A private day with the medicine, a gentle group evening, or a weekend away.
Private 1:1 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony
A private ceremony is a full day with the medicine, held just for you, with several weeks of support on either side of it. We go at your pace: starting low, building gradually, and only going deeper if and when it feels right. Nothing happens without your yes. Some people call this a 5-MeO-DMT session; I call it a ceremony because of the care around it. People come to me from across Canada, from Vancouver and Calgary to Toronto, and from the US.
Who it's for
People come to a 1:1 for different reasons. Some have never worked with a psychedelic and want a gentle, careful introduction with one person's full attention. Some have sat with 5-MeO-DMT before, in a group or somewhere else, and want to go deeper in a quieter container. Some are carrying something specific: grief, a long stretch of anxiety or low mood, a pattern they can't think their way out of, or a question about who they are underneath the roles they play. And some simply feel called and can't fully explain why. All of those are good reasons to talk.
It's for you if you're willing to prepare honestly, to tell me about your health and history, and to give yourself time afterwards. It isn't for everyone. Certain medications and conditions rule it out, and sometimes the kindest thing I can say is "not yet." See Safety & Screening for more information.
What the day is like
We meet in a calm, comfortable space in Victoria. There's tea, time to settle, and a last check-in on how you're arriving. We go over the signals we agreed on in preparation, for touch and for communication, and revisit your intention. Then we begin with a small first dose and let it show us what's needed. Between rounds we talk, rest, and decide together whether to go further. If you choose a deep dive, the most intense part lasts ten to twenty minutes. The whole arc, including landing, usually takes four to six hours. I stay beside you throughout, sober and attentive, with music chosen for each phase. We usually finish by sharing some food before you head home.
Why the weeks around it matter
The day itself is short. What makes it safe, and what makes it last, is everything around it: screening that actually screens, preparation that means there are no surprises on the day, and integration that keeps going after you walk out the door. That's why every 1:1 includes all three.
What's included
- A free 20-minute consultation call, so we can both feel into whether this is a good fit
- A thorough intake and screening questionnaire
- A 50-minute preparation call
- Journal prompts written for your intentions
- A 4 to 6 hour ceremony in Victoria, BC, Canada
- Two 50-minute integration calls in the weeks after
- I stay reachable between and beyond those calls
Exchange: $700 to $1,400 on a sliding scale, in CAD for Canadians and USD for Americans. We'll talk about where you sit on the scale during your consultation.
Coming from out of town: many people do, from Vancouver, across Canada and the US. Consultation, screening and integration happen by video, so you'll know whether we're a good fit before you book travel. Clients have enjoyed staying at the historic James Bay Inn and the Fairmont Empress, both nearby. How to get here.
Small groups and outdoor ceremonies: if you'd like a private experience for two or three people, or you're curious about a ceremony outdoors, send me an email.
The Process
Preparation
(2-4 weeks)
Step 1 - Consultation Call: A conversation to feel into whether this is a good fit, in both directions.
Step 2 - Health, History & Intentions Intake: A thorough questionnaire covering your physical health, mental health history, medications and supplements, psychedelic experience, and support systems.
Step 3 - Preparation Call: We go deeper into your intentions, walk through exactly what ceremony day will look like, and address anything that surfaced in your intake. There's also a full guide to preparing for your ceremony, including what to bring.
Step 4 - Personalized Journal Prompts: Based on our conversations, I'll send you journal prompts tailored to your intentions, giving you a way to begin the inner work before you arrive.
Ceremony
(1 day)
Step 1 - Arrival: We settle into a calm, comfortable space in Victoria, BC. Tea, grounding, and a final check-in on how you're arriving.
Step 2 - Opening the Container: We review consent and communication signals, revisit your intention, and open the space in whatever way feels aligned for you.
Step 3 - The Journey: A paced, participant-led exploration of multiple doses, with the option for a deep dive dose if and when it feels right. I hold a safe, grounded presence with thoughtfully curated music throughout. You have agency at every step.
Step 4 - Landing & Nourishment: Spacious time to return, rest, and begin making sense of what arose. We typically conclude by sharing some food before you depart.
Integration
(2-4 weeks)
Step 1 - Immediate Guidance: You depart with tailored integration guidance including how to care for your nervous system and what to expect in the days ahead.
Step 2 - First Integration Call: Typically one week after ceremony. We anchor insights, work with anything still moving through you, and begin translating the experience into practical change.
Step 3 - Second Integration Call: A few weeks later, once the experience has had time to settle. We revisit your intention, notice what has actually shifted, and identify what wants ongoing attention.
Step 4 - Continued Support: I remain reachable between and beyond our calls. If something unexpected surfaces, you won't be navigating it alone.

What people are saying.
“What stood out to me immediately and throughout the most vulnerable parts of my journey was Brendon's ability to be gentle and understanding while being the strong, confident and grounding presence I needed. His intuitive approach to providing support helped me dive and heal deeper than I thought possible coming into the experience. He was open and receptive to my individual requests and made me feel confident in the safety of the medicine and the space. I plan to journey again with Brendon when it calls, this time in the company of a genuine friend.”

Travelling to Victoria
Many people travel here for ceremony from Vancouver, elsewhere in BC, across Canada and the US. Victoria is about 35 minutes from downtown Vancouver by floatplane, or a scenic ferry ride from Tsawwassen. From Seattle, the Victoria Clipper ferry comes straight into the Inner Harbour, and the airport has direct flights from many Canadian cities. Our consultation and screening happen by video, so you'll know whether this is a good fit before you book travel. I'm happy to suggest places to stay nearby, and I recommend giving yourself a quiet evening and a slow next morning. How to get here from your city
