Intronaut

Ceremony, reflection, and integration

Canada Vancouver paid

Intronaut brings plant-medicine ceremonies together with non-dual and shamanic perspectives, then puts emphasis on integration: making sense of an experience beyond the ceremony itself. Retreats take place at different venues around Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, so the address for a specific gathering is shared after registration. The organization lists a Vancouver address at 997 Seymour Street, but it is not necessarily the ceremony venue. Meals are catered in-house, with a focus on fresh, organic, whole foods and options for a range of dietary needs. The listed facilities include a kitchen, yoga studio, sauna and hot tub, though the setting can vary by event. Intronaut runs by donation, making it worth asking about the contribution expected for the retreat you have in mind. This is a distinctively inward-looking program, suited to guests curious about plant-medicine work and willing to give time to reflection and integration.

Setting

Gatherings happen at varying venues across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland rather than at one fixed retreat site. The city offers an urban starting point, while the character and facilities of each ceremony setting depend on the event.

The practice

Intronaut combines plant-medicine ceremonies with ideas from non-duality and ancient shamanism, alongside an emphasis on integration. For newcomers, that means the work is not framed as ceremony alone: reflection afterward is part of the approach. Specific practices and preparation can differ between retreats, so ask the organizers what a particular gathering involves before booking.

A typical day

Daily structure varies by retreat, so confirm the schedule with Intronaut. Ceremonies are accompanied by catered meals, and integration is part of the program's approach; start times, session length, and free periods depend on the specific event.

Accommodation

Lodging arrangements are not described. Ask Intronaut whether accommodation is included or needs to be arranged separately for your chosen retreat.

What to bring

Bring comfortable layers and a rain shell: Vancouver averages 10.6°C annually, with wetter conditions common in December, March and October. For a plant-medicine ceremony, choose comfortable clothing and check with Intronaut about any event-specific preparation or items to bring.
