with Paulina Alanis
Paulina Alanis and Marco V Morelli, bring over two decades of experience working with psychedelic medicines (specifically, psilocybin mushrooms) and the creative process—now focusing on how to bring the two together for ultimate synergy.
Paulina has guided hundreds of people through medicine ceremonies, while Marco has worked as a poet, writer, editor, publisher, and cooperative community organizer, using psychedelics in his personal practice to inspire creative breakthroughs.
This unique program, including preparation and integration sessions, with individual coaching and community support, is designed for anyone who wants to explore the potential of psychedelics to enhance their creative life.

THE CREATIVE JOURNEY
“Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.”
― Erich Fromm
The psychedelic experience provides a unique opportunity to access deeper layers of your mind, emotions, imagination, and spirituality. When used intentionally, in a safe setting, with trustworthy guidance, psychedelics can help you let go of your everyday preoccupations, clear blockages in your psyche, and open up to perspectives that you would not have realized before. A psychedelic experience can open the “doors of perception,” growing new neural pathways for creative problem-solving and authentic self-expression.

Meet Your Guides
Combining decades of experience with guiding psychedelic journeys, and working collaboratively with creatives to bring out their best work, Paulina and Marco will be with you every step of the way.
Paulina Alanis
Paulina is a spiritually driven explorer of the multi-dimensional self. Through her strong spirit, she inspires others to make changes happen. She graduated in 2013 with a Master’s Degree in Integral Psychology from John F. Kennedy University, with a focus on Integral Theory and the study of altered states of consciousness. She studied core shamanism at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and received the transmission of the Munay-Ki Rites. She has also been certified as a coach by Integral Coaching Canada. Since 2013, after a life-changing experience with ibogaine, she began working with ibogaine clinics in Mexico for addiction treatment, as a therapist and psychedelic guide. Some of the ibogaine clinics she’s worked at include: Pangea, Iboga Root, Tabula Rasa, Iboga Quest and The Mission Within. Eventually, she expanded her practice to offer therapeutic treatments and psycho-spiritual ceremonies with ibogaine and psilocybin. Find her other offerings at trueisense.com.

He is the founder of Cosmos Cooperative (a member-owned publishing platform & creative community), and the author of I AM THE SINGULARITY, a book of visionary poetry (forthcoming from Untimely Books, 2025). He was also a co-author, with Ken Wilber, Terry Patten, and Adam Leonard, of Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening (Shambhala Publications, 2008). Marco lives in Colorado, with his wife and two daughters, where, in addition to writing, editing, publishing, and community organizing, he regularly practices meditation and Qigong.
