IESI
pronounced “I see”
Remembering the connection that has always existed.
A guided journey for one to four people, over one to three days, in Baja California Sur, Mexico, and at private locations in Canada.
Begin a conversationIESI is a guided journey of love and connection.
It helps you see yourself more clearly, and experience a deeper sense of love, connection and relationship with yourself, with others and with life.
Through that seeing, you remember a connection that was always there. What people carry home is simple to name and harder to describe: a clearer sense of themselves, and a more grounded way of living through difficulty.
This is not another self‑improvement program. It is not a peak experience to collect.
Four stages, one journey
IESI takes its name from the four stages you move through. Each one prepares the ground for the next.
- 1
Illuminate
See yourself clearly.
Look honestly at your patterns, beliefs and stories, at what stands in the way, and at what you most want. This is where your intention takes shape.
I see myself as I am.
- 2
Expand
Open beyond the familiar.
Your awareness of yourself and of others deepens, and you begin to move past the ordinary ways you perceive your life.
I see beyond what I know.
- 3
Surrender
Let go and enter the experience.
This is where the Bufo (5‑MeO‑DMT) experience happens. You release control, expectations and familiar boundaries while staying connected to your intention.
Surrender is an experience. IESI is the journey.
I let go, and I see.
- 4
Integrate
Bring what you have seen into your life.
You reflect on what came through, embody it, and return to it again and again in ordinary days, until it becomes part of how you live.
I see it in how I live.
The journey begins the moment you decide
The medicine is a peak within that journey, not the whole of it. And the journey continues after you leave, as what you experienced begins to find its place in your life.
- Before
From the moment you decide, you begin to consider your intentions, and we talk them through together in preparatory conversations.
- During
Illuminate continues in person, followed by Expand and then Surrender.
- Right after
Integration begins while you and Brenda are still together.
- Later
You bring the experience into everyday life. About two weeks after your journey, you meet again for an integration conversation, which can happen by Zoom. Integration coaching is available weekly, or whenever you need it.
IESI extends beyond the days we spend together. It is a supported process, from your first conversation through to integration.
Shaped around you
Timing and cost are part of the first conversation, because each journey is shaped around the people in it.
- One day
- An inner journey, centred on connecting with yourself.
- Two days
- Builds from the inner journey toward how you live and relate to others.
- Three days
- Moves further into connection with others, with relationship and with life.
- Solo
- Space for focused, individual exploration.
- Couples
- Each person works on themselves first, then the work turns toward the relationship.
- Shared
- Up to four people: friends, strangers, or two couples.
“It’s not about me.”
Brenda guides each journey. She is there as a mirror, pointing you back to yourself and holding space for your own inner direction to emerge.
Questions
What does IESI mean?
IESI stands for the four stages of the journey: Illuminate, Expand, Surrender and Integrate. It is pronounced “I see.”
Is this a Bufo ceremony?
Yes. Bufo is at the heart of the IESI journey.
The experience centres on Bufo, with the preparation, guidance and four stages of IESI designed to support and deepen what happens through it.
The journey is also larger than the ceremony itself. It begins before you arrive and continues through integration afterwards.
Where does it take place?
In Baja California Sur, Mexico, and at private locations in Canada. The exact setting depends on your journey and is shared in conversation.
Who can come?
You can journey alone, as a couple, or in a group of up to four. A group can be friends, people who have never met, or two couples.
How long is a journey?
One, two or three consecutive days, with preparation before you arrive and an integration conversation about two weeks afterwards.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on the length of the journey, the number of people and the location, so we work it out together during the first conversation.
Is it safe for me?
Your safety is part of the journey. Your health and any medications you take are discussed privately, one on one, during intake and before anything is arranged.
What support is there afterwards?
Every journey includes an integration conversation about two weeks later. If you would like continued support, integration coaching is available weekly or whenever you need it.
How do I begin?
Send Brenda a message on WhatsApp. It is the start of a conversation, and it does not commit you to anything.
We are not here to become someone else.We are here to remember who we have always been.
Begin a conversationThe conversation begins on WhatsApp. Journeys take place in Baja California Sur, Mexico, and at private locations in Canada.
