β€œDo you know what it feels like to have a headache every day for nearly 3 years β€” then not have a headache? I do. I'm reborn. … A shoulder that sustained a traumatic injury nine years ago had given me headaches for at least three of them. A neurovascular doctor suggested removing my first rib to deal with the pinched nerve and blood flow. I said no. … I stumbled onto a space on X, asked for help publicly, and Soorena messaged me and got on a few calls. What we did was connect breathing slowly and breathing through the range of motion of my shoulder β€” the pain was the way through. I'd been avoiding it, and I think my body had too. … Today I'm almost headache-free. The nerve pain up into my head has cleared for the most part. I'm really thankful for Soorena.”

β€œSoorena is the best guide to have during a trip experience. He is patient and calm. And he meets you right where you are doing the process and makes it safe. His post-trip guidance and our discussions were also very helpful for me.”

β€œWhen I started the program I had huge issues with being too low on energy. After 2 sessions I already had a big breakthrough, experiencing soo much energy during the day, better sleep at night. Even now more than one year later I still enjoy the benefits. Highly recommend!”

β€œIt has been 3883 days since I took my first benzodiazepine and 333 days since I began this Quest. And today, I stand here free. … Soorena, your boundless energy, unconditional love, and steadfast presence have been the foundation of this transformation. When I faltered, you held me up. None of this would have been possible without you. … This victory belongs to both of us. … Mission Impossible: Accomplished.”

β€œBefore our sessions I had big issues with pleasing people and not being my True self. Now … at a scale of 10 in the beginning, now it is like a 3. I recognize it when its there, and I know how to handle it. Now I have much more energy because I'm not draining myself anymore. … And surplus I have a good friend now.”

β€œYou provided a space for me to just be tired β€” and in this world today, with so much going on, that's really hard to find. You held space for me to heal, to let go, and to just be. … The whole experience, from start to end, I just felt really held. The music, the way everything was curated β€” even the food β€” it felt like healing was at the center of every detail. … I feel so much lighter and clearer about how I'm going to move forward. It was a chance to truly recalibrate. … I felt deeply connected with myself, and with so many things in the world and in the universe. It was sacred to me.”

β€œThe right care at the right moment. I could look at it as a brain spa, just a day dedicated to yourself, and it felt like a big luxury to have a day dedicated to myself and my development and learning. Soorena was there asking really genuine and to the point questions, mirroring a lot of things to me, helping me feel through what I needed to feel through, and I could make a huge shift in my mind. … He was really there with me in my emotions and validated me along the way and made me feel stronger. I'm proud of myself for taking these steps and transforming.”

In Their Words

What People Say

Book a Call

The Idea

A living network of people.

Each person a node. Each relationship a living bridge. Not a directory, not an audience β€” a tribe, hand-grown, one soul at a time.

The Way In

One interview. One agreement.

You enter through a conversation. And you agree to a single thing: if conflict ever arises, we meet it together β€” with care. That is what makes it safe to go all the way in.

The Foundation

Practical Love

A living library at the center of it all β€” the simple, universal ground we return to, and the growing body of what we explore together. Begin with Book One: God.

One focused session

Consultation

Bring the thing you’re wrestling with. Arrive stuck; leave with it moving.

A spa day for your brain

Retreat

A guided psilocybin journey β€” relax, and see clearly from your core out.

Your soul’s calling

Academy

Discover who you’re really here to become β€” and what you’re here to build.
