Our mission

At Collective Wisdom, our mission is to make holistic healing accessible to all — by connecting people with the practices, tools, and support that resonate with their unique journey. Whether through bodywork, spiritual coaching, creative expression, or guided psychedelic experiences, we believe in empowering each individual to return to their natural state of balance, clarity, and wholeness. We work with trusted partners like Mushroom Wisdom to provide safe access to ethically sourced magic mushrooms for those called to explore the healing potential of psychedelics.

Our vision

We envision a world where healing is rooted in community, creativity, and connection to the Earth. In the near future, we will begin hosting psilocybin retreats across the globe — creating sacred spaces for transformation, integration, and shared growth. Looking ahead, our long-term dream is to build eco-village style communities where people can live close to nature, contribute meaningfully, and access ongoing healing and support. These sanctuaries will serve as spaces of belonging for anyone seeking rest, realignment, and reconnection.

Our Team

Meet the heart of Collective Wisdom — a soulful team of artists, healers, and guides united by a shared passion for transformation and conscious connection.

My name is Steffan Tortuga. For most of my life, I tried to fit into society, to make sense of relationships, family, and the world around me. But no matter how hard I tried, it just didn’t work. Eventually, I rebelled. I went down a dark path—anger, addiction, living like an outsider, trying to survive in a world that never felt like home. That path led me to Rock Bay Landing, a homeless shelter in Victoria, BC.

It was in that rock-bottom space that something shifted. Through long meditation sessions, deep psychedelic journeys, and facing the weight of the karma I had built, I began to heal. I started feeling a new sense of direction—one rooted in purpose, truth, and connection.

Now, I want to share my story with anyone who’s struggling like I did. If you’re dealing with anger, addiction, or trauma, I see you. I’ve been there. And I’m here to tell you that transformation is real. You can come home to yourself. I did—and I want to help others do the same.

Hi, I’m Magdalena, but you can call me Mags. I’m a trained massage therapist with a passion for integrating bodywork and energy healing to create deeply nurturing, holistic treatments. My approach blends a variety of therapeutic massage techniques with intuitive touch and energetic modalities, creating space for the body and spirit to soften, release, and realign.

My healing journey began during a difficult chapter in my life, when traditional approaches like CBT and medication no longer served me. That turning point led me into the world of alternative healing — beginning with Reiki, breathwork, and somatic therapies, and eventually expanding into hypnotherapy, Kundalini yoga, and Family Constellation work.

Each treatment I offer is tailored to your unique needs — whether you’re seeking relief from physical tension, emotional stagnation, or energetic imbalance. I specialize in therapeutic massage, intuitive bodywork, and energy healing, allowing for deep restoration and nervous system support.

Alongside body therapies, I also offer Soul Project Akashic Records Readings to help clients reconnect with their soul’s path and purpose. With training and certifications from Poland, the UK, and Canada, I weave both grounded bodywork and spiritual insight into everything I offer.

Through Collective Wisdom, I’m honored to hold space for those seeking transformation — through the body, the heart, and the soul. Let’s reconnect you with the wisdom already within.

My name is Kha Hibou.

I am a spiritual guide, meditation facilitator, and healing companion for those ready to transform pain into wisdom and walk the path of self-realization.

My journey began in deep suffering.

I was born in Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, and from the age of 5, I began experiencing severe chronic illness. Over the years, I endured more than 50 acute pancreatitis attacks, underwent multiple surgeries, and lived with excruciating, constant pain. At one point, I was taking over 15 prescription pills a day, including more than 10 Dilaudid (morphine) tablets daily. I spent two full years completely disabled—unable to work or study.

By the age of 17, I realized the medical system had no real answers for me. So I made a radical choice: I stopped all medications overnight and turned inward—to trust the guidance of Mother Earth. Through self-experimentation and deep listening, I began healing myself with medicinal plants, healing mushrooms, and psychedelic medicine.

This sacred path of nature, spirit, and presence completely transformed me. I healed physically, mentally, and spiritually. Later, I fell into the world of addiction—street drugs like MDMA, ecstasy, and speed—but through the wisdom of mushrooms and plants, I found my way back to clarity, truth, and liberation.

Today, I offer my experience, my presence, and my heart to those who feel the call to heal, awaken, and live fully.

As a photographer and artist, my role within this company is to help scale and grow our vision through creative storytelling. But beyond my creative work, I am deeply committed to my own inner journey-exploring the depths of meditation, spiritual work, and self- discovery to see how much I can truly learn about myself.

Through my personal journey with magic mushrooms, I've unlocked creative resistance that once held me back. This connection has allowed me to deepen my understanding of myself and my artistic expression, opening new pathways for creation. Now, through sacred geometry, mandalas, and visionary art, I channel this newfound freedom into works that reflect

the ongoing expansion of consciousness within us all. My aim is to offer others a way to see, feel, and connect with the energies that guide us through transformation.

Water has always been an essential part of my life and journey-both in healing and creativity. I have a deep appreciation for water as a conduit for energy, emotion, and connection. Whether through its physical presence in my art, its role in sound and frequency healing, or the way it teaches flow and surrender, water continues to guide me. My path is to learn and integrate the healing power of water while working in harmony with the other three elements-earth, air, and fire-to create balance and connection on all levels.

As I continue this journey, I am exploring how mushrooms, art, and the elements intersect-not only in my own life but as a means to help others process their experiences in a more visual and immersive way. However this unfolds, I trust that each step will bring me closer to creating spaces that inspire deep connection, whether through my art, energy work, or the vision of a retreat where nature, sound, and creativity come together as powerful healing forces.

This isn't just a business-it's a movement. A journey toward alignment, healing, and co-creating the New Earth.
