From My Heart

Aloha, I’m Chi, a fellow beginner on an infinite spiritual journey.

It can be tough living in a suffering world with an open sensitive heart. I get it.

Despite being a mixed bag of karma, I’ve been lucky enough to receive teachings from many guides – both human and non-human. Closest to my heart are the Buddhist masters and mushrooms who have helped me relax and be more forgiving.

I’ve sat with psilocybin regularly since 2017. I’ve witnessed mushrooms transform many lives, including my own, and I pray they benefit you as well.

Thank you for considering me as an ally on your journey. I look forward to supporting you.
