I want to express my deepest gratitude to Costanza and her incredible team for their profound and caring support. Their acts of unconditional kindness and unwavering presence helped me release emotions I had been carrying for so long, and for that, I am forever thankful. Costanza is not only an extraordinary musician but also embodies the essence of a divine grandmother, gently guiding with love and wisdom. Her deeply loving presence, combined with the music created by her and her team, elevated me into a state of pure heart-opening that still resonates within me to this day. Her music on Spotify has become a cherished part of my life—it contains a magical essence that transports me back to that beautiful feeling of peace, love, and transformation. Listening to her tracks is like revisiting the healing and joy I experienced during my time with her. If you are seeking a profound and soulful experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Costanza and her team. Their music and presence have been nothing short of life-changing for me.

I worked closely with Costanza and her team in 2024 for more than a week. The programme was designed with purpose and intention and her vast experience with various traditions and approaches allowed me to feel safe while embarking on my inner healing journey. There was time to work and time to enjoy and sing your heart out. Costanza's art of facilitation is a unique blend of professionalism, wisdom and love for nature and community. This was one of the most meaningful experiences in my life.

What Studies Show
After years of studies and research, many benefits have been found. While everyone’s experience is unique, here are some of the most prominent ones you may encounter:
UNLOCK CREATIVITY
Psychedelic Medicines increases ratings of creative insights. Persisting effects are predicted between network connectivity of the default mode network of the brain.
STRESS REGULATION
Music, Breathwork and Psychedelic Medicines reduce the amygdala response and trait anxiety, increasing emotional plasticity and self-regulation.
BETTER SLEEP
Difficulty sleeping has been correlated with the autonomic nervous dysfunction. Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system helping relaxation and better sleep.
COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE
Breathwork increases the ability to sustain focus. Psychedelic medicines help neurons in the brain to sprout new dendrites to increase communication between cells. It increases neuronal outgrowth creating neuroplasticity..
BUILD RESILIENCE
Working through old wounds and bringing awareness to patterns in a safe space with these practices build better coping mechanisms for challenging events and emotions.
ANTIDEPRESSANT EFFECTS
"The effect seen with psilocybin is consistent across studies, related to people getting better, and was not seen with a conventional antidepressant." Professor Carhart-Harris, University of California
