About Psychedelic Actualization
Our Vision:
The ultimate vision behind Psychedelic Actualization is to offer every human being the opportunity to reconnect with the aspect of itself that is always already whole by empowering him to realize his freedom to take responsibility for his purification and awakening that leads to the authentic, joyous, and loving expression of conscious creating inside the continuous self emergence of physical existence.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide a holistic, mature and practical approach to the psychedelic experience that helps you on your path to prepare for your experience and to integrate the insights and realizations you gain to the best of your ability.
What is "Psychedelic Actualization"?
Psychedelic Actualization refers to our approach to the psychedelic experience.
It implies that we responsibly work with these substances with the intent of Self-Actualization and Self-Realization.
We can think of Self-Actualization as the full realization of our creative, intellectual, and social potential through an intrinsic motivation. It is the tendency for us to become actualized in what we are potentially. This tendency might be phrased as the desire to become more and more of what one truly is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming.
Another experience that the work with these substances can enable us to have is a “peak experience”. The two domains of peak experiences the psychologist Abraham Maslow described are the relative and the absolute. Relative characterize those peak experiences in which there remains an awareness of subject and object, and which are extensions of the individual’s own experiences. They are not true mystical experiences, but rather inspirations, ecstasies, and raptures.
Absolute peak experiences are characteristic of mystical experiences and are comparable to experiences of great mystics in history. They are timeless, spaceless, and characterized by unity, in which the subject and object become one.
Maslow called the attainment of this “ absolute peak experience” transcendence and considered it to be the Ultimate Experience a human being could have.
I hope that my work can provide you with a framework of how to prepare for such an experience, live through it and properly integrate it into your own individual, unique process of Self-Actualization and Self-Realization. It’s good to know that others have already crossed this ocean before you, and have found wonders on “ the other side”, that enriched not only their lives but the planet as a whole.
Working with Psychedelics to get these results is a skill that can be learned.
For thousands of years, our ancestors have used psychedelic plant medicines as tools for healing and transformation and we are blessed to continue this work in our own way.
Our Values
I commit to taking 100% responsibility for EVERYTHING and am open to renegotiating agreements if I cannot fulfill what I originally intended to or promised to satisfy.
I have nothing to hide. I commit to being open and honest regarding every single thing. I dedicate my life to Truth and will never pretend to know something I don’t.
I commit to always providing value to the best of my ability and to only work with people whom I can truly help. I am highly dedicated to providing as much value as I possibly can.
I commit to serve in selfless devotion to the divine and to always be as present, conscious, loving, and kind as I can in every moment of interaction. This work is not about me. I can serve as a mirror and a clear reflection, but each individual must do his or her own work and go through his or her own process.

About Me:
Hey, I’m Vergo!
My life purpose is to lead people to the realization of Infinite Love and Infinite Self-Understanding by the embodiment and demonstration of Infinite Love and Infinite Self-Understanding in my own life. I am realizing that through my ability to bring back and communicate insights about Truth and Love from my own psychedelic experiences to educate people about and guide people through their own psychedelic journeys. The function of my life is to demonstrate the Goodness and Magnitude of God, Love, and Psychedelics to those who are inspired and courageous enough to seek it out and to help them integrate and embody their insights in their own life.
Psychedelic Actualization is part of the realization of that vision that guides you through the steps of how to work with these powerful substances responsibly to live a more fulfilling, authentic, and self-actualized life.

My Story:
When I was 15 years old, I first heard about psychedelics through the talks from Alan Watts, Ram Dass, and Terence McKenna on YouTube. From that point on, I was hooked. And until today, altered states of consciousness and psychedelic substances remain the things I am most fascinated by in this life.
My approach from the beginning has been one of working with these medicines with the intention of self-discovery, self-actualization, and self-realization as I discovered spirituality and personal growth at the same time. My previous pessimistic existential nihilism turned into a recognition of the divine beauty and infinite intelligence of consciousness that is all around us in the ever-present moment we call “now”. It ignited my passion for life for the first time since I was a child, and I am eternally grateful for that.
After exploring these realms deeply over the years and learning from many “mistakes” (like taking 5 grams of mushrooms by myself in silent darkness at the age of 16 without proper preparation or hiking through a snowstorm on LSD), I feel dedicated and inspired to help others on their journey of using the entheogenic experience in a mature way as a catalyst for self-transformation and god-realization.
Personally, psychedelics have been the most effective tool I have found to tap into the most authentic expression of myself, and I am committed to sharing these experiences and the tools to integrate the insights we gain with those who feel called to try them for themselves. For years, I have been obsessed with the topic, and every day I learn more about the fields of shamanism, psychedelic research, and self-actualization.
My Passions:
Deep Psychedelic exploration in exotic settings like smoking DMT in a Pyramid or searching for the Kambo frog in the Amazon Jungle
Or just going deep inside at home with an eyemask and good headphones ...
Traveling the world, being in nature, and dancing around a fire surrounded by beautiful people with good music to worship creation
Sharing my insights and experiences with the world on YouTube + working hard to realize my ultimate vision of building a holistic retreat center for Psychedelic Actualization
Fun Fact: I love to play Pokémon!
Gotta stay grounded somehow, right 😉
