Ceremonia

My experience at Ceremonia's 6-day psilocybin retreat was profound and ultimately life changing for me.

The pre-retreat care, the workshops during the event, and also the integration of the experiences into our normal life were all top-notch. This is not a "let's take medicine in the forest"-type of event. It consists of highly trained and skilled facilitators who hold any and all emotions with compassion and care. Doctors, therapists and bodyworkers are attending to your physical and emotional needs at all times throughout the week, and high-level musicians are creating an ambiance of peace, surrender and calm beauty.

The medicine journeys itself were carefully prepared and personalized based on my needs and objectives. I learned so much about my Self, my relations, and how I want to show up in this world going forward. For the first time in my life, I experienced true forgiveness and compassion for myself, followed by extreme gratitude and joy.

Leaving the retreat, I felt immense love for my fellow participants - something I never thought was possible in such a short time. Having experienced such profound moments with each other, we will be a life-long family of choice, and this includes all facilitators of the retreat.

My knowledge of who I am in this world, and what I am grateful for has led me to make real and lasting changes in the way I treat myself and others. I am much more clear with my boundaries and can make decisions coming from my center, versus from a place of pleasing others, or making things right at my own expense.

This has been a life altering experience and I will be forever grateful to Ceremonia and my new 'family'!

I could say how my actual experience with the plant medicine was, but it’s not really important. Everyone has a different experience. While I might consider myself a strong man, I also liked to believe that I was also “Soft in the middle”. Meaning I had a place for the feminine side of me. However , while this was true, it is nothing like what I can tap into now. Today, I have a feel, a real softness in my heart that glows. When I think of my partner, I am more concerned about her well being, her personal growth. Her beingness is more important to me than ever before. She matters more; what she says, and believes. And my heart is more open to you all, as well. I am a very grateful man for the gifts I’ve received from my time with Ceramonia and can highly recommend them to you. Enjoy.

​I recently completed a 6-day psilocybin retreat, and I am sharing this review for anyone who has struggled with long-term mental health challenges. I entered this program after dealing with lifelong depression, and the results have been truly life-changing for the better.
​The Experience:
The retreat was structured as 6 days with three days of intensive. It was professional, safe, and deeply supportive. The staff-to-patient ratio ensured that someone was always there to provide guidance, support, and love. Having that level of support staff made a significant difference in how secure I felt throughout the process.
​The Results:
I have walked away with an energy I haven’t felt for as long as I can remember. Most importantly, I no longer feel the weight of depression. I feel like I am finally healing and, for the first time in a very long time, I feel whole again. I have truly learned to love myself.

​Integration and Longevity:
What makes this retreat feel balanced and sustainable is the focus on "life after the retreat." They provided me with extensive integration tools and ongoing support to ensure these changes are long-lasting. It doesn’t feel like a temporary shift; it feels like a permanent foundation. I also gained a fantastic community of new friends. If you are looking for a legitimate, well-staffed, and effective medical retreat, this is it.

I’m a 74 yo semi retired addition medicine MD. I’m 40 years sober in the 12 steps.
My wife and I attended the 6 day - 3 journey event this January, with 20 other people and 7 staff.
Most of us were novices in plant assisted therapy.
It’s hard to put into words but I am so grateful we had a chance to experience this amazing adventure.
I was able to experience unconditional love and acceptance, worthiness, oneness and a closer connection to my Higher Power.. (all of my intentions before this retreat).
The schedule was perfectly planned and allowed us all to bond and grow emotionally, during the first 24 hours prior to the plant medicine.
The thing that made it all possible was the strong feeling of safety created by the staff.
Having my wife with me was totally amazing!
