The Team
Who We Are

Gerti Schön
"For 20 years, I had the privilege of working with people in their healing and emotional growth as a psychotherapist in New York City. I spent a long time in the Catskill Mountains and learned to connect deeply with nature. I now live and work in the Rolling Hills of the Main river Valley in Germany.
The fly agaric came into my life five years ago. Because of its consciousness-expanding qualities, it not only raised my own healing work, but also my ability to communicate with other beings to a new level."
Nora Mamblona Fischer
Nora Mamblona Fischer is a psychologist and neuroscientist, and is in the process of completing her doctorate at the California Institute of Integral Studies on the effects of the fly agaric. In her work, she combines her enthusiasm for science with therapeutic facilitation and shamanic practice - a path that is rooted, among other things, in the Shipibo tradition of the Peruvian Amazon.
At home between the Chiemgau Alps and the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, her path as a researcher and traveler takes her to indigenous communities and places of power around the world. In 2025 she founded the Amanita Online Congress, the Ayon Institute and the Reciprocity Foundation.


Franziska Bahr
As a special education teacher, Franziska Bahr has been supporting people with a wide variety of impairments and mental illnesses for many years. She sees herself as a companion for transitions - in times of change, growth and letting go. Through her work in a hospice, she is also able to carefully accompany people on their final journey in life.
She is passionate about bringing light into the world and supporting people in discovering their own resources, strengthening their self-efficacy and following their own personal path with more ease.
As an aspiring somatic process facilitator, she combines her work with fly agaric and embodiment. She also incorporates sound and energy work. With openness, compassion and trust, she accompanies people on their way back into connection with themselves and sees herself as part of a conscious change towards more connection and authenticity.
Laura Erceg-Simon
Laura Erceg-Simon lives with her family in Berlin, and occasionally in Croatia. She is interested in the interaction between art and healing. This path took her from acting to writing, puppetry, clowning, permaculture, and shamanism to Amanita Muscaria. She offers shamanic treatments and a space for exchange on Amanita Muscaria microdosing.
Here she explores the medicine of the group and of true independence. This is where the mushroom and the clown meet.
She is a member of the writing collective “Friends of Everyday Life” and is co-editor of the podcast “Echte Puppen" (Real Dolls).
