Clients are requested to undertake an intake interview where pertinent questions are asked regarding their medical history with regard to their chosen treatment and well being. We use current best practise to ascertain your suitability and integrity. You may be refused an experience based on the above criteria. If using SSRIs or other anti-depressant medications please be aware that, in most cases,you will have to be free of these for at least six-weeks and preferably three months before your experience can begin. You should consult your personal physician about how to come off as gradually as possible to forgo any adverse side effects. Honesty in this respect honours your own safety as well as the integrity of the facilitator to be prepared for any and every eventuality.
Integration Session, immediately following and usually two weeks post experience, is conducted in person or via video call by facilitators. Upon request transpersonal and somatic therapists can be present.
We also offer services to end patterns of negative behaviours by raising your conscious awareness to a higher vibrational frequency where these patterns are no longer compulsive and gently remind you to be the best and most authentic possible version of yourself.

If transformation, healing and adventure are what you seek, then Metamorphogenesis on the Lake of Joy is the place for you! I've been evolving and healing through a very difficult but joyous journey since 2013 - Rudi provided the perfect safe space for me to take a big leap into the next stage.
I'm a freelance writer by trade, but I've been wrestling for my life with unblocking myself creatively so I can write the things I need to in this life…. Rudi's houseboat, knowledge and psychedelic guidance provided the vessel I needed for all of that to unfold in a reassuring and sustainable way that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
The Lake of Joy needs to be seen to be believed in its stillness and beauty…. Warning: you will want to jump in it - intuitively and spontaneously - after spending time there in Rudi’s insightful and supportive company.
If you are curious about entheogenic experiences and feel a calling towards healing yourself through this method, then I could not possibly recommend a better guide and support system than Rudi Somerlove. I’m so grateful to have had this reality-affirming experience at the beginning 2019!! <3
Really great place to come…
Friendly, totally safe and very knowledgeable. I was facilitated by Rudi, here in 2017 and thoroughly recommend Metamorphogenesis to anyone looking for personal growth. Really great place to come.

On the shores of an often ‘mirror like’ lake, a small floating cottage rests unobtrusively. That small cottage turns out to be a spaceship to unimagined dimensions. Your guide, Rudi, an accomplished pioneering psychonaut, readies you for the journey through connecting deeply and opening his home, his experiences, and his record collection as you prepare to expand your mind. Three barriers will fall as you embrace this portal to altered consciousness: the first is coming to know and trust this wise guide; the second is jumping joyfully into the chilly nature of the lake, and the third, the anxious stranglehold of your ego. If you come with a curious mind and an open spirit, there are mysteries you will unlock and treasures that you will carry with you when you leave. Receive a wisdom at the Lake of Joy that will show you there is no more important place on the planet.
ROLAND LA RONDEL – 1 MARCH 2020
Rudi provides a trustworthy presence and ability to hold space gently and consistently.
From our consultation video call and advance emails it was obvious that he takes his work seriously, and listens carefully to what is requested by each person that comes to him. His holding of ritual space is ‘light touch’, – I never felt I was being asked to enter any rigid ritual practice, just some simple and respectful ways of entering into and emerging from the experience safely and patiently. Thank you for your tending Rudi, I hope to visit you again
I find on psychedelics one can notice another’s intentions and feelings more deeply and clearly. In that psychedelic space, for me, Rudi radiated wisdom, compassion, and gentleness; invaluable qualities that were so useful for my particular experience, and I imagine too for others experiences.
It was challenging for me to fully trust someone whom I had never previously met in real life (even though we had spoken via Skype on numerous occasions) but I trusted Rudi in that space; and I think Rudi’s qualities played a significant part in allowing me to do that.
Overall his facilitation was above and beyond. It was clear to me that he facilitates in a way that a standard psychotherapist cannot. It has now been a couple of months since our session together, and I really believe Rudi played a big part in making my experience so transformative.
Thank you for genuinely changing my life in positive ways Rudi.
Highly recommended. Rudi and Brid are lovely people, with an impressively comprehensive knowledge of psychoactive substances. The houseboat is beautiful and right on the lake. I was allocated a private double bedroom to retreat to, and feel as though I have a couple of friends for life!
We aim to reduce harm and stigma associated with psychedelics by helping to best inform users, offer tools to help with integration of their experiences, and a space for communal support. Learn more about our goals and intentions on the about page.
