Applications for Air Season & Full Year are now open!✨
UNGOVERNABLE
UNAPOLOGETIC
UNSHAKEABLE
UNFUCKWITHABLE
Become the revolutionary & radical Medicine for your own damn life.
Through psychedelic medicine retreats, elemental alchemy, ceremonial circles and a community who will not let you turn back, you will shed what was never yours & break the spells that keep you circling in your patterns.
You will become the Divine Creatrix of your own life.
Join for a Season, or for the whole year! 💫
I see you, Beloved.
✨You’ve been in therapy for years, read the books, said the affirmations, sat in the workshops. You’ve been working so hard to heal and level up.
✨You are ready to stop processing endlessly without finding the exit. You are unwilling to spend another year circling the same patterns and strewing in the same damn problems.
✨You have found yourself standing at a threshold – not who you once were, but not yet who you are meant to become. You are standing at an edge you can feel in your bones but cannot seem to cross by yourself.
✨You are ready to become unhookable. Unshakeable. Unwavering in your self-trust and your self-love. Unavailable to the patterns that once ran your life.
✨You are ready to become the main character of your own damn life. The one who stopped waiting to be saved and became the medicine instead.
✨You are on the brink of a huge life change, on the brink of an identity shift, on the brink of becoming the sovereign, fully alive, grown-ass adult you’ve always known you could be.
✨You know you want to make this change, but you are struggling to find the courage to crossover. You struggle to see the path ahead. You are afraid to cross this threshold alone...
You do not have to go it alone.✨
Welcome to The Cauldron, Beloved!
My name is Anu
and I am the Head Witch of The Cauldron.
I see you standing at the precipice of your power...and I am so glad you are here!
I am your Threshold Guide for all of the epic, life-altering portals that you will walk through in The Cauldron.
I am the Queerdo Weirdo Witch your mother warned you about, the
Initiatrix who will midwife your massive transformations the moment you say YES to this wild ride!
I weave this alchemical chamber with the medicine and magic from the hard won wisdom of a thousand initiations and fires I have walked myself through.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CROSS THIS THRESHOLD ALONE.
I can't wait to hold the torch while you cross over into your most radically alive & unshakeable self!
Seasonal 6 Week Elemental Initiations
It's go time, Beloveds.✨
The time for rapid evolution & transformation is NOW.
What was once a year-long journey in The Cauldron has concentrated itself into 4 individual six week seasons of full force elemental, alchemical immersion and initiation.
Each season is built around one element, one life stage, one specific territory of the soul--each containing the complete arc of preparation, ceremony, and integration.
Each season is complete unto itself. Each one its own threshold crossing.
✨Every Cauldron Season Contains...
Weekend Medicine Retreats
This is where the quantum leaps take place.
Each seasonal retreat is a two-night ceremonial immersion guided by the fierce intelligence of the elements, supported by sacred psilocybin, and designed to crack you open, clear what was never yours, and initiate you into the next version of yourself.
This is not a wellness weekend. This is not a spa retreat.
This is an initiation.💫
You will share meals, laughter, a sauna, and the small sacred moments between peak experiences. You will dance, breathe, sing, alchemize and build trust together with a small group of fellow threshold-crossers. You will be witnessed in your breaking open and your becoming.
When one person heals in a room like this, it ripples out into the whole field.
About the Medicine
Psilocybin Mushrooms are the fastest, most potent path to quantum leaping across the thresholds you have been circling.
The great teachers. The great alchemizers. The great composters.
Psilocybin drops the default mode network and connects you directly with all of life and the divine, taking you deeper into your shadow, your trauma and your truth than anything else on earth. They reveal what is in the way. They show you who you are becoming. They open the door to your next chapter when nothing else can find it.
We don't have time to spend ten years in therapy getting there. You are ready now. The world needs your medicine now.
These sacred mushrooms, held with skill, reverence and deep ceremonial intention, will change your life.
Fire Retreat 2024
Water Retreat 2025
Consumption of psychedelics is always optional at our retreats.
Psilocybin is just one of the many tools we use to access expanded states & transformation. Many participants find the depth of ritual, community, creativity, and elemental work alone to be profoundly healing and transformative.
Whether or not you choose to work with medicine, you will be fully held in the transformational ceremonial field.
For those new to Psychedelics, a 1:1 Prep Session with Anu will be required.
This year we are excited to be hosting our retreats at Fifth Dimension Retreat Center - an up and coming five-acre ceremonial sanctuary in Roy, WA - just an hour south of Seattle!
Anchored by a beautiful bohemian-inspired yurt, adorned with altars and mandala tapestries, the space is intentionally designed for medicine work, ceremony and soul transformation.
Enjoy spa amenities like a cedar sauna, hot tub, and outdoor showers, along with cozy lodging in a guesthouse, bell tents, or communal yurt space. The land offers open fields, forest trails, and a fire circle, inviting rest, reflection, and connection with the Earth.
Don't Live in the Seattle Area?
Don't worry! There is a semi-distance format for you to join The Cauldron!
The semi-distance path allows you to join all ceremonial circles, retreat preparation, and integration sessions via Zoom. You’ll receive your printed guidebooks by mail to support your home practice.
In-person attendance at the retreats is required, and you’ll be responsible for your own travel. Our team will help coordinate carpools and transportation support to make your journey as easeful as possible.
The Many Layers of The Cauldron Container...
Elemental Alchemical Circles
Every circle is its own alchemical chamber. A ritual space designed to peel back another layer, prime your nervous system for change and build the courage you need to cross your own threshold.
We weave together elemental teachings, sacred witnessing, song & sound, shamanic journeywork, somatic movement and ritual crafting. These are the tools that help you alchemize what is ready to be released and cultivate the frequency you are stepping into.
Preparation & Integration Sessions
My elders taught me that ceremony is 90% preparation. Integration is what makes the transformation permanent.
Your preparation session grounds and orients you before the retreat. Your integration sessions weave your insights, peak experiences and frequency shifts into the fabric of your daily life. This is how the magic becomes permanent. This is how the quantum leap actually sticks.
Online Temple Space
A private sacred space for continued connection, integration and deepening between sessions. Weekly rituals, elemental inquiries, seasonal playlists, community reflection and ongoing support to keep you rooted in the frequency of your becoming.
Guidebooks & Workbooks
Full color high quality printed materials to help document your journey of transformation.
Vocal Transmissions
Personalized sound transmissions created specifically for you — by the facilitators who have witnessed your process, walked with you through the fire and know exactly where you are on your journey.
Small Group Container
Each season is intimate by design, with only 8 participants maximum. Because your transformation deserves deep witnessing, individualized support and the kind of soul-level community that only happens in small, intentional containers.
8 is the number of wholeness and completion. This is not a random number.
Sovereignty can only be solidified in connection.
Cauldron Buddies
We grow in equal proportion to our courage. Our courage grows in equal proportion to our sense of belonging and relational safety.
Your Cauldron buddy is your companion through this initiation — someone who walks alongside you, witnesses your process, and reminds you of who you are becoming when the path gets hard. Because no one should make the biggest changes of their life feeling alone.
Now Enrolling for AIR!🪶
May 7th-June 18th, 2026
Retreat: May 29th-31st
🜁 INNER CHILD RECLAMATION • BREATH & VOICE • JOY 🜁
Reclaim your inner child. Activate your voice. Return to the joy, the play, the radical aliveness that was always yours.
Blow away everything that stands between you and the most authentic, whole and radically alive version of yourself.
Air Season Frequency:
Sparkling. Effervescent. Whimsical. Wildly, unapologetically alive.
This is the season of belly laughs and bare feet. Of saying the true thing out loud and feeling your whole body sigh with relief. Of creating just because it delights you. Of moving your body like nobody's watching — because you finally stopped outsourcing your belonging.
Joy so big it surprises you. Play so free it feels illegal. Whimsy so potent it cracks you open. A voice so activated it stops you in your tracks. A body so liberated it finally feels like home. A creative force so alive it scares you a little — in the best possible way.
This is what it feels like to come home to yourself.
But...what if you said yes to a whole freaking year?!✨
There is profound magic in committing to the full wheel. In being witnessed through every element, every season, every threshold — by a community and team who holds the wholeness of your entire story from beginning to end.
One season will crack you open. Four seasons will make you unrecognizable.
If you show up fully for this year, we guarantee your entire world will change. We have watched it happen every single time. This is radical. This is revolutionary. This is the quantum leap your soul has been asking for.
Full Year Bonuses:
Those who commit to the full year receive a significant investment discount
(we're talking $2,000 off!)
AND receive a private 1:1 integration session with Anu between EACH season to keep the magic and the momentum moving all the way through!
What does it actually mean to become the revolutionary medicine your life has been waiting for?
Over the past 2 years of The Cauldron we have witnessed miraculous transformations.
We've witnessed folks finding the courage to leave longstanding toxic relationships and step into great, healthy aligned love, beginning with a profound and revolutionary love of themselves.
They have gone from a wounded inner child running every important decision of their life to a sovereign, grown-ass adult with full agency in their own story.
People have walked into the Cauldron believing they were poison and walked out knowing they are the medicine. Not just for their own lives. For the whole world.
Folks have crossed the threshold from feeling like they didn't belong on this planet to knowing in their bones that they are a daughter of the earth.
They have exited decades of codependency, self-hatred and body shame. They have alchemized systems of supremacy and oppression that were living in their nervous systems and found liberation on the other side.
They have left careers that no longer fit who they were becoming and stepped into their soul's purpose.
They have made courageous decisions about their bodies, gender affirming surgery, treatments for chronic illness — finally in full alignment with who they actually are.
They have developed psychic gifts, crossed into true elderhood, and built lives more vibrant, layered and soul-fulfilling than they ever thought possible.
This is what happens when you stop circling your patterns and step all the way in.
This is what The Cauldron does.
✨Meet Your Cauldron Team✨
Avah Lux Yeruka Anu
Head Witch of The Cauldron
Avah Lux Yeruka Anu (she/her) is a threshold guide, initiatrix, catalyst of spiritual coherence, and architect of alchemical chambers. She is the visionary, creator and Head Witch of The Cauldron: You Are the Medicine.
Through ceremony, ritual, sound and expanded states of consciousness, Anu weaves multidimensional sacred spaces where people reconnect with self and spirit, remember their magic and reclaim their power to become the medicine this world needs.
With over two decades of experience creating and leading ceremonial spaces, Anu is known for weaving safety, depth and potency into containers that catalyze real, lasting, life-changing transformation.
A psychedelic guide, sound healer, singer, alchemist, poet, witch and devotee of the Goddess Hekate, Anu's work is multi-sensory and multi-dimensional — rooted in ritual, sound and vibration, somatic and shamanic practices, earth-based wisdom and sacred mushroom medicine.
She holds a Master's Degree in Women's Spirituality with an emphasis in the sacred arts, healing and women's mysteries, and is certified in Sound, Voice and Music Healing — both from the California Institute of Integral Studies. She is also certified in Psychedelic Therapy and Integration through Vital with Psychedelics Today, and has completed a mentorship in Grief Tending with Sacred Groves.
Anu holds space and your tender truths as the kind, caring, constant and grounded Earth Mother, but breaks curses, rewrites contracts, and cuts away all that no longer serves like the fierce, ferocious and fearless Dark Goddess.
Gabriel Raven Yeruka
Co-Facilitator, Space Holder & Business Wizard
Gabriel Raven Yeruka (they/he) is a somatic alchemist and licensed massage therapist who co-facilitates The Cauldron with deep care, steadiness, and precision. Their training in myofascial listening, nervous system attunement, and subtle energy awareness deeply informs how they hold ceremonial and psychedelic space, supporting participants in arriving more fully into their bodies before, during, and after medicine work. Gabe’s stable presence helps integration land not only cognitively, but somatically and relationally, allowing the body to become an ally in transformation rather than something to override.
As a queer, trans, and chronically ill practitioner, Gabe brings a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-aware and radically inclusive approach to group facilitation. Within The Cauldron, they tend both embodiment and logistics as sacred structures of care, holding the visible and invisible systems that allow the work to unfold smoothly and safely.
With quiet confidence and deep listening, Gabe offers grounding presence, practical support, and steady containment, helping create a container where bodies can soften, orient, and move through altered states, ritual, and collective healing with greater safety, trust, and agency.

So, Who is The Cauldron for?
There are only 8 spaces available for this once in a lifetime journey.
We will be honest, we know The Cauldron is not for everyone.
This container is only for those who are ready to step into the alchemical fires of transformation, meet themselves fully, and walk a path of sacred devotion, deep healing, and communal magic.
The Cauldron is for you if:
-
You’ve been on your healing path for a while, but are longing for a full identity & frequency shift.
-
You’ve touched big magic in retreats or ceremonies, but are desiring to stay connected to beauty and expansion in your every day life.
-
You know in your bones that you’re not meant to heal alone and you're ready to be witnessed, supported, and held accountable to your own healing by a sacred circle.
-
You are ready to open new doors with psychedelics and come into deeper relationship with the Medicine in a sacred, ceremonial and communal container.
-
You have the space, capacity and time to devote to your own healing and show up fully for yourself and others.
-
You’re open-hearted, courageous, and willing to be vulnerable in community.
The Cauldron is open to all gender identities and welcomes souls from diverse backgrounds, cultures, spiritual paths, and lived experiences.
This is a queer and trans-affirming, anti-racist, body neutral space devoted to the liberation of all beings.
Who the Cauldron isn't for...
Because of the depth and intensity of this work,
The Cauldron may not be the right fit for everyone.
The Cauldron is not a quick fix, a solo journey, or a casual retreat experience. This container is not for those currently in acute crisis, without sufficient personal or relational support to hold deep inner change, or those who are not available for ongoing integration and home practice.
It is also not the right fit if you are unable or unwilling to engage in vulnerable, community-based healing — including the capacity to witness and be present with other people’s stories of pain, grief, and transformation.
Due to the nature of the medicine work, this program is not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or contraindicated medications. (See application)

The Cauldron is right for you?

About the Container
The Cauldron is a sacred container for healing, liberation, and re-connection.
This space is devoted to unraveling the deep wounds of patriarchy, white supremacy, religious trauma, heteronormativity, fatphobia, and other systems of oppression that disconnect us from ourselves, each other, and the Earth. Together, we untangle outdated conditioning, survival patterns, and limiting beliefs so we can remember who we are beneath them.
We believe that healing is not meant to happen in isolation. Our deepest wounding happens in relationship—and so too must our healing. In The Cauldron, we allow ourselves to be transformed by the magic and alchemy of sacred community.
We hold one another with compassion and accountability in service to both personal and collective liberation.
Our spiritual practices are rooted in eclectic, earth-based, pagan and neo-pagan traditions, honoring the wisdom of the Elements, the Wheel of the Year, and the cycles of nature. We honor that there is no single path to transformation, and that truth lives in many spiritual and ancestral lineages.
The Cauldron is also deeply grounded in the transformative power of sacred psychedelics, specifically psilocybin mushrooms, as tools for healing, remembering, and returning to wholeness.
You were never meant to heal alone.
So, if you are ready to cross the threshold and become:
UNGOVERNABLE
UNAPOLOGETIC
UNSHAKEABLE
UNFUCKWITHABLE
And become the revolutionary & radical Medicine for your own damn life...
Applications for Air/Full Year are due May 3rd!✨
