Manifesting Your Potential
After the retreat
Most importantly, these ceremonies are group ceremonies, with daily integration circles, nature activities, and mindfulness ceremonies. Most of all, we experience our profound healing in relationships together.
As you know, each of us has our unique life story and thus a constellation of impacts that we keep, sometimes more guarded than others due to feeling alone. As a result, this keeps us from seeing the commonality and humanness that we all share with life stresses, events, and traumas; more importantly, it can stop us from seeing, hearing, and feeling ourselves and others, within the intimacy of relationships with others. This is the core of it, and stops us from accepting, validating, and loving ourselves and others. Unless you understand what happened to you, you end up not seeing all the potential in you and being in relationships with others from their potential.
If you have ever done group work, you know that what makes group work so relieving is this process of unveiling, showing that every unique feeling, thought, and experience is also the lived experience of us all. Most importantly, when we share things such as shame, self-blame, stigma, secrecy, suicide attempts, etc. we make great strides in therapy with our subjective experiences giving everyone authenticity to heal.
Psilocybin therapy is an approach being investigated for the treatment of mental health challenges. It combines the pharmacological effects of psilocybin, a psychoactive substance, with psychological support.
Early research carried out in pioneering academic institutions has shown signs that psilocybin, when taken with psychological assistance from particularly qualified therapists, may be a safe and useful medication for people with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental diseases.

In these first preparation sessions, the therapist and patient get to know each other and form a trusting relationship, so the patient can feel supported and at ease during the psilocybin session.
The session will take place in a comfortable room, designed specifically for the session. They receive a dose of psilocybin in a capsule. During the experience, patients listen to a specially designed music playlist and wear an eye mask, to help them focus internally. The psilocybin experience typically lasts 6-8 hours. A therapists and an assistants are present throughout the session.
Patients are encouraged to discuss their experiences of the psilocybin session. The goal is for patients, with guidance from their therapist, to generate their own insights and ideas from the experience to change unhelpful emotional and behavioural patterns.
It definitely affected my life, and I like to say it saved my life. “ Modern therapeutic methods and the psilocybin treatment worked almost like an antibiotic for me, where I was sick with a disease or a disorder. Soon after his cravings for alcohol started to go away. Now I started a new chapter of my life.
