Is this you?
You’ve done the therapy, the retreats, the breathwork — and you still feel like something deeper is waiting. You’re not broken. You just haven’t found the right door yet.
You’re navigating a major life transition — a relationship ending, a career shift, an empty nest — and you want clarity, not just comfort.
You’re curious about psychedelics but want something legal, safe, and guided by someone who actually knows what they’re doing. Not a ceremony in someone’s lounge room.

Common Questions
Yes. Cannabis psychedelic experiences are fully legal in Australia when conducted with a valid cannabis prescription. Unlike psilocybin or MDMA therapy, cannabis sessions do not require a psychiatrist to supervise. You attend with your own prescription — we guide the experience.
Yes — you’ll need a valid Australian cannabis prescription to attend. If you don’t have one yet, we can help. Our partner clinic, The Happy Clinic, offers telehealth appointments starting at $19. Most people receive their prescription in a single appointment.
Every experience is unique, but most people describe deep introspection, emotional release, heightened awareness, and a sense of clarity they haven’t felt before. Cannabis is the gentlest of the psychedelics — you remain aware and present throughout. Paul guides you with music, sound therapy, and expert facilitation.
Your safety is our highest priority. Paul has 30+ years of cannabis expertise and is trained in trauma-informed facilitation. Sessions are one-on-one or in very small groups. The retreat is a private, controlled environment. You are supported before, during, and after the experience.
A private experience with Paul starts at $980 per person. Duo experiences (two people) are $980 for the first person and $695 for the second. This includes preparation guidance, the full 4-hour guided session, and post-session integration support.
