Confluence Retreats

I grew up believing psychedelics would lead to jumping out windows or lifetime psychotic breaks, so when I started hearing about the healing properties of psychedelics, I was not only skeptical but downright scared. But I kept getting hints and running into more information about how helpful they could be with creative thinking and understanding myself and the world. When I got intrigued enough to research having an experience, I found Confluence was exactly what I was looking for. Surrounded by nature, in a safe and monitored environment, with experienced facilitators, they took all the logistics off my shoulders, leaving me free to focus on what otherwise might have been anxious ordeal. I was especially glad for two journeys, again, taking away the anxiety that I wouldn't "get it right" the first time. I couldn't have made a better choice. From preparation, through the actual journeys and stay, and clear through the integration afterward, I've felt cared for and in safe, wise hands. Their attention to the details has left me free to fully engage in a truly awesome experience. Read More

I cannot put into words how life-changing this experience was for me! I enjoyed every aspect of my journey with Confluence Retreats, from the first call I had with Myles, I knew this was going to be a profound experience. Myles and his amazing team (thank you, Jules and Tsana!) made me and everyone on this journey feel safe and welcomed. This was my first exploration into psychedelics, and I wanted to ensure I was supported and informed, the team at Confluence went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. Since leaving the retreat in January, I feel like a dam has been busted open, and the fog I had been in for so long has been lifted. I can be myself again, and this journey opened the door for me.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the community aspect that Confluence provided. Being able to connect with amazing people who were going through this shared experience with me was another aspect that made this retreat so special. I am grateful to everyone at Confluence and my fellow travelers I met on this journey. I have experienced clarity and growth in both my personal and professional life, and the investment for this experience was well worth it and then some! I highly recommend this to anyone curious about exploring plant medicine/psychedelics. Thank you, Confluence Retreats! Read More

Before discovering Confluence Retreats- and well before I could have possibly known what this experience I was courting in my mind actually was - it was increasingly clear to me that the only way such a trek was going to work for me was with “heavy guardrails“ in place.

From my first phone call with a staff member I felt my anxiety lessen in this regard. However, nothing could have prepared me for the level of care, structure, expertise, and good sense I experienced and witnessed at Confluence. This is a group that is truly “in-service“ to their participants. Every aspect of this, from pre-arrival to post-journey was exquisitely handled -and to Confluence Retreats I am grateful. Read More

My first interaction with Miles at Confluence Retreats was not just professional, but also deeply enlightening. His commitment to the well-being of all participants was palpable, and his profound knowledge was a guiding light throughout the retreat.

Having previously experienced a psilocybin retreat in Jamaica, I was curious about how the more structured program at Confluence Retreat would compare. To my delight, the unique blend of a structured program and additional healing modalities, such as breathwork, yoga, and integration circles, made it a truly exceptional experience. The second ceremony was a revelation.

I cannot say enough about the staff. They were all amazing, and I felt so held in the space they created. Oh, and the food! Mouthwatering from the first bite to the last, everything was prepared fresh and organically. The retreat was nestled in a serene natural setting with breathtaking mountains and a calming fountain. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, providing a perfect retreat away from daily stress at home. The scenery was breathtaking, and the accommodations were top-notch.

If you are reading this review and are doubting whether a mushroom retreat is for you, please do not be disappointed. The retreat offered a profound journey of self-discovery and healing. I experienced a deep sense of peace and clarity, and I was able to address and release past traumas. There is so much healing and transformation on the other side, and I absolutely recommend Confluence Retreats as the place to experience it. Read More

During my journey, I received some important insights into things holding me back, and am working through those now. The time, care and thought that Myles puts into his retreats is amazing and I believe makes an enormous difference to the experience. Having someone to talk to before and after the journey was important to me, and much more helpful than being on my own after the journey. The walks in nature added a wonderful dimension to the retreat and was a great time for reflecting. The accommodations for a single person doing a retreat were perfect - my own "cabin" with a separate entrance from the rest of the Bed & Breakfast, it was serene and private. I can't recommend Confluence Retreats highly enough! Read More
