About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Bali is mainly known as the Land of the Gods. It is a place of aesthetic and physical beauty. The architecture and the landscape are reflected in the Balinese who live there, in their art, music, and culture, which form an integral part of their lives. The mountains and the ocean represent positive and negative energies or the yin & yang, maintaining a perfect balance and harmony with the land.

This journey is an introduction to Bali's deeper, spiritual, and healing aspects. This is where the people not only have a strong relationship with the land, each other, and the divine but giving thanks to the Divine is part of their everyday life.

You will have the opportunity to meet with healers and experience personal healing sessions; participate in a deep ceremony and practice meditations; have visits to sacred temples; connect with local artists, swim at the best beaches of the Island; have massages and spa treatments; visit markets and purchase arts and crafts; and enjoy the richness and traditions of a land steeped in an ancient and mystical culture. If one comes with an open heart and mind, anyone with any sensitivity who comes to Bali will experience its healing energy and come away from it completely changed.

After 20 years of living on this beautiful Island, we wish to make your trip a unique experience outside the usual tourist zones. The retreat is available for individuals and couples. Before applying, we will require a personal interview with you. This helps us connect to your energies and study if the retreat fits you. It also guides us on how to make your journey safer and deeper.

YOGA/MEDITATION :

Daily yoga or meditation sessions will be offered to discipline your body & mind. You will learn breathing techniques, participate in OM healing, and have guidance to discover the power of your abilities. The sessions are open from beginners to more advanced souls. Your guide in the session will be an experienced local yogi & healer. The sacred ceremony will take place in a beautiful environment, and you will be provided with all the necessary information to be well-prepared for the event.

PSILOCYBIN CEREMONY

WE OFFER OUR PARTICIPANTS THE POTENTIAL FOR DEEP EMOTIONAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

Like the fungi that form the underground network that circulates information between trees and plants, our retreats are all about connection. We develop deep relationships with each other, with the “plant”, with nature around us but most importantly, with our inner self.

According to Johns Hopkins University, about 90% of psychedelic therapy participants considered their encounter with the plant one of their life's top five most meaningful experiences.

If you are looking for a deep and unique journey of self-discovery, feel free to sign up and we will help you to unlock the exciting labyrinth of your subconscious.

THE ORIGIN OF THE MAGIC MUSHROOM

For thousands of years, people have consumed psilocybin mushrooms to achieve spiritual states and harness their healing properties. The indigenous people of South America called magic mushrooms "little gods" for a reason.
Scientists began studying the beneficial effects of psilocybin in the 1950s. Its therapeutic properties are recognized worldwide.

HOW MAGIC MUSHROOMS WORK

The main psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms (Psilocybe species) is an alkaloid called psilocybin, which creates new connections between previously unconnected brain areas and temporarily alters the whole organizational structure of the brain. The compound binds to serotonin receptors which induce hyperconnectivity between typically less connected brain regions. This process leads to an altered perception of consciousness and a transformation of ingrained thought patterns. These new connections allow users to experience extraordinary things, such as seeing sounds or hearing colors and communicating telepathically. They also responsible for some of the antidepressant effects of magic mushrooms.
Imagine that information flows through the brain on interconnected, busy pathways. Psilocybin does not remove these highways; it simply builds new one


ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY

Our foremost commitment is to guarantee a positive and safe psychedelic experience for you. We prioritize your well-being:

Drawing upon decades of experience with plant medicine, we understand that the key to a transformative journey lies in both the conducive environment and the guidance provided before and throughout your retreat

Additionally, we meticulously screen applications to tailor our services to your individual needs and provide the highest level of care.

Our retreat locations are secured and equipped with convenient access to medical care and services if necessary. We choose serene and exquisite settings for our retreats to ensure your journey remains undisturbed.

We acquire our high-quality mushrooms directly from trusted sources.

Dosages are meticulously measured and administered to minimize risks. While it's never been necessary, we do have products on hand that can swiftly deactivate your psychedelic experience within 30 minutes if you feel it becomes too intense for your comfort.

BASED ON SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, CONSUMING PSILOCYBIN CONSIDERED TO BE SAFE :

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, is not known to be physically addictive. Unlike drugs like opioids or nicotine, users do not develop a physical dependence on psilocybin.

Psilocybin mushrooms are relatively non-toxic to the body. There are very few recorded cases of lethal overdose from psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

Prolonged use of magic mushrooms is not associated with significant physical health problems, such as organ damage or deteriorating physical health.

There are generally no severe withdrawal symptoms when discontinuing the use of magic mushrooms. Users do not typically experience the intense cravings and physical discomfort seen with some other drugs.

Most individuals report positive psychological and therapeutic effects from using magic mushrooms, including improved mood, reduced anxiety, and enhanced creativity. These potential benefits have led to research into psilocybin's therapeutic applications.


MENTAL PREPARATION

Ensure you have enough time to relax and process your experiences before and after the ceremony. Before the ceremony, take care of any work that might cause stress. Do not plan anything for after the ceremony; expect to rest for the rest of the day or evening. If you can, take an extra day off.

Please think about what you would like to ask the "plant spirit" at least a few days before you arrive. The "plant" always knows what you resonate best within your particular state of consciousness and is an excellent teacher, so preparing at least one question/request is a good idea. If you are feeling insecure or afraid, there is nothing wrong; it is entirely natural; we will support you in any way we can to release this feeling.

Try to let go of your expectations. For example, you may be expecting a visual 'journey,' but for you, the responses come in the form of emotions or thoughts. Don't criticize whatever you receive from the spirit of the "plant"; trust the process. There is a slight chance, but you may not be affected by the plant, or you may only have a minor physical sensation, such as a sense of calm. The probability of this is tiny but possible.

If you feel uncomfortable, please let us know; we are here to guide you through any difficulties.

Do some research! (This does not mean reading horror stories on the internet.) Find credible sources.

PHYSICAL PREPARATION
It is essential to avoid eating meat, fatty and spicy foods, alcohol and caffeinated drinks 5 days before the ceremony. Also, avoid cigarettes if possible. On the day of the ceremony: 6 hours before the ceremony, eat a light breakfast (e.g., porridge, rice porridge, or fruit: bananas, apples, pears...) Do not eat later. This is important because it will allow the plant to work to its full potential.

FACILITATORS

Lili and Feri will be your your personal guides.

Lili is a shamanic healer who has been researching the transformational potential of psychedelics for over 20 years.
She spent long years in the rain forests of Asia & South America where she studied the hidden knowledge of energy healing from powerful plants, while developed her own unique healing methods. She is also a clinical hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, intuitive painter, retreat organizer & fashion designer . Some would ask the question that how all these different subjects can fit into one’s life but truly, Lili believes in the sacred Art of Living where anything is possible to create happiness in all areas of our lives.

Lili’s main dream was to dedicate her time & energy to help people to heal with powerful plant medicine. She believes that everyone has the same ability to heal themselves in every areas of their lives if the right key is handed to them. The plant gives you guidance to have a direct connection with yourself, giving you the purest path on your healing journey. There are no masters to follow. The only true master is within you.

Feri is an award winning creative director from Europe with a strong background in advertising and marketing. After spending decades in the corporate world, he decided to reconnect with his path as a healer which he started 20 years earlier. Working with plant medicine, he has tuned his awareness and awakened his inner powers. He became a powerful shaman where he works with energy healing and visions. His dedication to people is truly remarkable.

Feri is science based healer, who never stopped walking the path of learning new methods. He combines both ancient healing techniques with new discoveries. He is also supporting the safety of the group and each individual during the retreats.

For both Lili and Feri , the positive effects of psilocybin was so remarkable that they wanted to share the medicine with as many people possible. After working with hundreds of retreat guests and experiencing the fast and effective healing power of the medicine, there had been no question about being in service of this powerful spirit.
They believe that there are no masters and students in this journey. They are only here to guide you and support you in this amazing adventure.

Gratitude
I used to harbor significant apprehension about psilocybin therapy. Looking back, I find it absurd that I waited so long. It's, without a doubt, one of the most valuable gifts you can bestow upon yourself. Through this journey, I've unearthed profound insights, discovered solutions, and evolved into the finest version of myself. I've partaken in four sessions with the team, which has undeniably transformed my life. I am overflowing with gratitude. - Isabella

Right words at the right moments
He choses his words wisely and guided my attention back to loving myself, loving what is.

Healing could happen when my silence and his words met in the safe space they created.

I trust him guiding me and that trust had to be earned. I don't give it to many people

Thank you🙏

Peace and serenity
Whenever I am around her I feel like everything is alright.
Her aura and presence is calming me.

She feels me and what I need during my trip. This can't be learned in some days or in a short course

6th sense and empathy with the deep wish for others to be heathy and well is the result of a life lived well.

Iili: you are my favorite cat in the whole world.:))

Bali retreat
This review is vital for me to write. I had been grappling with severe mental health issues due to the traumas I endured during my childhood. My relationship with my family and loved ones was incredibly challenging, and I felt trapped in
a never-ending darkness. From the moment I woke up until I went to sleep, destructive thoughts consumed my mind. My vision of the future was relentlessly bleak, and I couldn't fathom a peaceful resolution. A dear friend recommended this retreat to me. I hesitated
to embark on a healing journey, but deep down, I knew I had to find a way to break free from the cage of my mind.


Following my first online interview with the team, I immediately felt a sense of safety. They exhibited the utmost professionalism and genuine care. They diligently prepared me emotionally and mentally for what lay ahead. When I arrived at
the retreat center, I was struck by its breathtaking beauty and tranquil atmosphere. I had never considered myself spiritual, but this experience completely transformed my belief system. I felt unprecedented love and connection, and my journey took on a profound
and spiritual dimension. Finally, I could discern the changes I needed to make to realize my full potential.


Months after the retreat, I was filled with positive thoughts and emotions that had eluded me for years. I made the courageous decision to change my job and now live in harmony with my loved ones.

I still vividly recall the words of Lili: "You attract into your life what you resonate with, and you can always tune your frequency higher to experience abundance in all aspects of your life." I took my first small step toward raising my frequency. I am eternally grateful to the facilitators for providing me with the unwavering attention and professional guidance I desperately needed during this challenging period.
