Here are some personal reflections from guests that have attended our past 3-day ceremonial immersions:
"My experience with Etheric and the plant sacraments he offers has been a divine universal gift for me. The Heart of the Forest allowed me to connect to nature and the energy of all that is in the most magical, playful, profound way. Etheric honors and respects the energy and nature of this work, while bringing in alchemy and protection for these immersions. I feel so honored that the medicines have called to me and Etheric has embodied his shamanism to hold the space. It’s creating profound rippling, healing for humanity that I am privileged enough to experience. I am so thankful for the community I sit with. Thank you to each soul I’ve got to dance, laugh, sing, and cry with that surround Etheric.
Thank you Etheric, I love you."

"In September, I attended a magical healing experience at Heart of the Forest. I had spent much of the summer in a dumpster fire of my own creation. I felt lost, overwhelmed, in so many ways at my end. I wasn’t sure what compelled me so strongly to say yes to this opportunity but spirit didn’t ask - spirit shook me and I was a yes immediately. Without going into many of the details that I hold sacred, the way I would hold a newborn infant, I can say this…
The container that I was gifted to swim in was so magically and skillfully held, it allowed me to give myself permission to dive all the way in. I swam in the toxicity of my stories and alongside the masterful lead of these beautiful medicine people, I was able to purge that toxicity and offer it up to the earth for transformation. I was able to set those stories to a peaceful rest and I was held in the most beautiful, powerful and compassionate way I can remember in this type of space. I am changed. At a cellular level - at a soul level - at a quantum level, this magical place and people acted as doulas to my rebirthing. I am beyond grateful….I am reborn."

"I've only worked with Etheric on two occasions but both times I was greatly impressed with his presence and leadership in the ceremony space. This was particularly true the second ceremony I attended with Etheric, which he organized and ran. During the 3 day period, one of the attendees challenged the boundaries and safety of the group. Etheric made the best kind of example of the situation. In a non-punative and compassionate manner, Etheric used the opportunity to raise the consciousness of all present about the importance of boundaries and safety protocol being supported by the group. Beyond this, Etheric made the event integrate into the journey of the weekend in a way that facilitated a deepening of my personal experience greatly. Others echoed this. His approach was responsible, caring, committed to the practice and benefited the group greatly.
Etheric's approach draws from different lineages. Some understandably abstain from anything of the sort but in Etheric's case, they would be missing out. At the time of the Eagle/Condor prophecy advancing toward fruition, Etheric's integration of different lineages and what he offers is spot on. I'm a person who has experienced several different healing circles and I would testify to the high integrity and truth of the wisdom Etheric carries. Reaching this place requires a personal integrity along the journey and offers something novel and important to those who participate with him. He remains in integrity to Great Spirit and is an asset to the community at large."

"My experience with Heart of the Forest was deeply profound. It was there that I took the steps to begin to love myself. It was there that I finally saw myself for who I am. Etheric and his team are so loving, comforting, compassionate and intuitive. Each has something special to offer the experience, and each will touch your heart. I feel so fortunate to have been able to be a part of such an amazing healing experience. I look forward to my next HOTF experience. Thank you Etheric. Thank you for helping me change my life. Thank you for empowering me. Thank you for loving me. I truly love you!"

"I’ve had the honor to sit with Etheric at the Heart of the Forest and reconnect. The experience has been profound. When I sit with plant sacraments, my connection with Pachamama seems to deepen. I’m grateful for this deep healing work. Etheric has such a way of holding space for those sitting. I trust him and the work he does. Thank you Etheric. I’m grateful for you. So much love, E."

"Life is full of magical adventures, and the experiences with Etheric sit in the most profound of my entire life. Somehow the immersion seems to have been a catalyst in between who I was stuck being, and the powerful, self-expressed, full version of myself I could only get glimpses of in dreams. The real magic was Etheric’s ability to be with what I saw as the most deplorable parts of myself without judgement. The gratitude I have for him, this work, and for my freedom, aliveness and vitality, brings me to tears on a regular basis."
