One long, colourful scroll. We hold medicine ceremonies, cut-and-paste socials, hand-made ceremonial carts and a podcast about the people who championed the plants.
Ceremony at Hideas is not solemn. It is warm, loud in places, and full of colour. We open with gratitude, pass cacao hand to hand, sit with the medicine, and close by writing down one intention small enough to actually keep.
ArriveTea, blankets, and no rush. Leave your shoes and your résumé at the door.
OpenOne round of gratitude out loud. Nobody performs; everybody speaks.
SitCacao, sound, and a facilitator holding the room for two slow hours.
CarryOne written intention, one token, and a group chat that keeps going.

Nature Loves Courage
Nature Loves Courage Medicine Ceremony
A two-hour held ceremony in a secluded spot in nature. The experience shares the same molecule as Ayahuasca, but a single journey lasts 20–30 minutes, so most participants take several journeys in one sitting. No food restrictions. Those on SSRIs, who are pregnant, or who feel this may conflict with their mental health should refrain.

07About Hideas
Celebrating the virtues of gratitude and intention setting through ceremonies and creative social events.
Hideas started around one kitchen table in Canada with a pot of cacao and a pile of scrap paper. We're still that: a small, colourful, hands-on circle that believes ritual should feel alive rather than reverent.
08Who Holds The Circle
The Facilitators
Two people, one kitchen table, twenty years of making rooms feel alive.
Victory Battle
Founder & Ceremony Facilitator
Victory has spent more than a decade building experiences where the audience is inside the moment rather than watching it. He joined the event production platform Artery in 2018, hosting intimate gatherings out of his Toronto loft studio, and was later chosen as their Event Ambassador.
Before that he designed corporate team-building through The Field Trip Program at Pursuit OCR — stripping away titles and seniority — ran Camp Pursuit for kids across the GTA, co-hosted live charity broadcasts for the Boobie Ball, and built the Dance On Cancer's Grave Relay For Life campaign in memory of his friend Danielle.
Hideas has since relocated from Toronto to British Columbia, where Victory now holds Nature Loves Courage medicine ceremonies and Token of Gratitude socials across Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, Vancouver and Lake Country.
Salar is a visual artist with over 12 years of experience — film, caricature, photography and collage all live under the same hand, and that is where Hideas visual language comes from.
In 2018 he ran a podcast about plant medicine for 18 episodes, and since then he has been in the discovery of different medicines to heal his own traumas and to help others overcome theirs.
He is currently a student of Human Garage, learning to help himself and the community release tension and trauma held in the body.
Nothing here is invented. If you’ve sat with us and want to share what the circle gave you — a sentence is plenty — send it over and we’ll ask before anything goes up, first name only if you prefer.
Legality, sobriety, cost, nerves, first circles. If it isn’t here, message us on WhatsApp — no question is too small.
Our public circles are cacao and breath-based ceremonies and creative socials — fully legal and open to everyone 19+. Cacao is a food. Anything outside that scope is not sold or advertised here; if you have questions about legality, ask us directly on WhatsApp.
11Contact & Socials
Say hello
Message us, follow along, or join the mailing list if you’re not ready to sit yet.
Hideas gathers on the unceded, ancestral territories of the Syilx (Okanagan), Secwépemc and Nlaka'pamux peoples, and on the lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. The medicines and rituals we hold come from Indigenous lineages around the world. We name them, we do not own them, and we ask everyone in the circle to sit with that gratitude.
