Inward: November 2026 - A Low Dose 5-MeO-DMT Sound Bath

The Offering 🤲🏼

For this unique sound bath, we are offering a low body-centred dose of 5-MeO-DMT.  You'll have the opportunity to surrender into an immersive live soundscape in a safe intentional community container.

This is a great setting to dip your toe in to experience the magic of 5-MeO for the first time, as well as a beautiful refresh for those who have experienced it before. Expect a variety of typical sound bath vibrations: bowls, drum, didge, monochord, shaker, rainstick, tuning forks, koshi chimes.

The experience will be hosted in a beautiful Yurt outside Victoria, BC. Address provided upon registration.

"Brendon and Amy were so nurturing and attentive. Their incredible warmth certainly helped to ease some nerves, while their knowledge and great attention to detail reassured me I was in the right place. The experience itself was beautiful and quite gentle, yet very transformative. I highly recommend anyone that is curious or just wants to dip their toe into the 5-MeO realm, try doing so with these two amazing humans!"

Navigating Your Depth 🌊

The classic smoked 5-MeO-DMT experience has its place, but for this sound bath we are offering snuffed 5-MeO-DMT-HCl via handmade Arbutus wood snuffers. The onset of an intranasal dose is closer to 10 minutes rather than 10 seconds, allowing for a gentler, subtler, more navigable experience.

We structure this ceremony with an initial small dose, followed by two optional booster rounds. You have agency at each step of the journey. Stick to a minimal dose and let the sound wash over you, or safely navigate a little further if you feel called to go deeper. You can expect to be back to baseline within about an hour. All medicine is optional.

About 5-MeO-DMT ✨

5-MeO-DMT, aka the God Molecule, is known to produce a uniquely powerful mystical experience unlike any other psychedelic. Current clinical trials show promising results for conditions including anxiety, depression, addiction, and PTSD.

• Low Doses: You may experience a subtle tingling, or energy flowing throughout the body. Some experience a major release of muscle/joint tension. It can also feel introspective, fostering emotional release or insight without being overwhelming. Some describe this as a ‘soft’ mystical experience, with a sense of unity or spiritual awareness that feels grounding rather than disorienting.
• High Doses: Typically produce a complete dissolution of ego, leading to a profound mystical experience characterized by a sense of unity with the universe or a "whiteout" of perceptual content. Some describe this as dissolving everything except for awareness itself, a glimpse of non-dual consciousness where subject and object are no longer separate. As the ego dissolves, some participants experience an intense somatic release, allowing the body to physically process and discharge stored emotional energy. Many are left feeling reborn.

We will be working with low doses of pure lab tested synthetic 5-MeO rather than Bufo. Bufo is not suitable for snuffing since the toad secretion contains other toxic compounds that are only broken down by heat when smoking.

Safety Considerations ⛑️

Some substances can have dangerous interactions with 5-MeO-DMT. Lithium, 5-HTP, Tramadol, MAOIs (selegiline, phenelzine), the antibiotic linezolid, and harmala (Syrian rue) should all be avoided. Other antidepressants such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or Wellbutrin are not contraindicated for safety, though they may have a moderating impact on your experience.

Additional contraindications include cardiovascular conditions, serious mental health history (psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar, personality disorders), and pregnancy.

Testimonials

"An exceptional and deeply restorative experience. The space was beautiful, warm, and inviting, and the team created a container where I felt completely safe and supported throughout the session. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a intentional, well-facilitated practice. Thank you again 💫😊"

"Brendon and Amy's Inward ceremony at Ravenbrook Yurt was a beautiful, amazing experience. I felt so supported, safe and cared for. In a very gentle and loving way it allowed me to open into deeper love and appreciation for myself and my life experiences. It felt like a beautiful inner hug, that I am still enjoying and processing. I will definitely be attending the next one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️"

"Brendon and Amy created the perfect ceremony for my partner and I to have our first 5-MeO-DMT experience.

Right away, the location is breathtaking! The description really doesn’t capture how beautiful this place is. It felt like a wellness retreat, but also like coming home. It was private and quiet, while allowing for both a connection to nature and a sense of community. Brendon and Amy’s care for one another, their unique practices, and each participant was immediately obvious. Their wisdom, attention to detail, and warm presence allowed us to connect fully to ourselves. The process was intentional and considerate of how each person arrived energetically, with many opportunities for questions and sharing within the circle. The container provided ample time for social connection while emphasizing individual exploration and process. As vegans, we really appreciated the thoughtfulness and compassion with which the medicine was sourced (save the toads).

The medicine journey itself was incredibly gentle for me. As someone with a history of anxiety and high sensitivity to psychedelics, the experience was much more relaxing and therapeutic than I had imagined based on the different DMT stories I had heard previously. I took the full complement of what was offered, which is considered to be at the higher end of a low dose. I feel confident continuing to explore the medicine at progressive doses, but only under the guidance of high-trust, highly skilled people like Brendon and Amy."

"This was my first experience with 5-MeO-DMT, and although I was nervous, Brendon’s energy, presence, and expertise immediately helped me feel at ease. I felt safe knowing he and Amy (co-facilitator) were there to support me throughout.

Everything was created with such care and intention. The beautiful sounds, scents, instruments, and optional touch came together to create an immersive, somatic experience.

I’m very grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Brendon to anyone looking to explore this medicine in a safe, intentional, and supportive environment."
