Hello Beautiful Community, We hope you are all savouring the summer, basking in the heat and embracing the power of nature. Tania and I have returned from Psychedelic Science 2023 in Denver, Colorado where 12, 000 of us gathered to learn from the leading experts in mental health, trauma, psychedelic medicine, and so much more. After personally integrating a whirlwind of a week, we are ready to integrate these insights collectively and are excited to share our upcoming offerings for growth, healing, and self-discovery. |

Group Work These groups are carefully curated in an intimate and supportive space to facilitate inner exploration and meaningful bonds. You'll engage in art practices, connection-building exercises, nature activities, medicine work, and more. At the heart of our work lies a strong emphasis on support, preparation and integration. We strongly believe that support is one of the building blocks to health and that lasting transformation lies beyond the actual psychedelic experience. Before embarking on the journey, we guide you through preparation, providing you with tools, insights, and practices to ensure you're emotionally, physically and spiritually prepared. Equally important is the integrative phase, where we offer comprehensive support as you tether the lessons and breakthroughs from your journey into everyday life. We are in the midst of preparing for our upcoming fall cohorts beginning in September/October. For more information or to schedule an information session, please e-mail info@aphroditehealth.co |

These sessions are tailored specifically to your needs, providing an opportunity for deep introspection and breakthroughs. Our trauma-informed approach acknowledges the importance of providing support that is sensitive to the unique needs and experiences of each individual. We understand the significance of creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported, allowing for the healing of past wounds and the cultivation of inner resilience - always at your own pace. In these inner-directed sessions, you'll have the opportunity to delve into your personal journey, address specific challenges, and connect with the inner healer that lies within you.

Melissa Vrouvides Founder at Aphrodite Health Relational Guide www.womenonpsychedelics.org With the aid of sacred medicines, Melissa accompanies women as they journey home to themselves and their bodies. She holds the firm belief that within each individual lies the innate power to heal and that true healing encompasses the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Melissa's primary focus when working with clients is to establish a foundation of trust and safety, creating a space where they can deepen their connection with their inner healer, becoming their own greatest guru. "My own personal struggles with complex PTSD and the sense of disillusionment over mainstream mental health approaches are what led me to the mystical world of psychedelics. After a life-changing introductory experience, my calling became clear and I have since advocated for their destigmatization. I firmly believe that—when approached with proper support, intention and in conjunction with other modalities—psychedelic medicine has the potential to act as a catalyst for profound healing and transformation.' Melissa has a background in psychology and has completed leading-edge training programs in personal development, psychedelic facilitation and trauma-informed work, including mentorship facilitated by Micah Stover, Trauma Midwife, Psychedelic Guide & Integration Specialist. She is also part of the second cohort for Psychedelics Today: Vital Practitioner Training Program. Additionally, Melissa is on the Women on Psychedelics team—an organization working toward the normalization of psychoactive substances and the end of stigmatization around women’s mental health and women’s drug use. |

Tania Santer Artist/Art Therapist Co-Founder at Aphrodite Health Psychedelic Guide www.taniasanter.com Tania journeys with women into realms of the mind and spirit by helping them cultivate a deep relationship with their bodies, the earth under their feet, and their inner creativity so they can reclaim their power and live meaningful lives. "I began my path in art therapy after years of longing for harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Art making has been, and continues to be, a supportive tool in my own journey; helping me process my own inner world and gain insights into my life. I have come to understand art-making as being a deeply spiritual practice, a universal birthright, an intuitive voice, and a transformational avenue of self-expression. I create supportive therapeutic spaces for women to connect to their inner creativity and the world around them in deep and meaningful ways." Tania Santer is a Professional Canadian Art Therapist (CATA), Registered Psychotherapist (RP), and an Art Hives facilitator with 5 years experience using her passion for nature and the creative arts to facilitate growth, healing, and community connection. |
