Numinous Ways of Our Practitioners

At the Numinous Ways, we believe that each practitioner has their own unique approach to the numinous. We recognize that there are many different paths to personal growth and transformation, and we value the diversity of perspectives and modalities that our team brings to the table. Each practitioner at the Numinous Ways represents their own unique numinous way, and we encourage our clients to explore and engage with the various modalities that are available to them. We believe that each individual has their own unique journey, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to personal growth and transformation.

I felt secure and supported throughout my psychedelic journey, fostering deep self-reflection and insight.

Rafal, 40

As a first-timer in the world of psychedelics, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. For anyone looking to embark on a spiritual or psychedelic journey, I cannot recommend Numinous Ways enough.

Stuart

I am so grateful to the facilitators for holding the most beautiful space during the retreat, and for creating a truly memorable experience. Their warm, nurturing presence and support for the journeys made the whole group feel welcome and safe. 

Catherine

The facilitators’ guidance during the psychedelic sessions was nothing short of exceptional. They skilfully created a sacred space where I felt completely comfortable and able to explore the depths of my consciousness.

Alex R.

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, supportive and loving environment for what is an extremely profound experience. I will return, and I have recommended it to family and friends!

The facilitators work beautifully well together and expertly with retreat participants. Their warmth and complementarity suffuse reassuringly assured support with gentle vibes of mindful intention.
