MAGS TANEV

I am an integration coach, retreat facilitator, and freelance writer and journalist with a deep interest in sacred plant medicines and the indigenous traditions that carry them.

In my work as an integration coach, I help individuals prepare for and integrate experiences with plant medicines, so they may turn into long-lasting, positive changes. Through a holistic understanding of the mind, body, and spirit, I support my clients in defining intentions, building tools to navigate journeys, unpacking and understanding medicine experiences, and weaving them into a life of more connection and purpose.

I am also the Head of Integration at Colibri Garden, where we host retreats and ceremonies with plant medicines and partner with indigenous wisdom keepers and traditional healers.

My mission with my writing is to provide engaging, original, and reliable information about the uses of sacred medicines and the traditions, lineages, and wisdom keepers behind them. 

I believe that at this critical moment of the Psychedelic Renaissance, it is more important than ever before to ensure that indigenous wisdom keepers and those practicing shamanic traditions are heard, respected, and revered.

I strive to do this through investigative research and interviews with primarily South American wisdom keepers, which help me weave their stories into my work, ensuring their perspectives are platformed.

I am also dedicated to helping newcomers to the psychedelic space access trustworthy and accessible information that guides them on their path with the medicines. My work in this area involves creating content, as well as co-facilitating an integration circle, with the goal to provide a safe space for individuals to discuss experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness and prepare for upcoming journeys.

I have a BA in History and Hispanic Studies and a Distinction-level MA in International Relations from the University of Nottingham, UK. In my spare time, I like (you guessed it) taking part in sacred medicine ceremonies, hiking in the mountains of Antioquia (where I live), and playing medicine music on the guitar.

I have published work on platforms such as EntheoNation, Tripsitter, Chacruna, Microdose Psychedelic Insights, Healing Maps, and Psychable. I am open to freelance work including journalism, blog writing and editing, copywriting, and video projects.
