Trip Sitting
I am not a guide. I will be NEAR you, not WITH you as you journey. My job is simply to be there should you need assistance. This journey is all you!
Post-Trip Debrief
I will sit with you and be there to discuss your experience. If you think you need full integration, I have several integration specialists I can recommend, but I will not influence your experience in any way. Let it emerge organically.
Trip sitting testimonials
“Stuart's help with my first mushroom trip was a gift of love. His book, The Grief Trip, first clarified for me the human kindness he brings to the use of psychedelics and also helped me understand the factors that would influence my experience. Our conversations before the trip, his reassuring presence during it, and our post-trip debrief all made me feel incredibly cared for and comfortable. I'm so lucky to be the recipient of Stuart's support and love.
“When my wife asked me if I wanted to join her in her first experience with mushrooms, I wasn't sure if I was ready. Stuart's role as my wife's trip sitter was absolutely instrumental in both my wife and I feeling comfortable with her taking the trip without me. He made us both feel comfortable with his calm demeanor, his willingness to answer all questions, and his authenticity. On the day, Stuart communicated with me, provided updates along the way, and then let me know when was a good time to come home and be a part of the debriefing. Stuart is the real deal. He cares and he is gentle — he will never push you.
“I am so glad that I had Stuart to guide me through my very first magic mushroom trip. I was a bit apprehensive, but between preparation for the trip and Stuart's steady, gentle manner, my experience was absolutely profound and wonderful. Stuart sent me a spreadsheet about a week in advance so I knew what to expect. Just knowing that Stuart was with me that day made me feel safe and allowed me to be free to explore and thoroughly enjoy my adventure.
