About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

We are a nonprofit association offering legal, individual 1:1 psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions with magic mushrooms (Psilocybe cubensis) to those in need. We are graduates of Somatic Plant Medicine Integration certification and have completed professional training in the Trauma-informed Plant Medicine Masterclass offered by Atira Tan. We are signatories of the North Star ethics pledge for psychedelic practitioners, guided by integrity and sincerity as foundational principles in our work.

Based on the standard protocol for clinical practice developed by Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and others, our sessions are conducted individually, in comfortable, quiet, cosy indoor environments, close to nature, with one or more monitors present at all times to offer non-intrusive, non-directive care and support. To ensure the experience of everyone is as beneficial as possible, we do not host group retreats but invite individuals to embark on a long-term, multi-stage journey with us, in which the session itself is merely one phase.

Our approach is grounded in psychosomatic therapy and incorporates elements of Dr Peter Levine´s Somatic Experiencing, Dr David Bercelli´s Trauma Release Exercises, emotional release exercises from the Reichian tradition of body-based psychoanalysis, and breathwork-based methods of nervous-system autoregulation.

Schedule

To ensure the experience of everyone is as beneficial as possible, we do not host group retreats but 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 phase includes the presentation of introductory educational content, and an introductory video interview to get to know each other and to discuss intentions and upcoming steps.

We meet you at the site around 11am. The session begins with a preparatory discussion, during which we set and record intentions, work through doubts and fears, advise how to respond to challenging experiences, and quieten the mind with a "mindful eating" meditation. The mushrooms are served in a tea ceremony including an infusion of herbal extracts shown in several clinical trials to reduce anxiety significantly in patients awaiting surgery. This is particularly apt as a high dose psychedelic session is comparable to performing a deep surgical operation on your own mind.

Once the effects subside, around 5 hours later, we provide opportunities for you to record the experience in writing or through audio. We close the session around 6pm.

Montes de Malaga
Malwina was a warm, reassuring, and experienced guide, providing really gentle and effective support during difficult parts of my trip, and the space was private and comfortable and easy to be in as we slowly re-emerged back into the world after our trip. She has been helpful before and after our trip as well, checking in and answering questions and providing resources on integration. Highly recommend!

In Safe Hands
I was in safe hands early on, from the information on their website, the consultation before booking, the educational reading material provided after booking and further communication over the phone. I felt confident that I was dealing with an experienced team who knew what they were doing, which translated to the retreat day itself; where I ingested the mushrooms to begin my first ever psychedelic journey. I experienced both bliss and challenges during the ‘trip’, yet I was escorted back to my hotel safely. I was then able to make it home later with further aftercare and support from the team. Thank you

Good session and supportive people ✌️
My experience with Mycosomatic started with my initial contact with Siddiq who gave me all the information I needed and was very friendly / helpful in organising the travel logistics for the session too including a taxi from the airport etc. I was then introduced to my session facilitator / guide Elena who I was in contact with prior to travelling and upon arrival. I found her to be a very supportive, professional and caring person who guided me through the session by letting me know what to expect prior to it and being intuitive/responsive to what I was processing during it.

I can definitely recommend Mycosomatic 👍

Simplicity, compassion, expertise
This revealed so much about who I really am. Indescribable. And just the right doesage for a first timer, I felt at ease. Elena was so patient with me, allowed to do it in a slightly different way. She was open to try different things which led to so much to be shown to me. I am looking to have another experience with them because I feel I have more to process.

Challenging but cathartic

Pre communication with Siddiq and Elena was really helpful and friendly and they were able to answer all questions I had.

Elena was a great guide intuitive as to what my needs were, when to come close, when to withdraw and leave me to my journey.

I had a challenging but rewarding experience. A lot of negative energy left my body and allowed me to propel forward with a lighter feeling inside.
