Feedback
"Ciara delivered both talks so well! She held an inclusive container where it seemed all were welcome to bring there enquiries. It was evident how much she cares about her work with psychedelics and this was inspiring without being intimidating to a layman or experienced psychonaut!"
"A well-measured, engaging and insightful talk. In my view, Ciara shows deep spiritual and ecological wisdom of psychedelics and foraging. I learned a lot. Thanks."
"Excellent course, wonderful mix of the practical and the spiritual. Most appreciated, thank you."

Really loved mushroom foraging in the Chiltern, I would recommend this to everyone! It’s very empowering to understand what’s around us and to be caught up in the mystery of nature with other like-minded people! Our guide Nick was absolutely brilliant so friendly and knowledgable. X
