TESTIMONIALS

This experience completely changed my life. It made me see life in a whole new way and made me rethink everything I've done. I was dealing with depression at the time, to the point where I couldn't even enjoy music because I couldn't feel its rhythm. This was my state of mind before the experience, and it's what motivated me to go through with it. Afterward, I noticed a significant improvement in my mental health. Psychedelics allowed me to explore my inner self, and I was lucky to have Fernando as my therapist for this journey. I'm thankful for the months he spent helping me prepare for it, guiding me through it, and helping me uncover the areas that needed healing. If you're searching for a real spiritual experience, Fernando Hettiyadura is the perfect guide. He can help you find your path to self-healing. This experience is priceless; you can't put a value on it in terms of money. It's a journey that everyone should consider in their lifetime.

Embarking on a journey with plant medicine requires not just intent but also the right guidance. My experience with Fernando as a Psychedelic Practitioner and companion was nothing short of transformative. His expertise shone through every phase, from the meticulous preparation to the profound ceremony itself. During the preparation, Fernando’s approach to guiding both me and my journey companion was profound yet nurturing. He presented challenges with a loving touch, helping us to confront and embrace our inner landscapes in preparation for the journey ahead. The ceremony day was a revelation. Fernando led us through an exceptional meditation, a vital piece that perfectly set the stage for the ensuing journey. His skill in creating an environment conducive to profound introspection and spiritual exploration was evident. What truly set Fernando apart was his unwavering support and dedication to our integration process. His commitment to ensuring we could fully embrace and understand our experiences showed a depth of compassion and professionalism that is rare. For anyone serious about exploring the healing power of plant medicine, Fernando is an exemplary choice. His blend of empathy, expertise, and devoted guidance makes him an ideal Psychedelic Practitioner to accompany anyone on this transformative path.

I had been looking for the right kind of support for a while and happened to see one of Fernando’s seminars taking place nearby. I was skeptical at first to see what kind of people would be attending and whether it was right for me , but decided to go along and see for myself. Fernando himself had a really calming and friendly presence and I was quickly impressed by his knowledge, expertise and experience. I left that workshop full of interest and wanting to find out more. I reached out to him afterwards through Evolving Temple and it really was the best thing I could have done. The talks and discussions during our preparation meetings created a really safe space for me to explore what I had been going through and I just knew that I had been drawn to Evolving Temple for all the right reasons. I was gently guided through the process of the medicine ceremony and never could I have imagined how powerful that was for me to finally start my healing journey - in my 40s! I am so glad I was fortunate enough to meet Fernando and I am excited and hopeful for what is to come. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I highly recommend the Evolving Temple team!

I was diagnosed with four heart blockages and told I needed open-heart surgery. The doctor said my chances of survival were fifty–fifty. I was devastated and had no idea where to turn. By chance, I came across Fernando. At first, I reached out just to get help with my fear and anxiety. We began working together, and he guided me through a lot of mind, emotion and body-based therapy. Little by little, I began to realize that what I thought was only a physical issue was deeply connected to my mental and emotional state. With his support, I saw that my health challenges were tied to long-held fear, emotional stress and alcoholism. Eventually, I decided to join the retreat. The ceremony was beyond anything I could have imagined. In one of the ceremonies, I truly felt I encountered God, but within myself, and I came out of it as a different person. The insights I received about fear and worry were profound. Right after the ceremonies, I felt enormous relief, and the integration work that followed helped me anchor those changes in my life.

Soon after, I went back to my cardiologist for follow-up, and to all our surprise, the four blockages in my heart had disappeared and I was completely healed. The doctor called it a miracle, but for me I knew it was this treatment, not just psychedelic medicine but the work Fernando did with me for months. I am 74 years old now, if I had gone through that surgery six years earlier, I may not even be here today.

I can’t put into words how grateful I am to Fernando for his dedication, his care, and especially for the safety precautions he took to support me given my heart condition. This has truly been a life-saver for me, a miraculous journey. I wholeheartedly recommend this path to anyone seeking healing.

I lived with a deep loneliness, sadness and a pain I could not explain. I had lost my sense of meaning, and the struggles I carried were weighing me down every single day. I went from psychiatrist to psychiatrist, and they gave me many kinds of medicine. When I took the medicine, I would sleep all day and all night. When I stopped taking it, my body would shake uncontrollably, and I could hardly bear the dizziness and confusion. I knew the medication was addictive, and I felt trapped. I did not know where to turn - until I met Fernando. When I began working with Fernando and Lux, they gently guided me through many kinds of therapies that opened my eyes to something profound. My pain was not only physical and mental, but deeply rooted in my emotions and past adverse experiences. With patience and compassion, they helped me discover a strength within myself that I had long forgotten.

During the sacred ceremony, I experienced something I never thought possible. It felt as though a new possibility, for me to live my life with new meaning. I found relief from the fears and worries that had followed me for years, and I encountered a deep spiritual connection that gave me hope and faith. The ceremonies were truly transformative, and the integration process that followed helped me bring those lessons into my daily life.

My family noticed the difference right away. I became calmer, healthier, and more at peace. I feel renewed, as though I have been given another chance to live with joy and meaning. I am eternally grateful to Fernando and his sister Lux for their dedication, care, and for creating a safe space for my healing. This journey has changed my life, and I carry it forward with deep appreciation.

I carried a heavy burden that I did not know how to explain for many years. Stress, family responsibilities, and endless worry that left me feeling powerless and exhausted. It wasn’t only my mind that suffered, but also my body and spirit.

When I began working with Fernando, something shifted. He helped me see that the true roots of my suffering were not only in my circumstances, but in the unhealed emotions and traumas I had been carrying for a lifetime. And I never considered my past had traumatic experiences, I have heard the word, but I never knew about mental and emotional traumas and the way they sent me down the rabbit hole. With his deep compassion and loving guidance, I slowly began to release what I had held inside for so long.

With psychedelic treatment, I experienced a level of healing and clarity I never imagined possible. I felt a deep spiritual connection, as though I was being guided and supported in ways beyond words. The ceremonies opened the possibility of jumpstarting a new chapter in my life. The integration process that followed helped me bring those lessons into my everyday living. Today, I feel lighter, more peaceful, and more confident than I have in decades. Since then, I was promoted at work to a leadership position, and I intentionally created boundaries around toxic relationships. I have a much wider and higher understanding about life, world, society and myself. I feel like life has given me a fresh beginning filled with joy and meaning.

I am profoundly grateful to Fernando for his dedication, his safe and caring presence, and for walking with me through this mystical journey of healing. Thank you Fernando from the bottom of my heart.

I reached a point where my life felt like it was ending. I could no longer control my bladder or my bowels. I was deeply saddened and ashamed, and it touched every corner of my life. I went to all the specialist doctors and none of the medicine worked. My head felt tangled and heavy. I couldn’t think clearly; my mind was like a maze and I was lost inside it, drenched in sadness and hopelessness. I was almost ready to give up.

Then I met Fernando. From the very beginning, he treated me with patience and dignity, his approach was different from any doctor I have been to. He was deeply compassionate, he was truly interested to know about me, my situation, my needs, my fears. He worked with my body and my emotions at the same time, helping me slowly untangle the confusion inside me. Little by little, something shifted.

Within just a few weeks of the psychedelic treatment, the physical symptoms, the loss of bladder and bowel control disappeared. My mind cleared, my energy returned. People around me could not believe the change; they said I looked ten years younger. For the first time in so long, I felt confident again at the age of 60. I had a new sense of vitality and I even felt as though I could attract people rather than hide from them.

I reconnected with my spirituality. I never imagined such a transformation could happen. I am deeply grateful to Fernando for his compassion and his wisdom. This journey has given me back my dignity, my clarity, and my life back. This testimonial can not do the justice to the true transformation it created in me. If you don't know where to turn, reach out to Evolving Temple, speak to Fernando. Personally for me, he saved my life.
