Awethentic Journeys

Plant-Medicine

Through Sacred Time

Full Moon Journeying with the 4-Elements through the Energetic Tones of the Seasons

Don’t let your life pass you by without pausing to exhale slowly. Let this upcoming year be expansive, conscious, and chosen. This six-month container is both a pause and a play — a dance with the energetic months, with new friends and community, and with your awethentic self. Through connection, plant medicine, ancestral wisdom, and modern healing practices, this journey through sacred time offers a truly unique and transformative experience.

Our Mission is:

  • Healing in a basket of collective care

  • Returning to embodied wholeness and authentic self.

  • Rekindling the sacred connection to Source.

  • Trusting in your inner healing

  • Exploring the depths of your rich inner world.

In this six-month container, we invite you to deepen into community, heal through plant medicine, explore the elements, and grow together in an authentic space where ALL OF YOU is welcome. 

Awethentic Journeys

At Awethentic Roots, we understand that the healing of our outer-world begins with the healing of our inner-world.

Just like a seed must be planted within the earth before it rises and breaks the surface, so too our journey towards wholeness.

We believe that the true medicine is yourself. We utilize inner-directive healing as a core modality of our work. Believing that you are the most important component in your own journey.

What psychedelics do we work with?

In Colorado, Proposition 122 allows for the possession and use of certain plant-based psychedelic medicines.

At Awethentic Roots, our journeys offer either Psychedelic Mushrooms (Psilocybin), or Ketamine.

We only utilize those medicines which are legal in the state of Colorado, recognizing that certain medicines are still illegal on the Federal level.

  • Step 1: Apply with this form

    Step 2: Jenna or Avi will meet with you to determine if the upcoming cohort is a good fit.

    Step 3: You may meet 1:1 with our MD, who will write your prescription.

  • This will be determined by Avi and the MD.

    A Macrodose of Psilocybin will generally be between 2-3.5grams.

    Ketamine distributed orally will be between 150-400grams.

  • We truly believe in the healing power of community. Our group ceremonies are meant to facilitate belonging and connection beyond the group experience. We will journey through the energetic and seasonal tones of sacred time together, moving from reflection/renewal in Elul, through kindling the light of our dreams on the winter solstice of Kislev, to playing with lightness and laughter in the Spring of Adar.

    True healing is amplified in collective care.
