Offerings & Services

Ceremony Preparation, Integration,

& Continued Shadow Work

If it's your first time, sat a 100 times, or you're a decade into self discovery, there comes a time when assistance and clarity is needed. Clarifying intention and mitigating expectations are some of the biggest factors for setting yourself up for success. So let's get you to the clarity of starting at the bedrock of your work,  and not out at the peripheral edges of your healing where you are wasting time cutting through the fluff of your intermediary consciousnesses. The bedrock as I call it is your actual subconscious. So If we can quickly cut through the intermediary layer we get to the heart of the matter, saving a lot of medicine, energy, and time. So get clear.

We also want to mitigate expectations. Please understand expectations are about control. Resisting the experience or forcing your idea on it will make it "not fun" "real fast". So we do our best to accept that we don't know what's going to happen. It's okay not to know. And at the heart of this is surrender, allowance, and giving in - each one a deep dive into trust and letting go. However, we have strong will power, authority issues, and we love being stubborn so we can al least control one thing in life... our suffering. So the more you let go the sweeter the ride will be. That's a great mantra for medicine and life. Be wise and prepare well, and let me assist you with finding clarity and tools to navigate your journey with ease and grace.

​​

I highly recommend if this is your first time do not research anything on the internet. You'll only find extreme information. Don't put stupid stuff in your head before you have your own experience.

Experience is the greatest teacher and rooted in reality.

So sit before you research.

Remember that "surprise" is Grace's greatest weapon

against the mind and the wounded self!

So be surprised...

 So now you've had an experience! Sometimes medicine journeys can be hard to process.

~ Maybe you felt too much

~ Maybe too little

~ Maybe none of it makes sense

~ Maybe !@%^#&#^$#!

~ Maybe you just want a sounding board

These are all totally normal responses to an altered-state-deep-dive into your subconscious.

In these moments I find perspective and context to be our biggest allies.

​​​

Having another way to look at something is the difference between suffering and joy. 

So we take our experiences, and with awareness,

we turn them into new perspectives.

Thus taking the seed of experience and planting it.

If we don't consciously plant the seeds of our new perspectives they can be lost,

or the mind (ego) can corrupt them and use them against us.

In my time I've held space for and witnessed so many flavors and extremes, that almost nothing surprises me any more. I haven't seen it all, but after 400+ ceremonies I have wealth of context and calm.

Seeing, distilling, simplifying the truth is what I can offer an unclear perspective.  

​​

The ongoing process of diving in again and again, seeking lost parts of your self,

and healing and re-educating from the immature decisions that were made at an very young age can find itself manifest in numerous ways. And with numerous challenges. Impasses, confusion, stagnation, and lack of clarity can leave you in heaviness and doubt!

If you do this inner work long enough you'll most likely experience all of these moments. The truth is, we all have an infinitely unique story, and yet our subconscious is all organized and built the same. Once you learn the basic road map of the subconscious it's much easier to navigate and see how wounds and mental cords are connected and knotted.

You don't need eyes to navigate the unseen, you need comprehension.

So take advantage of my vast wealth of experience from my own inner exploration.

We all need companions and guides at times!

Let me say this clearly.

"You must be willing to follow through."


If you open cords or channels and don't tend to them,
the mind will now know what you're working on, how to defend it, and hide it 10x better,
making both the medicine's and your job harder.
Which it will do very quickly!


"It is better to be ignorant than to open up inner work and not follow through!"

So let's work together and find a way to minimize your suffering,
while giving you the greatest opportunities
and support for your healing and growth!

Meet your Guide
Prem Vidu

Prem Vidu has been in deep service to Grandmother Medicine (Ayahuasca) since 2003 and has lead over 400 ceremonies across America, and has held space, and given guidance, to thousands of seekers.

Through that service a few wonderful gifts developed. One of these was being able to see into a person's subconscious, an ability to sense and feel the cords that bind traumas and false beliefs, and the clarity and wisdom to untangle them. He found that doing this before each journey the seekers' healing process was more easeful and efficient. Saving so much time by cutting the loose material and getting to the heart of the matter quicker (the bedrock of your work). Essentially, not wasting time by clearing fluff out of the way.

Along the way he met Prem Baba, a guru from India, who was a Santo Diame shaman (medicine church in Brazil) at 16 years old, a psychologist at 24, awakened at 33, and a few years later received the lineage of the Sachcha Dham in Rishikesh. He brought the eastern and western, indigenous and yogic wisdoms together in a brilliant way. Vidu worked intensely with him for 4 years and is where he learned to navigate the road map of the subconscious. Although we all have our own infinitely unique story all the subconscious in all of us is structured and organized in the same way.

Learn the road map and you know the way through.

In the service to the journeyer, or anyone who is doing inner work, he brings to bear more than 2 decades of experience from holding and leading space, his gifts of sight and intuition, and a deep and intense study of the subconscious. And as many have said,

"a deep grounding presence and a big open heart."

Several months ago, I began shadow work with Vidu, and I've been consistently struck by his extraordinary ability to support me on my healing journey. His deep compassion and profound understanding of the unconscious are unlike anything I've ever experienced. For the first time, I feel as though I'm finally moving in the right direction!

N.R.

I have had the impeccable Grace of working with Vidu closely and my entire life has improved. I was previously debilitated with illness, and am now more functional than I’d been in the last 5 years. Vidu made shining the flashlight upon the shadows of my mind approachable and healing. I’ve been able to face core wounds in ways I couldn’t previously access, and in the process, regain my strength. Vidu has a unique and unparalleled vision into the subconscious; he can see where wounds are rooted, and can help you to lovingly unweave the tapestry of hurt, pain and suffering, and free yourself.

A.M.H.

Healing work has so many ups and downs, and pain points along the way. Having someone like Prem Vidu, with such clear sight and an open heart, to walk alongside and guide me through this process has been a real blessing on this journey. I’ve worked with him before and after sitting with plant medicine for support with intention-setting and integration, and continued working with him in between to process and heal issues I was struggling with for a lifetime. I so appreciate and value this light that he shares with others on this path. Working with Prem Vidu is good medicine.

E.M.

In testimonial gratitude, I would recommend to anyone seeking the inward journey to comprehend the Shadow, to sit in sacred community with Prim Vidu/Garden of insight. Vidu has a way of calling-in the shadow parts, that which exhaust the Soul, the guardians of psychic shocks and the unseen, that resists coming into the Heart of heart’s core, I knew I was in the right place when those hidden parts expressed an indescribable desire to fight/flee so they could stay; to exist, as soon as Vidu spoke. It felt awesome to voluntarily drop the masks and through raw vulnerability, negotiate and integrate new healing agreements. To give wounds a space to close, wounds that had been kept open by my projections and judgements.”
P.S.H.
Over the last summer I had the pleasure of being able to sit in a session with Prem Vidu before my ceremony. The ceremony itself held my biggest break through to date. I owe a good amount of that to the prep that I was able to do with him. If our intentions leading into ceremony and these spaces are our swords, then Prem Vidu is the wet stone we should use to sharpen them. Working with him helped me refine my intention to get down to the EXACT root of the symptoms I was bringing to the table. During the process I was held in compassion, empathy while also being motivated to look deeper. To press into the undercurrents of what I thought I needed to work on. What works though Prem Vidu is a gift to the world. I would not hesitate to say that anyone planning on sitting in any plant medicine retreat, or ceremony, would benefit tenfold by working with Prem Vidu before hand. My experience, my breakthrough would not have happened if I had not worked with him. I am so grateful to the work that he brought to my life and the world.

I've had more breakthroughs in a handful of sessions with Vidu than I have with years of therapy with my $400-an-hour psychologist in NYC. HIs guidance through integration helped tremendously after a ceremony where I was left with more questions than answers. But his grasp of psychology is vast — enough so that I continued to work with him for months after. He also has an intuitive quality about him that sees right through your bullshit. From a spiritual standpoint, he's helped me clear a ton of negative energy, called me out on my own negative patterns and has helped me "level up" my own frequency to where I'm attracting more ease in my career and higher-quality partners.
D.K.
I am very grateful to have been introduced to Vidu in preparation for my first medicine ceremony. In my somewhat long experience working in therapeutic and personal development spaces, I have really appreciated finding facilitators who really get the inner work needed to be a fully expressed and present human being. Vidu is one of these facilitators. He passionately holds a standard of accepting all expression, all the feelings, all the everything, while not bullshitting people about the practical work needed to evolve out of old habits and into new ones. Our whole group benefitted from his generosity: his facilitation, his encouragement, how he did his own work, and his understanding of the psychological components that bring us to where we are, where are blocked, and pathways to move to new beliefs, behaviors and actions. I learned exactly what I needed to know about what to expect, how to intend, and how to partner with the medicine to get the greatest bang for my buck before, during, and now after.
J.E-D.
In a single session Vidu helped me reach the roots of some issues. Like a straight arrow, cutting through all the BS and getting straight to the point. And he did so with the utmost compassion, great intengrity in his word, and a genuine heart. So many of his words and the insights our time together had brought to light have been with me everyday since.
Vidu is highly skilled and it is truly a gift to find yourself in his presence, and in his sessions.
S.J.B.
Working with Vidu is truly a gift. He showed up for me with compassion and presence. Vidu guided me through my jumbled thoughts and helped me see the root of my internal conflicts. With his guidance I was able to go deeper in ceremony and had many breakthroughs I may have not experienced without his help. I look forward to learning and growing with him in the future. He is a gift to this Earth and anyone who chooses to work with him

Prem Vidu was an unexpected bonus at a special weekend ceremony I attended.  Our encounter was not extensive but the brief comments he made, had a very profound impact on my journey.  I began with a whole lot of emotional baggage that I had been accumulating over the years.  Vidu had insights that were surprising to me and actually brought tears to my eyes.  He hit on issues I wasn't aware of but realized immediately that they were at the core of my struggles.  I took the next 3 months to delve into the dark areas and find the lessons behind the pain, which allowed me to let go of all of the baggage.  I am still integrating the lessons into new and better ways to live my life.  I will always be grateful for the chance encounter that helped me find my way.
S.K.
Vidu has made me feel radically seen during our sessions. He moves beyond my words, my stories, my emotions and he gets straight into what my soul is seeking. He extracts the gold from the subtleties. I can tell that Vidu is living out his soul’s dharma and is intended to be serving others as they embark on the stickiness of being a human being. He has guided me to find the truth within myself and to learn how to heal myself. 
I have a lot of fear and resistance to being vulnerable, I’ve built a very impressive castle around myself that I myself have forgotten how to get into at most times. In just a few minutes working with Vidu, he found a door in that has opened up the realm of healing possibilities.
Vidu has met me with a full heart to understand the things I can’t see yet. It’s impossible to put my gratitude into words for the work that Vidu is doing!
E.J.
The healing and blessings I have experienced through working with you have been transformative in immeasurable ways. Thank you Prem Vidu all my love always❤️
T.W.
The balance of delicacy & empowerment behind this work is truly transformative! It is true cultivation of self love & worthiness through mantra & neural pathway rewriting. Not only did I feel safe and supported, a huge part of the healing for me was being authentically seen and accepted by myself and my guide(s). So much gratitude for this medicine!
I.D.

My one-on-one session with Vidu provided the key that opened my eyes to a brand new perspective on my life.  Vidu's guidance gave focus and purpose to my purging during the ceremony, allowing me to finally let go of the guilt and negative voices that I had been listening to most of my life. In not much more than half an hour talking with Vidu, I made more progress toward understanding and forgiving myself than I achieved in over 15 years of therapy with highly rated psychiatrists and psychologists. Now I have a brand new perspective that enables me to embrace the present with hope and enthusiasm.  Even more miraculous is the kinder and gentler appreciation I now have about my past.

B.P.

I am abundantly blessed and so grateful for the insight Vidu provides when doing the inner or shadow work. Each time I've had a session with him I'm amazed at how he's able to cut through the surface BS, & get to the root & the truth of what's ready to be released or healed. And then he helps me create new neuropathways so I can continue to live & respond differently to life.
Thank you Vidu for sharing this gift with the world with so much love and compassion.
D.M.
Prem anchors the healing process so it does not emerge as a chaotic hindrance to one's life path, but as an intricate unfolding of beauty enraptured by the very soul potential that had previously sat dormant inside itself. I am honored to know and witness an angel who is unafraid of all things human. A bridge between worlds, a weaver of the sky and the earth. He is the intersection between presence and ascent.
M.A.
