Maggie Kirkwood
Certified Psychedelic Practitioner & Integration Coach
North Node™ offers several pathways for exploration, education, and integration.
Each is designed to meet you where you are and support what is ready to unfold.
If you are unsure where to begin, a conversation is always the best first step.
Initial conversations are exploratory
and confidential.

Integration is where transformation actually lives. For individuals who have had a significant experience and are ready to translate what emerged into how they think, lead, create, and live.
Through guided conversation and practical integration practices, we work to ensure insight becomes embodied and lasting.

Questions About the Work
-
North Node is an educational platform focused on awareness, perception, and personal evolution. Through workshops, immersive experiences, and guided integration, individuals and teams explore the internal patterns shaping how they think, create, and lead.
The work draws from neuroscience, contemplative practice, and emerging research around non-ordinary states of awareness to support thoughtful exploration and expanded perspective.
-
No. While North Node acknowledges the growing scientific and cultural interest in psychedelic-assisted exploration, the work itself is broader.
North Node focuses on perception, awareness, and the internal frameworks shaping how we think, create, and lead. Educational workshops, immersive experiences, and integration practices draw from neuroscience, contemplative traditions, and research around non-ordinary states of awareness.
For some individuals, responsibly exploring non-ordinary states may be part of that journey. For others, the work unfolds through reflection, dialogue, and contemplative practice.
-
No. North Node does not provide medical, psychological, or therapeutic services.
The work focuses on exploration, reflection, and integration rather than diagnosis or treatment. Participants seeking therapeutic support should consult a licensed healthcare professional.
-
North Node works with individuals, leaders, creatives, and teams navigating meaningful moments of growth, transition, or decision.
Participants are often seeking expanded perspective, deeper self-understanding, or new ways of approaching leadership, creativity, and personal evolution.
-
No prior experience is required.
Many participants are simply curious and exploring new perspectives for the first time. Experiences are designed to meet people where they are and unfold gradually through preparation, exploration, and integration.
-
North Node experiences are designed with preparation, clear structure, and thoughtful integration.
Conversations prior to any engagement help determine readiness and alignment, and experiences are intentionally composed to support clarity, responsibility, and care. The emphasis is always on thoughtful exploration rather than intensity.
-
This conversation is an opportunity to explore what you are navigating, ask questions, and determine whether a workshop, immersion, or another pathway may be appropriate. There is no pressure to move forward — clarity and alignment come first.
-
North Node is not designed to provide answers.
The purpose of this work is to create environments where individuals can explore awareness, perception, and internal patterns with clarity and curiosity. Through reflection, dialogue, and intentional exploration, many people find that the insight they need begins to emerge naturally.
Rather than directing outcomes, the work is designed to help people reconnect with their own capacity for perspective, understanding, and choice.
-
You can stay connected through the Minds On Mushrooms podcast, upcoming workshops, and future North Node offerings. If you'd like to explore working together, the best place to begin is a private conversation.
If this work resonates, the next step is simply a conversation.
