Testimonials

“My experience with Alisa was wonderful from start to finish. I was quite nervous about the idea of doing psilocybin, but knowing she was leading the journey, I felt completely safe and cared for.

Even before the day itself, she shared a thoughtful questionnaire that invited us to reflect and gave her insight into who we are and what we hoped for. From there, she created an experience that felt both personal and intentional.

Even though there were three others journeying with me, I never once felt like I had to do anything at any time. She gave each of us the freedom to fully experience things in our own way while still feeling held within the group.

Even weeks later, I still feel the impact. The clarity, presence, and sense of safety she cultivated have lingered long after the experience itself. It’s rare to feel so held and so free at the same time.”

“Even weeks later, I can still feel the impact of the journey. It gave me a steadier perspective on life and helped me see more clearly what truly matters and what doesn’t. I find myself approaching challenges with more calm and less reactivity, and that has carried into my work, relationships, and parenting. The sense of connection I experienced isn’t always at the forefront, but it is something I can return to when I slow down and create space. It anchors me in a way that feels deeply grounding.”

“I feel like I cleaned out my emotional closet. I cried out everything from the last three years, and it felt as though a pathway had been cleared. I still experience intense emotions, but I feel so much more comfortable allowing them to move through me instead of holding onto them.

One of the most meaningful parts was how comfortable I felt in my body. I was able to let go of my self-consciousness and simply listen to what my body needed.

It felt like a big reset button. I have more space in my mind, less urgency to find the one perfect answer, and a greater willingness to let life unfold. I feel like I am starting fresh again.”

“I came away feeling lighter and happier, and even the people I work with noticed a difference. I am slower to become irritated and more able to let go of what isn’t mine to carry.

Being with the other women felt natural. I didn’t feel apart. I felt like I belonged there.

The whole experience was improbably magical.”

“Magic Nights was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. Alisa, Eriach, and Christina created a space where I felt so safe to surrender to the journey. My husband and I were able to go on this journey together, and it’s now my favorite day we’ve had besides our wedding.

I learned so much about myself throughout this process, and I’m still learning more as the days go on. I’ve learned about the way I attempt to micromanage time, how I think I can plan for every catastrophe, how I process fear, and how I approach duality in life. I’ve also learned that I take life way too seriously and I need to play more and let my inner child free.

Thank you for creating the space where questions I didn’t even know I had were able to surface and be addressed with love and care.”

“The experience helped clear away some of the dread, hopelessness, and self-doubt I had been carrying. It felt like a forest fire moving through accumulated brush: intense and challenging, but also clearing space for renewal.

I came away feeling inspired to create something new in my life and more connected to a sense of purpose.”

“My experience of Magic Nights was hugely positive. This was my first experience with psilocybin, and I felt very safe under Alisa’s guidance. The way the day unfolded felt like the perfect blend of meditative space and gentle group activities.

Now that some time has passed, I can reflect on the impact the experience has had on my daily life. I feel more deeply connected to my own voice. I’m more confident and self-assured. I’m able not only to speak up for my own needs, but also to feel validated in doing so. This is so valuable to me.”

“It has been four months since beginning my journey with the Inner Grove Collective, and only now do I fully understand the peace I had been seeking.

From the beginning, I felt informed, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence. On the day of the journey, I felt an unmistakable sense of safety. The attention to ceremony and ritual was exquisite. Every sensory detail had been lovingly considered, from the natural landscape around us to the carefully chosen playlist that carried us through the experience.

The preparation helped me identify the themes I needed to explore, and because of that, I was able to sink into my own knowing with courage and clarity. Since then, I’ve continued integrating through art therapy and narrative journaling. The experience was so impactful that I shifted the entire focus of my graduate research toward altered-state integration and gained a deeper understanding of my calling.

I attribute this clarity directly to my experience with the Inner Grove Collective. Though I still walk my own grief journey, the experience opened a level of understanding and inner peace I had never accessed before.

What I learned is that one doesn’t need an ending to begin again. My journey with the Inner Grove Collective wasn’t just a beginning. It was a remembering.”
