About Colette
Colette Condorcita Schmitt is a teacher, coach, activist, speaker, permaculturist, entrepreneur, and consultant in the psychedelic and regenerative design space. After healing complete paralysis nearly 25 years ago using practices she now teaches to clients, she has been on a path of studying nature and consciousness to achieve balance in life, healing, and personal growth. Colette supports individuals, groups, and retreats in finding the change they seek by utilizing transpersonal spaces of consciousness with and without entheogenic and psychedelic tools, to find their change. Colette merges modern-day neuroscience with a shamanic, integrative, and trauma-informed coaching framework. She identifies as Neurodivergent and supports many Neurodiverse clients to find the resources they need to overcome challenges in a Neurotypical world. She has been a perpetual student of nature, psychology, neuroscience, and consciousness for over twenty years.
