A Little About Sacred Life
Nitai Aleksiewicz, MA, PAT
We are all walking each other home. Committed to the heart-centered belief that every person has within themselves the compassionate wisdom needed to heal, Nitai designs personalized psilocybin retreat programs from her foundational value of ‘power-with’ not ‘power-over.’ Her purpose is to discover how her clients uniquely operate so she can help them attune to self-trust and discover their own medicine.
Nitai is a trauma-informed psilocybin facilitator who has worked with over a hundred clients facilitating group and individual journeys. Her experience crisis counseling at a Rape Crisis Center, group facilitating at an Outpatient Drug Rehab, and 3 years developing and facilitating psychedelic retreats, allow her to compassionately witness and hold grounded space for grief and trauma release.
She strongly believes community is a global cure and incorporates both clients’ existing local support systems and the healing ‘village’ in Eugene to build out each program. Her intake system explores and expands the ways her clients heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually to co-create a 3 month (minimum) experience-based program centered around a 5 day one-on-one psilocybin retreat that is an immersive deep dive into seeing, hearing, and healing those parts of Self that have been silenced and shamed.
This ‘long-runway’ model includes extensive preparation and integration support intended to hold clients with higher-levels of trauma in the psychedelic space with the highest standards of safe, ethical care. Her programs include modalities such as somatic practices, breathwork, sound healing, yoga, parts work, channeled personalized meditations, and Shadow work.

‘Nitai’s spirit is like a fragrant breeze that suddenly washes over you on a beautiful spring day.
Nitai holds a special place in my heart for her incredible support during the multi-day group psilocybin retreat I attended. As you can imagine, facilitating a group, multi-day retreat can include a number of challenges along the way (on top of already long days for the facilitators) but Nitai navigated it all with grace, love and professionalism. Nitai’s patience, kindness, and deep knowledge helped to create a sanctuary for profound inner exploration. Her positive energy and loving presence gently nudged me on my journey of self-discovery and healing. From heartfelt integration discussions, soothing yoga sessions and meditations, Nitai's guidance felt like a warm embrace, guiding me and our entire group through the depths of our experience. I'm deeply grateful for Nitai's wisdom and the sparkle she brought to my journey.’

‘I had the privilege of attending a 5-day psilocybin retreat for which Nitai was the lead facilitator. She was an integral part of this life-changing experience. From the moment we first met on Zoom, she made me feel safe, heard, and attended to. She is warm, generous, very smart, and wickedly funny. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a facilitator.’

‘NITAI IS AMAZING!
From the beginning of our retreat, which was created and staffed with amazing individuals, it was Nitai who created the cohesiveness of the group experience, who warmly invited all aspects of ourselves and ultimately, she was the one who salvaged my experience when my anticipated ceremony created challenging outcomes. I did not have the skills or frame of reference to manage my own frustrations, yet she affirmed I was invited, wanted, cared for and welcome in the messy/frustrated state I experienced.
Ultimately, Nitai shows up wholehearted and is steady in her invitation for everyone to embrace, explore and ultimately cultivate our own authentic experience.’
- Kate B.
From my first encounter with Nitai via Zoom to follow up meetings online, Nitai made my first experience with a psychedelic more profound than I could have imagined.
In that first Zoom meeting, Nitai encouraged participation by all, answered questions respectfully and with compassion for those who were hesitant to participate or somewhat ambivalent about the upcoming visit to Oregon.
In person Nitai held us all in a cocoon of honesty, trust, and expansiveness: she was the ideal person to guide me in my first psychedelic experiences.
I can attest that Nitai’s intuition, professionalism, and compassion made my journeys profound in ways that I continue to experience, weeks after my encounters with her. These ongoing revelations are a tribute to Nitai, she has my deepest gratitude, and my most profound recommendation as a facilitator of psychedelic journeys.

‘I found Nitai to be a truly exemplary facilitator.
Nitai creates an environment of calmness, security, and positivity for the journeying process. This environment was so fundamentally important for me. Her professionalism and experience brings security and calmness, whereas her energy, personality, and attitude brings positivity.
I have taken two journeys with her and the space Nitai held helped me really relax and let the medicine take me where I needed to be.
At times she adeptly, and gently, helped guide me away from unhelpful areas of thought when needed, but seemed to know when it was best for me to simply process. She is adaptive and is truly present to be what you need at any given moment. I had two very different journeys in her care, both needing very different forms of support, she was more than able to be present in the way I needed.
I went deep in my second journey and Nitai was not phased by the rollercoaster of emotion that came with it. She is a consummate professional. Always mindful, aware, and attentive.
Aftercare was also excellent. I found Nitai to be a superb listener, she is genuinely interested and engaged in your experience and processing. I’ve met few people who I believe have found their calling, but I would certainly say Nitai has found hers in facilitating people in their journeys.’

The Medicine is the Catalyst
The Design is the Vessel
This isn’t about luxury as comfort; it’s about precision and sacred design.
The medicine itself is the catalyst—the living intelligence that guides transformation.
The container—the structure, the safety, the design—is what allows that catalyst to unfold with grace.
My role is to build a space where your system can open safely to what’s asking to transform.
Each Sacred Life Immersive is a deeply choreographed process of healing made just for you: designed with trauma-informed care, somatic intelligence, and spiritual precision. The profound medicine that is psilocybin alongside a personalized program designed with practices aligned with the individual’s unique history, serves as the catalyst for this profound inner work, allowing participants to gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and create lasting change.

Our Sacred Life Mission
Sacred Life Statement
Journey work with psilocybin is not a ‘magic fix-all’ pill, but a powerful modality to employ in the ongoing process of healing deep-rooted trauma. The mission of Sacred Life is to honor this modality by supporting it within a greater transformational process that harnesses: the unique gifts and history of the individual, the power of community ‘the village,’ and commitment to co-creating personalized healthy practices that will support each individual beyond their ‘journey’ experience.
