Awakening to Life
A comprehensive program designed around the world’s strongest psychedelic: 5-MeO-DMT
—
Awakening to Life blends modern psychology, somatic modalities, and universal spiritual wisdom to deliver a process that creates lasting healing and personal transformation. We offer industry-defining preparation and integration, expert facilitation, and ongoing community support to ensure you’re safe throughout the experience and can make the most of the profound insights and shifts this medicine offers.
We support our guests in reconnecting with their true self. We’ve helped hundreds of people unlock profound healing, deep transformation, and lasting inner freedom — we’d love to support you on your journey.
Release trauma and connect with your heart.
Common reasons people join us:
- Mid-life transitions, rediscovering purpose, finding your “why”
- Enhancing intimacy, relationships, and connection
- Healing deeply held traumas that therapy can’t access
- Connecting with “god”, “source”, or a sense of deep universal consciousness
- Discovering or deepening embodiment
- Finding love for yourself
A Comprehensive Process
Our industry-leading program has been refined over 5+ years and 500+ transformative guest journeys. Our process ensures safety, efficacy, and lasting impact.
Henrietta, 48"I’ve done deep work before, but this experience was incomparable. I felt I had truly invested in myself, and it paid off in ways I couldn’t have imagined."
An elevated guest experience.
Deep transformation often means confronting parts of yourself that are uncomfortable. That doesn’t mean your surroundings should be. We believe that transformation is most accessible when you feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in every possible way.
You will feel yourself relax the moment you step onto the property.
The most comfortable place in the world to do uncomfortable things.
Our ceremony space is minimalist and beautifully curated. Our guest suites are comfortable, cozy and immaculately clean. Our service and hospitality experience is second to none.
We’re nestled in the heart of nature on a small island, yet an easy Uber from an international airport.
Haitham, 42"The setting itself became a part of the journey. From the books on the shelf to the view of nature, everything contributed to an atmosphere of peace and depth."
Every aspect of the Awakening to Life intensive is designed to make you feel safe and at home.
Reset the nervous system.
The Enfold Process is designed to support a powerful nervous system reset.
From the entheogenic medicine we work with, the powerful somatic therapies and exercises, meditations, and trauma-informed coaching you’ll receive while you’re with us. Beyond the process itself, every aspect of this experience is designed to support your healing journey:
- Dopamine Reset — Our intensives are a device-free experience to reset your dopamine system and set new boundaries with technology
- Hot/Cold Contrast Therapy — Enjoy our wood-burning sauna and filtered cold-plunge tub, cooled to 5C to ensure maximum healing benefits
- Caffeine-Free — Part of the intensive preparation process is winding down caffeine use to help calm the nervous system. During the intensive we serve delicious decaf coffee and teas. Many guests never go back.
- Connect with Nature — Big ocean views, minutes walk to the beach and forest trails, and surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific North West.
Privacy within community.
Our group experiences are designed to offer the benefits of community as well as privacy and one-on-one support.
As relational beings, we heal in community. There is something important about going through this experience with others, hearing unique perspectives, and being seen by others.
That said, we believe you are able to go deeper when certain medicine ceremonies are private. The first two ceremonies of the week are in community, while the high-dose 5-MeO-DMT ceremony is private. It will be you with two facilitators, a male/female dyad.

We offer two accommodation options: Shared rooms accommodate two people per room with an ensuite bathroom. Private rooms are for one person and also have an ensuite bathroom. Pricing and booking are available once you’ve signed in to the website. See the FAQ below or Our Home for more details.
Intensive FAQs
Generally speaking, our Intensives are for people who have done a good amount of personal development and discovery work before arriving. This might be self-directed learning, therapy, coaching, workshops and retreats, psychedelic work, meditation, etc.
If you’re considering 5-MeO-DMT, know that it is a very powerful experience. It’s not well suited for folks who are just beginning their self-discovery journey. That said, we work with many guests that have never done large-dose psychedelics before. Through the screening process we can help you determine if this medicine is a good fit for you. See our 5-MeO-DMT section for more details.
We will also screen out folks who have physical conditions that affect heart and lung performance, and folks on certain medications. If you’re on SSRIs, or anti-anxiety medications, that’s not necessarily a problem, however if you’re taking any MAOI’s, this medicine is not a safe choice.
We are also not set up to work with people who are dealing with serious instability in their lives. If you’re having trouble managing the basic functions of your life, we are not a good fit. That said, we work with many people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and many other conditions.
If you’d like to talk to someone, book a Discovery Call. There is never any pressure to book on a discovery call. We always want you to feel ready for this experience and to have all the information you need to make the right decision for you.

5-MeO-DMT is unique from any other psychedelics and one of the most powerful medicines in the world. It is technically legal in Canada, as an unrestricted substance.
5-MeO-DMT has incredible potential for healing and expanding consciousness. It’s also not a great fit if this is your first foray into personal development work. See the “How do I know if Enfold is the right fit?” question for more on this.
