Find Authentic Retreats in Tlayacapan Mexico

"I was able to speak to Siddiq and the facilitator Elena before the session and had all my doubts resolved. The session itself is in a tranquil location and I felt very looked after and there has been good communication following and a lot of resources provided for integration. Would highly recommend! "

"Siddiq is extremely well read and offered me, prior to our session, a very useful & helpful collection of esources to both approach the psilocybin trip, integrate it, as well as processing trauma. But more importantly Siddiq is calm, warm, and grounded. Throughout my stay with Mycosomatic Magic, as well as during the actual trip, I felt that Siddiq was able to assume the role of leader and guide without being condescending or forcing any beliefs or interpretations on me. I always felt that he cared about me as a human, so to speak, and had a basic instinct of respect (in the good meaning of that word). Siddiq's calm and grounding was also a beneficial resource during the trip itself. When I expressed certain emotions Siddiq did not tighten up or feel uncomfortable with them, but stayed with me fully and just said "let the mushrooms guide you"."

"The setting and atmosphere that Mycosomatic Magic hosted me in was really well tuned for a psychedelic experience; a small rustic communal farm/living space in the hills of northern Spain. Far enough from the road, and enough in nature, to feel the ability to express oneself. Siddiq and Peyton made me feel comfortable and we had a really good talk prior to the session where the reason for the experience, past experiences, and so forth were discussed in more detail. The trip itself was also well handled by my guide, Siddiq, and he was dynamic and attentive and able to adjust the process based on what was going on. "

"I shared my experience with Elena in the beautiful El Gastor. I had no idea what to expect, but the beautiful surroundings helped me to relax and welcome the unknown. Then I met wonderful Elena and my worries disappeared. She was amazing at preparing me for the session. Now afterword I understand how important setting intentions was. I didn't have clear expectations, but rather a willingness to discover what I needed the most. And I got to do that! What a journey - full of laughter and crying. Elena was by my side the whole time, supporting me in all the situations. She also was amazing at playing instruments I've never seen in my life :) Thank you Elena for this amazing day, and for all the discussions, wise thoughts, laughter, open-mindedness, and tasty mushrooms :) Say hello to Cosmos!"

"I had an amazing journey with Siddiq. He hosted me with his thoughtful and caring partner Payton that cooked amazingly vegan herbal meals. Both made me safe and comfortable. I had a wonderful big room in this arty house in the mountains. The perfect landscape to connect with mushrooms. Siddiq hold the space respectfully with presence and gave me an amazing massage to relax and get into my trip. He was present all along to support whenever I had emotional moments. I highly recommend to be accompany by Siddiq !"

"I recently had the privilege of participating in a session facilitated by Siddiq, and I must say it was a truly meaningful experience. From the moment I reached out to inquire about joining a psilocybin session, Siddiq was incredibly attentive and supportive. He took the time to address all my concerns and provided invaluable materials to help me prepare for the session, including a wealth of resources like videos, podcasts, and books. These resources served as a roadmap for further exploration and reflection, both before and after the session. Upon arriving at the retreat, Siddiq made me feel completely at ease. He listened attentively to my apprehensions and took proactive steps to ensure my comfort. The relaxation exercises we engaged in beforehand were instrumental in calming my nerves and fostering a sense of acceptance. Throughout the session, Siddiq was a steadfast presence, guiding me through each stage of the journey with compassion and expertise. His unwavering support, whether it was holding my hand during moments of fear or offering insightful suggestions when I felt lost, was truly invaluable. Even after the effects of the mushroom had subsided, Siddiq remained by my side, helping me process and integrate the experience. The following day, we took a rejuvenating walk in the woods, allowing me to reconnect with nature and engage in meaningful conversation. Through it all, I came to a profound realization: individuals like Siddiq are the catalysts for healing in this world. His dedication, empathy, and wisdom have left an indelible mark on me, and for that, I am deeply grateful."

"From the moment I arrived I was made to feel very safe and welcome and that continued through the whole experience. Siddiq was a really safe and responsive facilitator and responded to whatever I needed throughout the session. He really is a pro. I would highly recommend for a beautiful, safe and lovely experience. I was made to feel so comfortable and safe through the whole journey, including the difficult parts. Enjoy your journey! :) "

"My experience with Siddiq was great, he seemed very confident answering all my questions and definitely helped me feel comfortable with the whole experience- including preparation and the integration. He's very knowledgeable about working with mushrooms and all the current studies and was able to help me understand the benefits of psilocybin therapy. Really a great person to work with, thank you Siddiq! "

"I had such a profound experience that was provided by an excellent and professional team. The Mycosomatic Magic team is clearly passionate about correct, respectful use of entheogens and equally about transformative healing. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to do a session as it was extremely positive for my personal healing. Fully recommended!! "

"Siddiq gave excellent preparation before the session and was the perfect listener after the session. The main thing I’ve noticed now, some weeks after my session, is I have the energy/fortitude to make changes when it comes to certain habits/patterns in my life. Seems like I have been able to see these things with a different set of eyes. "

"Couldn´t have asked for a better facilitator. "

"Before arriving I was recalling a moment when I was flying somewhere and my pen leaked all over my shirt. I realised it did not exist the way I thought it did - as my pen - but was subject to (as Buddhists say0 causes and conditions. The atmospheric pressure on the plane was different. Recalling this I realsiowd that's what it means to see nothing has an inherent existence; everything is empty of inherent identity. Taking the mushrooms enhanced and deepened this experience - I felt more inward, more confident of just how delusional humanity is. The Heart Sutra (In Conze's translation says 'In the absence of thought-pictures he has not been made to tremble.' I often pay lip service without really taking on board the meaning - 'I' was out of my mind, but at one with everything.."

"I have done an online psilocybin session with Siddiq and this was a major experience for me. I would recommend an online session for those who already have an idea of what a psilocybin journey might be about. I already had such an idea, as I had previously assisted a friend on their psilocybin journey. Also, an online session should be done only when you can ensure a calm and safe environment, if it's a first ever trip for you make sure someone trusted and caring is around just in case you get to deal with some difficult states etc. Siddiq sent me the mushrooms via post, they arrived in time and of very good quality. Shortly before the trip we had a talk, in which Siddiq explained me what to expect from the trip, he also talked about some challenging experiences I might encounter. We briefly talked about my intention and how to navigate the trip. This was a very inspiring and helpful conversation. Siddiq also made sure to give me very precise instructions on how to prepare my psilocybin tea. I was nervous on the day of the trip but had trust in myself and the mushrooms. At the beginning of the journey, I was hit by the powerful effect of the mushrooms. I felt losing sense of myself, of the location, of the time. It was quite hard to handle. At first I felt the urge to resist this state, but then I remembered Siddiq's advice to remind myself that it was only a trip, and this shall pass. And I surrendered. After that what I experienced was so deep and even days after the trip when I'm thinking of those visions, my eyes fill with tears. This was beautiful. I got to visit my mother's heart, my father's heart and my own heart. During the trip I also seem to have gone through an operation on my heart, and I literally felt as if I was lying on the operating table, and someone was crafting a new heart for me. This heart was breathtakingly beautiful, made of blue silk, decorated with intricate patterns, precious stones and crystals. I saw myself as a young girl in the church (where I used to go in my childhood very often) and I was hit by how pure and loving this young girl's perception of the world was. At some point I also got to feel our entire humanity's pain and grief, and I was overwhelmed by the compassion for us all humans. The trip was very visual, with incredible vibrating colors and patterns emerging with every new song in my headphones. This is so beautiful; no words can describe it. Now with days passing I still experience a deep calmness. I am in awe in the face of these powerful medicines. I am so grateful for these insights. "

"Siddiq is a very passionate person, who has a broad understanding of the process of psychedelic journeys. Although I met him online only, he ensured that my home session will be safe and powerful in the meantime. All the information provided by him for the preparation and integration work is professional and scientifically supported. Thanks a lot!"

"The service offered by Mycosomatic Magic is exceptional. Doing a DIY remote session with a full support is a great way to start the journey of healing. Even if just online, I felt that my safety and wellbeing is in the focus. I had an incredible experience, that I cannot describe as this is something that can be felt only by experiencing it. I know it's just the first step but I feel I'm on a good way."

"Even though there was a last minute location change, and a bit of a rush caused because of this, I had a wonderful experience with Siddiq as a guide. He is very nice, trustable and very able to sustain a warm, loving presence which is helping a lot. I got some helpful hints regarding the quest of my purpose and a very beautiful reminder how amazing life is behind all our filters. Thanks <3"

"From the moment my wife and I arrived, we were made to feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. We were seeking something personal and tailored to our needs, and Mycosomatic Magic exceeded our expectations. With two sessions, one indoors and one outdoors, we were able to explore the depths of our inner selves and connect with each other on a profound level. Both sessions held their own, and throughout both sessions, Siddiq and Elena showed us due care, attention, and love. Siddiq's expertise in guiding psilocybin experiences is unmatched. He provided pre-session education, explaining what to expect and what possibly not to expect, and he enhanced the entire experience with the right ingredients, sounds, frequencies, smells, tools, and more, culminating in a peak of inner enlightenment. They checked in with us regularly to ensure our comfort and provided helpful tips and advice for post-session self-care. The sessions were truly transformative, and we emerged feeling grateful, transformed, and supported. Correct psilocybin use is an art form, and Siddiq and Elena are true masters of their craft. I aim to one day vlog and blog in detail about my experience. For now, I am simply living it... Mycosomatic Magic provided us with a wonderful time, and we would both recommend them in a heartbeat. So if you're seeking a deeply profound experience, I can't recommend Mycosomatic Magic enough. Thank you, Siddiq and Elena, for guiding us on this incredible journey."

"After a couple of years wanting to try magic mushrooms, we decided to take the leap and visit Mycosomatic Magic which was the perfect choice for us. We had been looking for places but most seemed to peddle the "wellness" propaganda with its commodification of healing, and it wasn't appealing to us. MM is wonderful because their approach is different, it is rooted in values of community, gift, and collective healing. We also really appreciate that they grow their own mushrooms, and we know where they come from. The time spent producing and harvesting can't be overstated, and the fact they are donation based makes it even more remarkable. It is also gratifying for us that our donation will make it possible for someone else to have this transformative experience. As for the trip itself, it was more than we had ever expected. Language fails to communicate the life shattering experience, but in summary it was cathartic and has allowed us to embrace change rather than to avoid it at all costs. As a couple, it was very important for our relationship to share this experience with each other because it has helped us communicate and understand each other more intimately. Thank you Siddiq and Elena for this wonderful gift, it has changed our lives. "

"The perfect balance of guidance, support and privacy I needed. So many insights to take home and continue integrating into my life! "

"Siddiq is a great trip sitter! Experienced, knowledgeable, patient, observant and careful."

"The whole session was organized very well, and I would recommend this retreat to everybody interested in inner exploration, self reflection and generally using mushrooms for personal growth/healing. I was comfortable throughout the whole day (and sleeping afterwards). The place was very suitable, I had my own space but Siddiq was nearby in the other room in case something went wrong (it didn't). I had a long journey and wanted to take a nap first, he was very understanding of this. The masseuse did a great job at the very beginning, and Siddiq was present to take care of anything I needed (environmental adjustments, offering emotional support), but also gave me all the space that I asked for to do my own thing. I am glad I accepted his recommendations for using headphones and an eye mask! His subtle presence was reassuring. As the sun was setting, he lit candles in the room making a very nice vibe. I had asked for tea at some point and he kept bringing me more tea, which was very appreciated. From our conversations and his actions, it was clear that he knows what he's doing, and that he's doing it from his own experience combined with theoretical knowledge, motivated by the desire to help people rather than purely financial gain. This retreat is a true hidden gem, and I am so glad I went."

"What an incredible journey! I can confidently say that it changed my life. The trip itself was, of course indescribable. I can imagine that in other circumstances it could have remained just an amazing experience, with perhaps some psychological and philosophical insights as the main takeaway. What really ensured a lasting change beyond the trip itself, however, was the initiation offered into "the way of the fungi", as they put it. From the basis of trust, integrity and authenticity that they embody by offering the sessions freely on a donation basis, I was able to enter into the experience as a true gift from something far bigger than myself, far bigger even the human race as a whole. I feel so honoured, blessed and grateful for this gift that I want to share it with as many people around me as I can. The knowledge, reassurance and guidance that Siddiq shared with me before, during and after the trip has encouraged me with the sense that I will soon be able to share this experience with those close to me, after spending a little more time getting to know the mushrooms better, learning, practising, and sharing in community with the other likeminded peers I have been able to connect with through the allied groups and organisations in the Mycosomatic Magic mycelial network. I now see both the world around me, and the personal path before me, with fresh eyes, full of infinite possibility. This is truly a gift that keeps on giving!"

"Siddiq is very kind, friendly and professional. Before, during and after he has experience to guide you in the most significant journey of your life. The trip itself I think is unique to each one of us, but at end brings thoughts and emotions that if you are to digest properly may help you to improve your life. I really wish each one of us have the experience. You are in the right hands if you choose Mycosomatic Magis."

"So, I just had my second trip using psilocybin to work on some deep-seated issues that have been bugging me for ages. And let me tell you, my guide Siddiq is an absolute angel! He created the most comforting and nurturing space for me with his gentle presence. I always felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket, not pushed or left alone. During the trip, there were two distinct parts - one where I cried my heart out and worked on my issues, and the other that was just pure bliss and love. I mean, it was so beautiful and unexpected! Oh, and if you're curious, I recorded a detailed account of my entire experience, which you can check out through this link - https://youtu.be/XvppmKF76vI. I talk about how my perception of objects and spaces has shifted, and now I see spaces as more important than objects. I also had this huge realization about the importance of self-love (who knew, right?) and how I was able to work through some deep-seated issues related to separation anxiety, abandonment, and 'mother' issues. Finally, I touched on how our mental and emotional states are energy that can attract astral beings - either for good or bad - and how being in a state of love and peace can help keep us safe. "
