The Synthesis Institute

This has been a significant experience for me. If you ever get the opportunity to participate, don’t even hesitate. The experience is incredibly well organized, held, safe, and beautiful

The retreat was an outstanding experience, not just for the psilocybin ceremonies but for the community, breathwork, and meditation that made it so much more than that. I would highly recommend the process to anyone hoping to better themselves, find a new way to look at their traumas, or anyone just curious about the use of psychedelics for their well-being. A wonderful community was curated during the 5 days, and I would love to attend one again

Being part of the Synthesis community has truly been life-changing. The clarity, healing, and perspective I gained feel absolutely priceless. The care and expertise I felt throughout made all the difference, and what I’ve gained—clarity, healing, and a whole new perspective on life—feels absolutely priceless. I’m so grateful I took the leap

Exceptional. Marvelous. Even though I didn’t know the majority of the megapode facilitators before the retreat, I felt almost immediately at home with them. They proved an enormous resource throughout the retreat. Their teamwork was a remarkable model for me going forward as well. I felt supported, held, and given space to grow in my own way. Magnificent!

The experience of being TOGETHER was even more mind-blowing than I’d expected. I already knew that this was an extraordinary group of people — but I had no idea of the extent to which that was true until we were physically together in one place. The openness, attentiveness, attunement, intelligence. and gentleness of the staff was extraordinary.
On how the Immersion informed one’s personal practice: “I feel an even greater draw than usual to slow down, spend time in nature, and give myself space to breathe. The conversations I had with both fellow participants and staff will be influencing my personal practice and my outlook on life for a long while. The experiences of the retreat went very deep indeed.

Everyone was super-helpful, respectful, and friendly. Couldn’t ask for better.

I would emphasise how the different lenses all worked to inform each other and therefore made the overall offering richer. I would also talk about how Synthesis has consistently promoted the value of "walking the walk", so not just lip-service, but the actual lived embodied commitment to our own wholeness; only then can we be taken seriously to facilitate someone else's journey towards wholeness.
