Our Approach
At UNIUN, our approach to healing is psychospiritual, meaning we recognize the intricate interplay between psychological and spiritual dimensions of the human experience. This approach integrates psychological insights with spiritual wisdom, fostering holistic healing that addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Why Psychospiritual?
A purely therapeutic approach often focuses solely on addressing psychological symptoms and distress, overlooking the deeper spiritual dimensions of human existence. Conversely, a purely spiritual approach may lack the practical tools and insights necessary for navigating psychological wounds and traumas.
By blending therapeutic techniques with spiritual practices, our approach offers a balanced and integrative path to healing. We provide the psychological support needed to navigate trauma and challenges, while also tapping into the profound wisdom and resilience of the human spirit, keeping it both grounded and luminous.

Our Ethos
We honor the beautiful truth that collective healing emerges from the intentional inner work of the individual. We are committed to centering the human heart, empowering each individual to embrace the natural unfolding process inherent in their life's journey. We hold sacred the understanding that nobody heals anyone else; rather, we hold compassionate space and faith for each person to embark on their transformative journey.
Our ethos is anchored in cultivating a deep comfort with and trust in the Great Mystery. With reverence and humility, we navigate the liminal spaces of expanded states of consciousness, recognizing that within these states lie opportunities for profound healing and personal growth.
We embrace an integrative approach to supporting individuals navigating expanded states of consciousness, drawing inspiration from diverse traditions such as psychology, spiritism, animism, and mysticism. Through this synthesis, we create a rich tapestry of practices and insights to guide participants on their inner exploration.

Our Story
Founded in 2024 by Niko Whitefeather and a core team of dedicated practitioners, UNIUN was born from the rapidly evolving psychedelic landscape in the United States. Drawing inspiration from the mycelial network—a powerful symbol of interconnectedness and growth—UNIUN arose as a response to the increasing demand for healing and harmony in a world grappling with deep mental, emotional, and societal challenges.
While the "Psychedelic Renaissance" holds great promise, it also presents significant challenges. In the U.S., the legal framework for psychedelic therapy often places profit over holistic healing, resulting in brief, costly sessions that lack integration, community, and a connection to nature. This reality motivated us to create an alternative: a retreat model centered on depth, safety, and authenticity, carefully curated and facilitated by our growing network of skilled practitioners.
UNIUN is also a testament to the understanding that healing, learning, and service occur simultaneously. It is a direct response to the pervasive belief many hold today: "I’m all alone, it’s all up to me, I am disconnected and can’t lean on others for support." This belief keeps us isolated, operating from a place of fear and separation, preventing us from fully opening our hearts. At UNIUN, we honor our interconnectedness and the strength that comes from being united. Our network is a call for collaboration—an invitation to come together, share expertise, and cultivate a multi-disciplinary, multi-perspective approach to healing. This is exactly what our times demand: a dynamic, evolving response to the personal and collective challenges we face.
Originally focused on psychedelics, UNIUN has since expanded to address every facet of the human experience. We explore life, death, liminality, sexuality, ecology, spirituality, psychology, mysticism, and much more. The Unbound Network for Integrative Unfolding and Navigation embodies the integration of practices across spiritual, therapeutic, and mystical traditions. This integrative approach touches the body, mind, heart, and spirit, creating a profound, coherent pathway toward healing.
Our work is a process of unfolding—one of revealing personal truths, hidden layers, and spiritual insights, ultimately leading to a more authentic and expanded self. This journey often connects us to the mystery and powerful potential within each of us. At the same time, true healing requires developing the inner compass necessary to navigate personal challenges, gifts, and callings. Through this navigation, we gain the wisdom and resources to transform our suffering and bring forward contributions that ripple out, impacting our communities and the world.
UNIUN is a network of integrative practitioners, seekers, and shared explorers, moving us all toward the recognition of our unity. Through this journey, we support each other in becoming unbound, yet deeply connected.
If you’re a holistic practitioner or feel called to collaborate, we’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re interested in joining our community, volunteering, participating in our offerings, or simply sharing your love, your support is invaluable. Interested in writing a blog, creating a course, or collaborating on a webinar? Reach out! Even positive thoughts, prayers, and warm encouragement contribute to the energy we’re cultivating together.
At UNIUN, we believe that growth and transformation are far more powerful (and enjoyable) in community, and we’re always open to expanding our network and welcoming new participants into our circles.
Whether our paths directly cross or not, we offer a sincere and heartfelt bow to you, wherever you are, and we thank you for your participation in these powerful times.
