About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

We are a nonprofit association offering individual 1:1 psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions with magic mushrooms (Psilocybe cubensis) to those in need. We are signatories of the North Star ethics pledge for psychedelic practitioners, guided by integrity and sincerity as foundational principles in our work.

Cam’s work is rooted in careful preparation, ethical responsibility and deep respect for the individual process. Rather than focusing solely on the ceremonial experience, Cam places strong emphasis on integration; supporting participants in translating insights into concrete, sustainable changes in daily Life. Each journey is framed by a clear structure that includes pre-ceremony preparation, a carefully held ceremonial container, an overnight stay in a dedicated ceremonial space (The Nest), and multiple integration sessions over time.

Cam’s approach is non-dogmatic, trauma-aware and participant-centered. She hold space with presence, clarity and integrity; offering guidance and emotional support without diagnosing, fixing or directing the experience.

Committed to accessibility, Cam works with a donation-based model designed to make these experiences available to those who may not otherwise have access, while honoring the time, energy and wisdom required to hold this work responsibly.

Schedule

To ensure the experience of everyone is as beneficial as possible, we invite individuals to embark on a long-term, multi-stage journey with us, in which the session itself is merely one phase. During the intake phase, we conduct a thorough medical and psychological pre-screening process to ensure the safety of the experience for all candidates.

Once applications are accepted and dates arranged, the preparation includes educational content on practices that support and complement the medicine journey, and an introductory interview to get to know each other and to discuss intentions and upcoming steps.

We meet you at the site around 3pm. The session begins with a preparatory discussion, during which we set and record intentions, work through doubts and fears, and provide "flight instructions" about how to navigate any challenging experiences that may arise. We serve the medicine as a lemon-tek, which supports easeful digestion and can enhance the effects.

After the preparation and beginning the journey, we guide you through breathing exercises to relax and calm the mind as the effects begin to take hold. Once you start feeling the effects more strongly, we provide music and eyeshades in order for you to immerse yourself in the experience.

Once the effects subside, around 6 hours later, we provide opportunities for you to record the experience in writing or through audio. We close the session around 10pm.
Note: Schedule is approximate and may change

Directions

Our location is a 10 minute drive or 30 minutes walking from the center of Pai, in northern Thailand. You can rent a scooter or call a taxi and be there in a few minutes.

Pai is 3 to 4 hours from Chiang Mai, where the nearest airport is. You can fly into Chiang Mai from Bangkok, where there are more international connections.

From Chiang Mai, you can book a shuttle, order a taxi, or rent a car to come to Pai. There are many shuttles daily and they're quite inexpensive.

Accommodation

Because The Nest is already so plush and comforting, it's the perfect space to spend the night. This way, you can ride out the final waves of your journey then drift into sleep without having to move into another space.

"The Nest" is a cozy space that's enclosed and yet still very connected to the nature around. The space is wrapped with netting that protects from mosquitos but allows fresh air, birdsong, and the colors of the sky to fill the space.

This space is filled with pillows and cushions to create an environment that can absorb all your emotions and hold you in moments of rest. This area of town is very quiet and away from the noise and busyness of the tourism in town.

Eye opening experience with Malwina
I did my retreat in May 2025, it has taken me a while to review due to work commitments but also to enable me to process the benefits of the experience entirely over time.
I firstly would say the this has been one of the most important and valuable things I've ever done.
My experience was very positive with Malwina, we started before I arrived to Málaga with a video consultation where I expressed why I wanted the experience and what I wished to get out of it. It was also a vibe check because trust is important during this process. From my side I was as open as I could have been which is important. I had also ( as many probably have) watched all the netflix documentaries on psychedelics.
I felt I'd hit a block in my life where suddenly I wasn't confident anymore and was questioning myself . I was struggling with work and getting so stressed that it was causing bodily illness for extended months.
This wasn't why I did the retreat, I had actually been researching for a few years. This happened to fall perfectly just before a yoga retreat. I do not recommend going directly back to work after this because it's intense!
The accomodation for the retreat was pleasant and quiet in the mountains. Malwina made it comfortable with a fire and it was also warm outside.
My experience took a while and was not as I expected or as i had watched and read from other people. After the experience you'll have much more clarity, but at the time I felt I wasn't getting anything out of it for several hours which is unusual. But I have repressed emotions for such a long time, it is unsurprising it took a while, and on reflection, the process started earlier that I thought at the time. During my "breakthrough" as Id call it, Malwina was there with tissues. Also assisting me when I needed to walk up to the toilet and when I was sick - this can happen as you may also have a strong somatic response.
She stayed with me until I was fully back to earth which was quite late in my case.
The bed was comfortable but expect to maybe not sleep. I had to take paracetamol during the night because I had a strong headache.
In the morning, Malwina helped me to talk through my experience and make sense of it. I wasn't afraid to let go and be emotional, which was a nice change and very freeing.
I had a few questions to complete afterwards over the period of weeks to help me make sense of the experience..I chose to journal these thoughts. The aftercare was very good. Malwina also had a call with me about a month after the retreat to check how I was getting on. You do need that I think because the experience is a lot to digest.
I chose to keep up with micro dosing after the experience, and I believe it has benefitted me hugely in both my mental health during work over summer and my physical health as we approach winter.
I will say, whatever you think the issue is might not be the issue. Your mind tells you what you need to know and shows it to you. It could be something entirely different from whatever you believe is troubling you at that time. That's the brilliant thing about it, you are given what you need.
I would absolutely do this experience again. I was such an important event for.me and has shaped the way I've carried on with life.

A Transformational Experience Beyond Words
Attending this mushroom retreat has been one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt deeply welcomed, held, and safe. The facilitators are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also profoundly compassionate human beings. They created a sacred space that allowed me to fully surrender and trust the process, knowing I was in caring and capable hands.

The ceremonies themselves were beautifully guided—deeply intentional, respectful, and filled with reverence for the medicine. I experienced profound insights, emotional release, and a sense of connection that I have been longing for. The way the team combined traditional wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches felt seamless and authentic, honoring both the spiritual and the psychological dimensions of healing.

What really stood out was the integration support. It wasn’t just about the journey during ceremony; it was about weaving the lessons into daily life. Through sharing circles, gentle guidance, and heartfelt connection, I left not only with clarity and healing but also with practical tools to carry forward.

The setting was breathtaking—peaceful, natural, and nourishing in every sense. The food, the accommodation, the attention to detail—all contributed to an environment where I could truly focus inward and allow the medicine to work its magic.

I cannot recommend this retreat enough for anyone seeking deep healing, self-discovery, or spiritual connection. It is a rare gift to find such integrity, care, and wisdom held together in one place. I leave with a heart full of gratitude, a renewed sense of purpose, and the feeling that I’ve come home to myself.

Difficult but very valuable experience
It was my first experience with mushroom and I am overall very happy with the session. Good preparation, organization and overall profesionalism. The session was handled very well by Malwina and I would definitely recommend her. I had a challenging but valuable experience. Thank you!

One of the most amazing healing experiences of my life!
I never thought I would one day try psychedelics. I don’t even smoke or drink alcohol.
But after experiencing burnout from work and feeling deeply unfulfilled in my personal life, I couldn’t get back on my feet.

I tried everything to reclaim a meaningful life and make progress on my goals: therapy, spiritual retreats... Things started to improve somewhat after attending some family constellation workshops, but nothing truly transformational.

Until one day I thought: What if it’s something biological?
After hearing about and witnessing the changes in someone who had taken mushrooms, I was blown away by their progress. I decided to try them myself, in a safe and legal way, with someone who spoke my language.

Communication with Siddiq was excellent and professional. And I can’t find enough words to thank my facilitator, Elena. She’s a wonderful person, deeply empathetic and talented. Her love for nature and her genuine desire to help others made my experience incredibly safe and effective.

As a bonus, her adorable little dog Cosmo accompanies you during the journey.

A few days after my two sessions, I started noticing positive changes in my personality: my excessive fear in risky situations vanished , it was the first time in my life I’d ever felt that. My appetite regulated itself, and cravings disappeared. The integration process continues, in a positive direction, and I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wants to reclaim their life.

Forever grateful.
