How Much Does a 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony Cost?
It's one of the first things people ask, and it deserves a straight answer. Here's what a private 5-MeO-DMT ceremony (or session, as some people call it) costs with me, along with my other offerings, what's included, and why, so you can compare clearly with anything else you're considering.
The short answer
| Exchange | What it is | |
|---|---|---|
| Free consultation | $0 | A 20-minute video call to see whether we're a good fit |
| Inward sound bath | $121 to $155 CAD | A 3-hour, low-dose group sound bath near Victoria |
| Private 1:1 ceremony | $700 to $1,400, sliding scale | Screening, preparation, a 4 to 6 hour ceremony, and integration |
| Self Contact Retreat | From $2,200 CAD | A weekend group retreat near Vancouver, through Earthlings Institute |
Private ceremonies are priced in CAD for Canadians and USD for Americans.
What a private ceremony includes
A 1:1 ceremony isn't just the day itself. It's several weeks of support, before and after:
- A thorough intake and screening questionnaire covering your health, medications and history
- A 50-minute preparation call
- Personalized journal prompts
- A 4 to 6 hour ceremony in Victoria, BC, with several doses at your pace, and the option of a deep dive if and when it feels right
- Two 50-minute integration calls in the weeks after
- Support between and beyond our calls if something comes up
All told, that's around seven to nine hours of time together, plus the preparation and availability around it. More on the preparation, ceremony and integration process.
Why a sliding scale
I'd rather cost not be the thing that decides whether someone can do this work safely. The sliding scale lets people with more means support those with less. We can talk about where you sit on it during your consultation, with no awkwardness.
How the options compare
- Inward is the gentlest and most affordable way to meet the medicine: a low dose, in a group, with live sound. Many people start here. About Inward
- A private ceremony gives you full attention, the option of a deeper dose, and the whole preparation and integration arc. About private ceremonies
- Group retreats add a weekend away, shared meals and community. Multi-day retreats commonly start around $2,000, and private retreats can cost $5,000 or more.
What's not included
Travel and accommodation, if you're coming from out of town. Victoria is an easy trip from Vancouver, Calgary, Seattle and beyond. See Travelling to Victoria for how to get here and where to stay.
A word on cheaper options
You may find 5-MeO-DMT offered for much less, sometimes with little or no screening, or with toad secretion of unknown strength. The medicine is powerful and not safe for everyone, so screening, a sober and experienced sitter, and real integration support matter far more than price. If you're comparing facilitators, How to Choose a Facilitator has the questions worth asking, and Safety & Screening explains how I work.
Start with a free conversation
The consultation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It's a chance to ask questions, talk about where you'd sit on the scale, and see whether working together feels right. Prefer to write first? Send me a message.
