Sacred Ceremony
Guided Psilocybin Ceremonies in Toronto
Sacred Ceremony is a masterfully facilitated psilocybin ceremony in Toronto designed as a structured, group-based psychedelic experience supporting emotional processing, clarity, and integration. Often described as psilocybin-assisted therapy or a psychedelic ceremony, the process prioritizes preparation, containment, and integration rather than peak experience alone.
This guided preparation session for a psilocybin ceremony is designed to orient intention, review pre-ceremony practices, and prepare the nervous system for a safe and grounded psychedelic experience. Participants meet the group, review practical guidelines, ask questions, and explore personal themes to approach the ceremony with clarity and stability. A self-guided preparation workbook is included to support integration before the ceremony.
New clients are required to complete an additional onboarding and safety screening call (additional fee). This ensures appropriate pacing, medical and psychological suitability, and alignment before participating in the psilocybin ceremony in Toronto.

Sacred Ceremony

A carefully held group psilocybin ceremony in Toronto designed to support emotional release, insight, and reconnection. This guided psychedelic journey is structured, intentional, and grounded, prioritizing safety, preparation, and integration so the experience can unfold with clarity and stability. Often described as a psilocybin-assisted healing or psychedelic ceremony, the work is held with respect, containment, and care—supporting meaningful change rather than peak experience alone.
Post-Ceremony Call
3
A guided integration sharing circle to process what emerged during the psilocybin ceremony and allow the experience to settle into daily life. This post-ceremony integration session supports emotional regulation, insight stabilization, and nervous system grounding. Participants may continue with 1:1 integration sessions for deeper support, or—if ongoing private sessions are not accessible—use Eddy’s book, The Way In Is Through, as a self-guided integration resource to continue the healing and embodiment process.
During a Sacred Ceremony, psilocybin works by temporarily reducing activity in the brain’s default mode network (DMN), a system associated with rigid thought patterns, rumination, and identity fixation. This shift increases neural connectivity and communication between brain regions, allowing new perspectives, emotional processing, and insight to emerge. As perception opens, individuals are able to access and explore deeply held emotions, subconscious patterns, and long-standing mental or emotional blocks with greater clarity and flexibility. For many, this process leads to a felt sense of insight, emotional release, and inner coherence. Some participants also report spiritual or transpersonal experiences as neurochemical activity reorganizes perception and meaning.
Because psychedelic states significantly increase sensitivity and suggestibility, expert facilitation and structured ceremonial guidance are essential. A well-prepared and carefully held psilocybin ceremony provides safety, containment, and integration support, reducing overwhelm and minimizing the risks of confusion or destabilization. Working with experienced guides allows the experience to unfold in a grounded, intentional way, supporting lasting personal growth rather than short-lived insight. Thoughtful preparation, skilled facilitation, and post-ceremony integration are what transform a psychedelic experience into meaningful, sustainable change.
“I’ve done two Sacred Ceremonies with Eddy now, and I can honestly say that both experiences were truly magnificent. Eddy creates an incredibly safe, warm and welcoming environment for you to embark on your journey. The curation of the whole ceremony is expertly crafted, and both experiences were incredibly transformative for me. I can’t highly recommend it enough.”

“It was like four years of therapy in four hours.”

Through a guided psilocybin ceremony, many individuals report a deeper connection with themselves and a clearer relationship to their inner world. As perception shifts, space opens for insight, emotional processing, and a more authentic way of engaging with life. For some, this brings a sense of clarity and calm; for others, it reveals where change is needed and how to move forward with greater honesty and self-direction.
In the months following a psychedelic ceremony, participants may experience shifts such as:
Greater self-awareness and a more stable sense of identity
Reduced engagement in self-sabotaging or habitual patterns
Increased emotional regulation and resilience
Improved clarity, focus, and decision-making
A renewed connection to the present moment
The ability to release past conditioning and unresolved emotional weight
Periods of creative flow and increased adaptability
A stronger sense of agency, responsibility, and ownership of life
While a psilocybin ceremony can open access to subconscious material and insight, lasting change depends on integration. There is no guaranteed outcome or passive transformation. Sustainable growth comes from engaging with what arises and applying integration tools over time. Preparation, support, and post-ceremony integration are what allow insight to translate into real-world change. The depth of transformation reflects the level of presence, responsibility, and follow-through each person brings to the process.
“If you’re looking to do some spiritual work and look inward, I can’t recommend Eddy enough.”

-Luca Campacci
"I came to Eddy during a challenging time in my life and it was after our first bodywork session that I learned not only how amazing he is as a person, but how the work he does is incredibly healing and inspiring. I've done holistic bodywork, sacred medicine journey and online breath class and looking forward to what Eddy has to offer next!"
-Aisha Bentham
“I felt & released emotions that I've been suppressing throughout my life. A keystone moment of my life all thanks to your guidance and sacred journey, Eddy!”

“It was magical, therapeutic and life-enhancing. Having done ayahuasca before, I would say that your journey is very similar to ayahuasca , both in the feel of the journey (minus the discomfort of the purge) and the depth of the insights. I guess it's not only because of the magic of the mushroom, but because your guidance before and during the ceremony. Thank you again Eddy, I will do it again.”

“Eddy. Too much to say. You have brought me back from what was to be death (and please know I am not saying that lightly, especially). The plan was in place. That is why I tell you. You've reignited my purpose. I'm going to do my best, seeing what you've done. I saw You before I heard your story. I saw you in a way that only the trees, and the stars, and the monkeys looking down get to see you....I don't know why I received that privilege. But also only a fraction of you. Thank you. You taught me, or reminded me so much in 1 evening, that my whole perspective has changed.”

FAQs

We start with an opening circle to introduce ourselves, share intentions, and address crucial questions. Next, I guide meditation to prepare the mind and body for the altered state. I use sound tools to release energy, live vocals to the ground or call-in medicine teachers, and curated musical scores to evoke emotions.
Most of the journey consists of silent meditation, lying on a personal mat with an eye mask. The ceremony concludes with a transmission, blessing, and sound bath. Finally, we ground ourselves with fresh fruit and engage in a sharing circle.
-
In a private journey, participants receive more individualized attention, and the session concludes with Holistic Bodywork, which includes clothed Thai massage, stretching, and compression.
In a group ceremony, participants experience a sense of unity, empathy, and connection. These ceremonies include opening and closing sharing circles, accompanied by fresh fruit and snacks. Group Ceremonies include a pre and post-ceremony Zoom call.
Both options provide valuable opportunities for deep self-understanding, and neither is inherently superior.
-
We supply a comprehensive guide on preparing for the ceremony. It is recommended that 3-9 days before the event, participants follow a whole food diet free of processed foods to help clear both physical and mental clutter. Additionally, practicing breathwork and meditation during this period is advised to enhance the experience.
-
While some individuals may encounter challenging states during the experience, these moments are often essential for self-awareness and healing. I am equipped with various tools to assist participants, including energy work, energy clearings, breath prompts, vocal anchors, and grounding techniques.

Please ensure you have arranged transportation, as each participant must sign a safety agreement agreeing not to operate a motor vehicle for up to 12 hours after the session.
-
For safety and care considerations, this work is not suitable for individuals currently taking lithium or opioid medications, or for those with a history of psychosis, bipolar disorder, mania, or schizophrenia. If you’re unsure whether this applies to you, please reach out so we can help you find appropriate support.

With antidepressants, there is a risk of serotonin syndrome, which can be uncomfortable but typically subsides. We recommend discussing a plan to taper down your medication with your doctor or therapist.
While there are no contraindications with anti-anxiety medications, they may diminish the effects of psilocybin.

Not a frequently asked question, however, it is important to have awareness around:
HPPD (Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder) is a rare condition where perceptual distortions continue long after. While it can happen with any mind-altering substance, it’s extremely uncommon.In 5 years of monthly group sessions and weekly multiple one-on-ones (that’s approximately 1380 sessions), I’ve never seen HPPD show up in my practice.
It only came to my attention when someone messaged me about it, sharing that they developed HPPD a few years ago after their personal use—and have improved since.
In my practice, I’ve only seen one person take longer than usual—about 1–2 weeks—to feel grounded and “normal” again. Most people feel back to their usual, often improved, self within 1–2 days.
Some may find integration more challenging, but that’s often less about the medicine itself and more about how they relate to life and the emotions it surfaces.

Take time to rest, recover, and rejuvenate for a day or two after the ceremony. You may experience decreased energy, a headache from mental processing, or feel emotionally drained for the next 24 hours. Some individuals may also feel scattered and confused. Continue following the dieta for an additional 3-9 days as your body detoxes, allowing your body and mind to recalibrate without worry—you are exactly where you need to be. Complete the integration journal prompts, or book an integration call with Eddy.

Following my brother's passing, I traveled to Peru as a guest at a Retreat Centre. The team recognized my integration skills and invited me to train as a facilitator.
I accepted the offer and went on to lead several retreats while working alongside Shaman elders in Peru for six months. I eventually became the lead facilitator, training new facilitators as they joined the team.

During the first Ontario lockdown, I curated a personal ceremony and gained inspiration on how to optimize my work with psilocybin. Since that day, I have facilitated journeys for hundreds of individuals who place their trust in my expertise and approach.
“Thank you so much for our incredible experience. You held IMPECCABLE space for us. I had no idea there was so much to purge, and it was your perfect prompt that helped me unlock it. So much ancestral energy left my system, and was replaced with tears of gratitude for family members on both sides. I feel my throat and expression is more open as a result. The 12 beliefs process was also incredibly powerful, especially the way you guided it, and included experiences from your own courageous journey. I am sure even more benefits will keep present themselves over time, it was a pivotal experience!”

“I can’t express my gratitude enough for facilitating one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. There were a lot of different things that I felt I learned throughout, the major being this absolutely beautiful understanding and knowing of oneness and connectedness. I feel that it’s something that I have always understood, but to experience that on a visceral level was a whole different story. My deepest gratitude for you and what you offer the world. I have passed your information along to many friends that I know would gain so much out of what you facilitate.”

“Thank you so much for sharing your story and holding space for this transformative experience. Easily one of the best decisions I have made without any resistance in 2020. This journey felt very familiar energetic-wise-- as in being welcomed back to shed these other layers and gain a better understanding of what was first shown me in my previous trip. Thanks Eddy for all you do!”

A final note from Eddy Tony
The ceremony offers a transformative experience, but it may also be challenging. During the process, you may encounter discomfort as previously buried energetic patterns resurface in your consciousness.
A journey toward lasting inner peace requires courage and dedication. Above all, it necessitates consistent action and a commitment to long-term growth and development.
My foremost objective is to provide a secure and supportive environment for you to delve into your inner landscape and refine your internal guidance system. This will empower you to make more informed decisions that positively impact your life.
