Psychedelic Guide & Researcher / Yoga Teacher

Louis discovered the spiritual, therapeutic and transformative potential of psychedelics when he was 17, which led him to study Zen Buddhism, yogic philosophy, and indigenous nature-based traditions, and graduate from McGill University with majors in Psychology, Philosophy and Comparative Religion. Motivated and guided by his belief that psychedelic experience is a basic human right with important biological functions for the human organism and the planet, Louis seeks to democratize informed and responsible access to psychedelics through research, in addition to accessible, holistic and reciprocal community, education and support services rooted in a synthesis of scientific thought, ecopsychology and spiritual wisdom. Louis is the founder of Psygaia, contributed to the early development of Nectara’s integration program and is currently studying psychedelics from an interdisciplinary perspective at the University of Ottawa with the aim of pursuing a Master’s degree in Psychedelics & Consciousness Studies while completing his Psygaia hypothesis. As a trained and certified yoga and breathwork teacher, Louis currently teaches yoga, mindfulness meditation and conscious connected breathwork privately, at retreats, at the Paradise Valley Healing Centre, the Conscious Minds Clinic, and the Cedar Rock Centre in BC, Canada. In his free time, Louis loves backcountry skiing, trail running, writing, gardening, teaching, and designing.
