery, awe, and wonder of life, and seeks to explore and appreciate the deeper dimensions of reality beyond what is observable or measurable. Through numinous practices, such as psychedelic experiences, mindfulness or other contemplative practices, bodywork, breathwork, creative expression, individuals can develop a greater sense of connection to the natural world and a deeper appreciation for its beauty and complexity.

FOUR PILLARS OF THE NUMINOUS WAY
psychedelic retreats

Meaningful Life

At its core, life is about fulfilment, meaning, and purpose. It’s about discovering our passions, pursuing our interests, and finding our unique path in the world. It’s about embracing the joys and challenges that come our way and learning from them to grow and evolve as individuals.

Awe and the Sublime

In a world characterised by routine and familiarity, awe reminds us of the boundless wonders and possibilities that exist beyond our everyday perceptions. It invites us to approach life with a sense of wonder, curiosity, and reverence, and to embrace the awe-inspiring beauty and mystery that surrounds us.

Health

Health is a fundamental aspect of human well-being, encompassing not only our physical state, but also our mental, emotional, and spiritual states. It is the foundation upon which we build our lives and pursue our dreams, and it plays a crucial role in our ability to thrive and flourish.

Embracing Mortality

Death is a profound transition, marking the end of life as we know it and ushering us into the unknown. It is a moment of profound mystery and awe, as it represents the ultimate frontier of human understanding. It can be a time of reflection, introspection, and contemplation about the meaning and purpose of life, our beliefs, our relationships, and our legacy.

These remarkable results obtained from the MEQ-30 assessments indicate that an overwhelming 84% of participants reported having mystical experiences during our retreats.

DISCLAIMER

While our team consists of mental health professionals, it is crucial to note that during our retreats, we function solely as facilitators, not therapists. We provide guidance, support, and a safe environment for psychedelic experiences, but our role is not to provide therapy or diagnose mental health conditions. Participants are encouraged to seek professional therapy or counselling if they require therapeutic support. We can provide this pre and post retreat through our specialist psychotherapeutic services, or you may choose to acquire your own mental health services. We also cannot guarantee breakthrough experiences or permanent fundamental life changes, as every individual's journey is unique. Further research into psychedelics is necessary to fully understand their effects. For full disclaimer and outlines of responsibility, please click below.
