Overview
I am Dr. Regina U. Hess—a visionary, a clinician and shamanic healer, an international teacher, and a guide. With a joint Ph.D. in transpersonal psychology and embodied phenomenology, I have dedicated my life to the exploration of human consciousness and the work with expanded states of consciousness for healing of collective trauma and guiding awakening processes. Through my work as the founder/director of Birthing an Ancient Future – Multidisciplinary Psychedelic Council – Temple of the Peoples, I strive to bridge ancient wisdom with modern psychedelic science, empowering individuals to unlock their fullest potential and contribution to the world for co-creating harmony and balance for all our relations and our planet.
Birthing an Ancient Future creates spaces where people can commence on self-discovery, healing, and empowerment journeys. Drawing from my extensive knowledge as a clinical psychologist, body-centered Gestalt psychotherapist, and transpersonal therapist, I had a vision of a retreat that could effortlessly blend ancient wisdom traditions with modern psychedelic science, psychedelic-assisted transformational retreats for self-discovery and empowerment.
Our retreats stand out due to our uncompromising dedication to customization and personalization. We meticulously choreograph each journey to cater to the individual needs and preferences of every participant, be it in the pursuit of self-development, enhanced well- being, couple’s retreats, leadership skills, or team building. Our retreats are intentionally designed to provide both individual sessions and small group experiences. Every aspect of the retreat is created with a purpose and intention.
At the heart of our philosophy lies the concept of interconnectedness—the profound understanding that all beings and elements of existence are intrinsically linked. Rooted in this wisdom, we offer a holistic framework encompassing the dimensions of body, mind, spirit, culture, and Nature. We guide participants on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and awakening through a blend of bodywork, dance, movement, art, music, voice, sound, and sacred medicines like cacao and psilocybin-containing truffles.
What motivates us is the vision of co-creating a new Earth—a world where compassion, understanding, and interconnectedness reign supreme. Our purpose is clear: to serve as stewards of this vision, guiding individuals toward awakening and empowerment.
We believe in the power of healing and self-discovery, in the wisdom of ancient traditions,
and in the interconnectedness of all beings and the potential for collective evolution. Our goal is to assist people in their journey towards transformation and empowerment by providing them with the necessary tools, guidance, and support. Let’s work together to co-create a new future, one that is rooted in love, compassion, and interconnectedness.
