Eleusinia

2025 was the year I decided to make whole-sale changes to my life. At age 60, when my career pretty much died overnight, I discovered a whole new life and experiences. Taking a leap, I decided to move to Europe. At the same time, coming off of a breakup, I decided to handle my inter-life too. My connection style is of the anxious variety and I wanted to shift it to something more stable. I wanted to break the hex of codependency, which I finally realized I consistently invited into my life. My friend shared how much she got out of her Eleusinia retreat so I decided to take the plunge and signed up to attend the early March retreat of 2026.

I didn’t know what to expect and I went into the process focussing on myself. At first, it was hard to grant myself permission to be catered to and taken care of (something that the staff of Eleusinia was great at), but once I surrendered to the process, I was excited to move forward. While I was interested in the Macrodose, I had heard so much about the DMT experience, I was curious about that too. After all was said and done, I found both experiences rewarding. Since it has only been a few days since my experience, I am still processing, but I definitely feel that I am thinking differently and better able challenge old beliefs.

Besides just the visual experience that was far beyond what I could have ever imagined from a psychedelic experience, I feel there’s been a shift in me. I can’t say there was any specific moment that was a breakthrough but I will say that the activities before, during, and after the psychedelic experiences were very impactful. I was able to experience first hand, just how much I live in fear and apprehension on a daily basis. I feel with my acknowledgement, I can and am making choices differently than I have in the past. I intend to keep up the practice.

Overall, it was a great experience beyond expectations. The staff was knowledgeable and truly cared about all of the participant’s experiences. The venue was gorgeous and provided an expansive visual feast, even more so once in the actual psychedelic experience kicked in. The retreat was informative and the support available after is phenomenal. This is the beginning of my journey and I am grateful to be introduced to this world in such an informative, caring fashion!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Eleusinia! The program, staff, and facilities are all top-notch, and the setting is downright magical! If you're considering other options, please do yourself a favor and select this wonderful team/program immediately!

What a wonderful experience. Truly an informative retreat with knowledgable, caring people. And the food is fabulous - I've never been so satisfied with vegetarian food. The chef is outstanding!

Eleusinia is the most beautiful place I've ever been. Yes the location is breathtaking but the amount of detail that Jessica and Jay have put into caring for the wellbeing of strangers is awesome! The staff made me feel so cared for (and I left liking myself so much more), the food incredible, the in room massages, breathwork with Andrew, ceremonies with Josefina (literally gave me goosebumps being in her presence) etc etc. I would have been more than satisfied but the actual dose day was something one can only experience for themselves. The experience was priceless and will absolutely return for 8 day retreat. Thank you Jessica for creating something totally unique for the rest of us:) Im all about scientific research and Eleusinia hits the mark 100%

This is an absolutely wonderful place filled with amazing people! The program designer and the entire staff are truly incredible. Everything about the process is thoughtfully arranged, and you can really feel the love and care they put into it. It's genuinely one of the best experiences you could ever have in your life!
