I was very nervous and a bit apprehensive but upon entering the facility I was warmly greeted with hugs, smiles and sincerity from the angels (staff). The wisdom of Ivan and Lana complimented each other beautifully encompassing yin and yang. Every activity served a divine purpose to assist in the healing process : intention setting, discussion, breath work, medicine and integration.We were masterfully guided through the medicine and the angels were there to assist and provide comfort if needed. For me this was a very profound event. I found so much needed clarity and understanding from this ceremony, and became able to self identify myself seperate from my traumas.

Intronaut holds a calm and healing space for our experiences. The process from beginning through integration is a diligent and considered process. My questions were answered thoroughly, which gave me the assurance that this would be a good fit for me. I approach this gift with reverence, not as recreation.

Before I decided to participate in a plant medicine ceremony, I researched the many benefits, and then found Ivan and Lana. I felt fully supported and cared for by Ivan and Lana as well as all of their angels. We started with breathwork. The breathwork was simple yet powerful! After 30 or 40 minutes into the breathwork (I lost track of time), I experienced this "gasping for air" like I was underwater and resurfacing. I can also describe this experience as being birthed from a mother's womb - like I was taking my first breath of life. It was very profound. Another profound experience was during the time when Ivan was playing his multiple musical instruments - the very high vibrational frequency he delivered through his instruments allowed my body to fully feel the vibrations. And when I prompted myself to let go, I dissolved into this nothingness. I was All and Nothing at the same time. Thank you Ivan for your amazing musical talents! Finally, and with the plant medicine, I went deep down into my soul . . . layer after layer after layer, and during this travel, I experienced deep forgiveness for the perpetrators involved in childhood incest. Words cannot describe the experience and the profound healing I had. You must experience it to know what I am talking about, but, of course, everyone has their own personal journeys. Much love to all who supported me and the rest of us during this ceremony. My deepest gratitude to all! 

This last ceremony helped me feel more centered and more able to be myself. Before I felt overwhelmed by the pressures of the outside world and the expectations of others. In my journey I started to learn how to ignore the doubting voice in my head that says "you" and put more trust in the voice that says "I". I'm starting to do things for myself instead of because I thought I was supposed to oo certain things and be a certain kind of person. I am on track to find out who I am. I went into the ceremony feeling like I didn't have a purpose or a passion and Ivan said without hesitation that I do have a passion. I couple of days later I realized what it was and that it was so obvious and non specific that it didn't tie me to any job or activity at all. There was finally that sense of relief that I thought I had forgotten how to feel. Thank you to Ivan, Lana, and all the angels who helped me find it. Now I can move forward.

Returning back from the 2024 retreat, I am at a loss of word to express my feelings/state as they are still quite foreign to me. I feel love and love for others, feel deep gratitude for my life and everyone who played a part in it, feel happy to be alive and genuinely looking forward to the next phase of my life with excitement and joy. 

I have had the privilege of journeying with the Intronaut team on two occasions and have experienced the long-lasting impacts through navigating my life with a greater sense of knowing, authenticity and self-compassion.  They create a safe, unconditionally loving environment that honors the inner wisdom and healing potential of each individual and the group as a collective. Lana and Ivan offer a beautiful blend of spiritual reverence and mentorship, psychological expertise, loving guidance, respect, intuition and humility. The Angels make you feel held, contained and safe to surrender to the teachings and gifts of the plant medicine. Intronaut emphasizes that working with medicine is a journey, and are committed to supporting our ongoing integration as we explore how the learning will inform our choices moving forward.

I really connected and opened my heart, mind, and soul… And it was an experience that I will hold on to. The breathwork to start was amazing, the music, the sounds of each individual, the angels’ touch, being with others, the safety… I just felt the whole experience was amazing. I let go of a lot, and have a new understanding of why I was put here and so much more.

The ceremonies Lana and Ivan hold are indeed very special and a great opportunity to learn what it means to be human. For me, they provided a great opportunity to pour out my heart and grief in community with others. In these ceremonies, I was able to touch on grief that was simply hidden and locked away for years. What makes these ceremonies so special is how Lana and Ivan are able to bring together psychology and spirituality in a way that is understandable and digestible.

Lana and Ivan have the most loving and caring way of teaching. The over-arching message I've received from my journeys with Lana and Ivan and their beautiful team would be something like this:  "Look within. There is nothing wrong with you. There never was.  You are beautiful. You are Divine. You are not only worthy of love, but you are love itself.  You can finally let go of your fear." With this message, change of thinking or spiritual awakening my life circumstances haven't necessarily transformed, but I now move through them with more grace. I see where I have been resisting life and can now let it flow with more ease. I don't have to defend my insecurities, or react instinctively anymore. I feel a lot more emotional freedom. I feel I have choices. I feel empowered. 

There are no words to describe the retreat, to say it was transformative and a return to my true self is even an understatement. The feelings of self love that I now have are immense and transcend language. I connected with the divine mother; she had been with me my entire life. I see how she has kept me safe and continues to be with me. She breathes energy and connection into my soul and I know I am part of something powerful. I was able to release the pain and shame the cells in my body were holding; none of that energy was my own. I journeyed through generations of pain and found clarity and forgiveness towards myself and my mother.

I signed up for Flow thinking all I needed was some help to release some negative emotions I was holding into. What I gained instead was so much more insight and clarity into my life than I could've ever imagined. The medicine and support of the women helped me dive deep into parts of me I needed to discover, and by the end of the weekend I emerged a whole new woman. I cannot express enough gratitude for the experience, the community I found, and for the Intronaut team for providing the opportunity for this to happen.

After the journey, this experience became the North Star guiding me toward where I want to go. Without this Intronaut interstellar journey, I wouldn't have been able to feel love at its deepest, most genuine level. I am so grateful to have met you and to start this healing journey with you.

I will be forever grateful for what this experience has given me. The new ways of thinking about myself; the world around me; a new network of men and women who share my journey of self-discovery; and most of all … an incredible renewed joy for life, that I can now share with my family and friends.

It was a perfect combination of science and mysticism. Lana's 40 years of experience as a clinical psychologist infuses her shamanic wisdom and informs every healing modality we practiced. In our integration sessions, Lana, with her infinite wisdom, validated our experiences while illuminating the path towards our higher selves.

Every step of the retreat had intention and meaning. I've been in talk therapy for most of my life, and this work is like pressing the fast forward button on healing. I left feeling an immense amount of love and peace within myself and a greater appreciation for my family, friends, and career. 

Lana’s knowledge, compassion, and unwavering presence allowed each of us to feel seen, heard, and supported on our unique paths. The experience was marked by moments of profound clarity and revelations about  myself. With each ceremony, I felt layers of old wounds peeling away, making room for growth and self-love. The group dynamic was a powerful catalyst for healing; sharing, listening, and holding space for each other fostered a deep sense of unity. The integration sessions, guided by our incredible facilitator, Lana Rados, provided a bridge between the teachings of the plant medicines and the practical aspects of our everyday lives. She helped us navigate the powerful insights we gained during the ceremonies and showed us how to apply these revelations to our personal growth. 

With the guidance of Dr Lana Rados and her assistants I was prepared and educated.  Through different and varied modalities of talk, question and answer sessions, meditation, movement, breathwork; we were purged of grief, rage, pain, fear,  despair and loss. Things I wasn't even aware I was carrying. It was cathartic and liberating.

Of my journeys under the Sacred Medicine, I will only say; it was and is the most intense, profound, moving, life changing, love affirming, most healing thing I have ever done for myself.

I made peace with myself. With new Understanding and Wisdom of my own lived experiences, I did not have before. I returned lighter and so full of tenderness.

Lana and Ivan were the perfect guides for my first medicine ceremony. The combination of Ivan's non-dualistic teaching and Lana's experience as a seasoned psychotherapist, wrapped in their deep Shamanic essence, all presented as a gift with no ego desire for self-aggrandizement on their part, put me at ease. The structured nature of the retreat, where every ceremony and breath work session includes integration, the loving-kindness and strength of Lana, Ivan and team--created a container in which I felt safe enough to allow the medicine to work. 

After one session, I feel like a new person. I now seek out human interaction, my brain feels much calmer, and I no longer have debilitating and negative racing thoughts. I feel happier than I have been in years, and came away from the experience feeling gratitude and appreciation for myself and my inner strength. Lana, Ivan, and their Intronaut angels are truly a gifted group of healers who have given me my life back. I cannot recommend them enough.

Being human, my after-ceremony life is as human as ever, and there also are islands of absolutely clear groundedness that I only impersonated before.  There will be another ceremony in my future, and I believe I will know when that time comes.  

Lana and Ivan, thank you for helping me find my own voice and path, to clear the clutter and create this experience that enabled me to access what is deeply true for me.  Thank you for creating a special and safe space for us to have this critical conversation with ourselves and each other.

The reverence Ivan holds for the ceremonial process is unmistakable, but what particularly impressed me was his honesty and openness. He guided us through the experience with unwavering authenticity and a commitment to ensuring that we all felt safe, understood, and valued. His transparency not only fostered trust but also provided an environment where profound personal exploration could take place. Ivan's professional yet compassionate approach, coupled with his deep knowledge of the practice, brought forth a transformative experience that I believe was pivotal in my personal growth journey.
