Details of this retreat
A private psilocybin mushroom retreat for one couple at a time, at La Fuente, our adobe homestead above Valle de Bravo. No group to fold into: just the two of you, one ceremony, and a quiet house around it.
Before you travel we have a free intro call, a medical review for each of you, and an online preparation call: your intentions, each of your own and the ones you share, and the dietary lead-in.
You arrive on the first day and settle in. On the second day, ceremony is held in a candlelit room with live, channeled music, never a playlist. You sit side by side, each on your own journey, and both of you are held.
The third day is for integration: a slow breakfast, the steam dome and cold plunge, the garden, and a session with Alexa, together, to begin bringing what each of you saw into the life you share. You leave after breakfast on the fourth day.
$3,400 for the two of you. A car from Mexico City, Thai yoga massage and online follow-up sessions can be added.
Sacred Counsel does not administer, supply or handle any controlled substances. Ceremonies are held by independent facilitators operating under local law; we hold the preparation, the container and the integration.
