Psychedelic retreat costs typically range from USD $200-750 per day, with most programs lasting 5-8 days (total USD $1,600-4,500). Shorter 1-2 day private sessions generally cost USD $450-1,000, while premium or longer experiences (8-13 days) may range from USD $3,000-7,500. Location significantly affects pricing - retreats in Peru and Ecuador tend to be more affordable (USD $125-250/day), while Netherlands and Costa Rica programs often command higher prices (USD $400-1,150/day). Accommodation type greatly impacts cost, with shared/dormitory options offering savings of 30-50% compared to private rooms.
Classic psychedelics (like psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, ayahuasca, and mescaline) do not create physical dependence or addiction in the way substances like alcohol, opioids, or nicotine do. Most retreat participants find these medicines self-limiting—the profound, sometimes challenging experiences they produce naturally discourage frequent use. In traditional cultures where these plants have been used for centuries, they're typically approached with reverence and used ceremonially, not recreationally. That said, psychological attachment can form with any substance or experience that alters consciousness. At retreats, guests sometimes arrive with misconceptions about psychedelics being an easy "shortcut" to healing, only to discover these medicines often reveal what needs attention rather than instantly fixing it. The medicine itself rarely becomes problematic; the relationship with it might. What's most important isn't necessarily whether a substance can create dependency, but one's intention and the context of use. Many find these experiences so complete that they need significant integration time before feeling called to return.
