Micro Love

Let’s be honest

Microdosing has a bit of an image problem.

On one side: the biohackers with their spreadsheets, their productivity metrics, and very specific protocols for unlocking peak performance or optimizing for neuroplasticity. Microdosing as a supplement and tool - those shouting from their podcast that microdosing is the hot new way to be relentlessly efficient in a hyperindividualist culture.

On the other side: the total hippie weirdos, 'trippers' who went way beyond this realm in a past high-dose experience and now have a lot of opinions about ego death - those loudly proclaiming that if everyone would just eat mushrooms, we'd have world peace...

Ok, I admit. That's not not me. But hear me out.

Somewhere in the middle is the actual experience most people have of working with psilocybin gently and intentionally; Quieter, stranger, warmer, and considerably more interesting than either of those camps would have you believe.

What shifts

You start seeing life differently. 

Noticing things, like the quality of light through the trees. You actually stop to look at it. A song makes you cry in the kitchen, and the tears feel useful somehow, like the body finally got the memo. You catch yourself in a pattern you’ve run a thousand times, and for some reason, this time you can see it. Not with judgment, just with this odd, spacious curiosity, like: oh, there it is.

Synchronicities get easier to spot. The universe seems to be winking at you, specifically, like you’re both in on a little secret that you can’t quite articulate but that you feel in your chest.

Complexity and simplicity intertwine. Things that were complicated become simpler. Things that were simple reveal layers. You smell the roses. Sometimes you cry about the roses, which is completely fine.

This is not optimization. It's attunement. You're seeing, perhaps for the first time in a long time, what is actually present. 

MicroLove is a container for this kind of exploration: Gentle. Curious. Held. Reverent. And often, a whole lot of fun.

You, right now

Spirit has been tapping you on the shoulder.

Not an emergency. Not a crisis. Something quieter.

A sense that there is more available to you than what you’ve been accessing. Not more in the “achieve more things” way — in the “actually be here for your own life” way. The creativity that keeps almost surfacing. The grief that’s been waiting patiently for a moment of real stillness. The part of you that has been trying to say something but keeps getting interrupted by the very reasonable business of being a person in the world.

You’ve done real work on yourself. You know your patterns. You have a practice, or several. You have language for your experience that most of the people in your life don’t fully understand, which is fine, you’ve made peace with that.

And still, something is circling. You can feel it - the whisper of Spirit asking you to listen.

You’ve wondered about microdosing. Maybe you’ve already tried it on your own, and it did something interesting, but you weren’t quite sure what to do with what it opened. Maybe you’ve read about it and felt the recognition of yes, but I want to do this mindfully. Maybe someone you trust told you about it at exactly the right moment, the way things tend to happen when you’re actually paying attention. Maybe you just LOVE the mushrooms and want to share the love in community (hey. me too!)

You don’t want another protocol. You want a real container. Simple practices. Engaged conversations in an open-minded community. Insights from a fellow traveler (and guide) who has studied this not just academically but through her body, her life, and authentic spirituality.

You want to get to know yourself a little better. Because actually, you like yourself, and you're curious about the deeper layers of your being. You're just enough of a weirdo that you’re willing to invite the ancient, strange and wise mushroom friends to help you do just that.

That tracks. Welcome.

Who this is for

Here for the soul-seekers.

You’re genuinely curious about microdosing and want to approach it with care and intention.
Not as a protocol to optimize, but as a relationship to begin.

You want the history and the lineage, not just the schedule.
You want to understand what it means to receive this medicine with reverence, and what is lost when we don’t.

You value somatic practice and embodied knowing alongside the intellectual.
You want something that works with your whole self, not just the part that reads research and takes notes.

You want communion and community.
Holding the medicine and circle as sacred, things become possible together that felt impossible alone.

You are willing to be surprised, and to 'not know.'
You're willing to follow the thread of your own curiosity wherever it leads, including into territory you didn’t expect.

You are open and willing to tend with tenderness.
With the same care you might bring to tending a garden: patient, attentive, genuinely interested in what grows.

This program is not appropriate for anyone in an acute mental health crisis, on contraindicated medications (SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium), or not in a stable place for intentional psychedelic practice right now.
