Being & Becoming

A 7 week immersive series to discover how to live in the fullness of our shared humanity.

Our next journey begins February 6th, 2026, Join us!

Awaken to a Living World

Transformational plant medicines reveal a profound truth: the world around us is alive—dynamic, intelligent, and deeply interconnected. But how do we sustain this awareness beyond the journey? How do we integrate these revelations into daily life? Join us for a seven-week immersive series designed for practitioners, guides, seekers, and beginners alike. This program offers a structured approach to navigating the transformational journey landscape, and life itself, rooted in over 30 years of indigenous wisdom, deep ecology, and spiritual practice.

The 7 Essentials of Being & Becoming 

Forward Facing | Weaving transformational experiences into daily life

Become part of a movement of inspiration, strength and optimism for this moment and for the future, discovering how to live in the fullness of our humanity together.

Expand Consciousness | Awakening a profound sense of connection to the web of life

Discover in community an even deeper sense of belonging to this moment, to this Earth and to your place in it

Integrate | Cultivate therapeutic space for healing 

Learn how to hold space for others’ healing and transformation and how to be held in a container for your own evolution 

Ceremony and Ritual Making | 

Experience a live ritual with your guides, receiving direct transmissions of healing and teachings through sound and focused intention

Sacred Songs & Invocations | Make alliances with nature and the elements 

With the blessing of indigenous and Native communities we share sacred songs and invocations to deepen our connection and  ‘making of relations’ with the more than human world.

Meditate | Learn the art of deep listening

Develop the skills of emptiness and stillness to expand our capacity of listening to the living field of energy around us

Practice Qi Gong | Cultivate subtle sense awareness

Awaken and develop our innate capacities of inner harmony and orientation through practice and observation

Transforming in a living, interactive experience

This is not a traditional course. There are no lectures, rigid structures, or passive learning. We offer a series of Regenerative Learning gatherings and direct transmissions—designed to support your transformations. A space to co-create, inquire, and expand together. - When we bring attention and intention to the energy of the space between us, there is a sustainable communion of gifting and receiving. We’re inviting you to bring your wisdom, curiosity and aliveness to this space. Be in the dance of something new and ancient between us. 

  • Activate, Interact, Integrate – Learn to navigate life and traumatic or transformational experiences with greater awareness, grounding your insights in a state of deep connection rather than separation.

  • Explore the Inner & Outer Landscape – Expand your perception, embrace new perspectives, and uncover hidden aspects of yourself and the space between us.

  • Reclaim Ancestral Healing – Revive and integrate ancient wisdom into modern life, awakening inner capacities and knowledge that may have been long forgotten.

  • Build a Conscious Community – Join a group of like-minded seekers dedicated to creating a more connected, meaningful, and beautiful world.

 

Our goal is to awaken new ways of being, to cultivate deep presence, and to reconnect with the intelligence of the natural world. This is a call to feel fully alive again, to reclaim our relationship with the sacred, and to create a shared path forward.

 

Let’s discover how to live in the fullness of our shared humanity. 

Meet François Demange

François is an internationally known healer and practitioner who has studied Vegetalismo (traditional Amazonian plant medicine) for almost 30 years with the Shipibo and Quechua Lamista people. He’s acknowledged as a medicine-man by many traditional indigenous and Native elders from around the world and has made relations or been adopted by many of these communities.

François has a Masters degree in Anthropology from the University of East London and is a teacher, author and founder of the non-profit Sacred Ways Foundation. He’s been a speaker and advocate for indigenous and traditional medicine ways at medical and psychedelic conferences and has written two books including his autobiography "De l'ombre à la lumière" (from the Shadow to the Light) and Ceremonies, Visions, Healing: The Path of Sacred Plants, both currently available in French. 

 

His mission is to help human beings evolve in our capacity to be in communion with all of Life, to remember that we are all related, and to be an ambassador for traditional and indigenous wisdom traditions in our contemporary times.
