  • WHY TO JOIN A COMBINED THERAPY?
  • Combining psilocybin and MDMA therapy offers a deeply transformative experience, accelerating the healing process by addressing emotional wounds, trauma, and personal growth from multiple angles. These two medicines work in harmony—psilocybin opens the door to profound insights and self-discovery, while MDMA provides a deep sense of emotional safety and connection. Together, they create a unique path toward healing, self-love, and transformation.
  • Healing Trauma & PTSD:
  • MDMA gently reduces fear and defensiveness while increasing emotional openness, making it easier to process painful memories without being overwhelmed. Psilocybin, on the other hand, promotes deep introspection and helps reframe past experiences, leading to profound emotional release and healing. Together, they create a safe space to confront and integrate trauma with greater clarity and self-compassion.
  • Overcoming Depression & Anxiety:
  • Psilocybin shifts perception, dissolving negative thought loops and fostering a sense of connection and hope. MDMA enhances feelings of safety, allowing participants to explore emotions without anxiety. This combination brings lasting relief from depression and anxiety, often achieving results in a few sessions that traditional therapies may take years to accomplish.
  • Deepening Self-Awareness & Personal Growth:
  • Psilocybin expands consciousness, helping individuals explore their subconscious and uncover deep-seated patterns. MDMA nurtures self-acceptance, making it easier to integrate these insights with love and understanding. This synergy promotes long-term personal development, clarity, and emotional resilience.
  • Strengthening Relationships & Couples Therapy:
  • MDMA enhances communication, empathy, and trust, allowing couples to address relationship challenges in a loving and open-hearted way. Psilocybin fosters a deeper sense of unity and shared purpose, creating a transformative experience that strengthens emotional bonds and reignites connection.
  • Why This Approach is Safe in Therapy:
  • Unlike alcohol and many recreational drugs, both MDMA and psilocybin have low toxicity, are non-addictive, and do not cause physical dependence. In a therapeutic setting, doses are carefully measured, and experienced guides provide a secure and supportive environment. This ensures that participants can fully surrender to the process with trust and confidence, leading to deep and lasting healing.
  • By combining these two powerful medicines, the healing journey becomes more profound, effective, and accelerated—unlocking new levels of emotional freedom, self-discovery, and inner peace.

Details of this retreat

HOW PSYCHEDELICS WORK?

MDMA and psilocybin work in unique but complementary ways to support deep healing.

MDMA increases serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine levels, creating feelings of warmth, connection, and emotional openness. It helps reduce fear and defensiveness, making it easier to process difficult emotions and traumatic memories. That’s why it has shown great success in clinical trials for PTSD and trauma therapy.

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, works by temporarily altering brain activity, reducing rigid thought patterns, and enhancing emotional processing. It allows for deep introspection, spiritual insights, and relief from anxiety and depression. Clinical research has shown its effectiveness in treating depression and end-of-life anxiety.
Both substances, when used in a guided therapeutic setting, help rewire the brain, promote emotional breakthroughs, and support long-lasting healing.

WHAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DURING A PSILOCYBIN AND MDMA SESSION

Psychedelic therapy with psilocybin and MDMA can be a deeply profound, emotional, and healing journey. Each person’s experience is unique, but here’s what you may encounter during these transformative sessions:

With psilocybin, you may experience:

• Heightened Perception – Colors may appear more vivid, sounds richer, and nature more alive.
• Emotional Release – Long-held emotions may surface, allowing you to process grief, trauma, or unresolved feelings in a safe and supportive space.
• Deep Introspection – Psilocybin encourages self-exploration, helping you gain clarity about your life, relationships, and patterns.
• Mystical & Spiritual Insights – Many report a sense of interconnectedness, a feeling of unity with nature, or profound spiritual realizations.
• Liberation from the Ego – You may experience a shift in perspective, seeing yourself and your life from a broader, more compassionate lens.

Carefully curated music, gentle guidance, and a nurturing environment help you navigate this journey with trust and surrender.

MDMA Therapy Session – The Heart-Opening Medicine:
The day after the psilocybin session, the MDMA session provides a complementary experience:
• A Deep Sense of Safety & Comfort – MDMA fosters a profound feeling of trust, love, and emotional openness.
• Clarity in Processing Trauma – Unlike psilocybin’s abstract insights, MDMA allows you to revisit difficult memories without fear or overwhelm, helping you process them with understanding and self-compassion.
• Strengthened Connection – Whether you are working on personal healing or relationships, MDMA can deepen emotional bonds and communication.
• Inner Peace & Self-Acceptance – Many experience a newfound sense of self-love, forgiveness, and lightness, leaving behind emotional burdens that no longer serve them.
• Enhanced Integration – Following a deep psilocybin journey, MDMA helps to ground and integrate insights, bringing emotional balance and a sense of completion.

SUGGESTIONS FOR JOURNEY PREPARATION:

• In the days leading up to the retreat, we recommend practicing mindfulness, journaling, and setting clear intentions for your experience. A digital detox is essential to disconnect from distractions and fully immerse yourself in the process. Additionally, for five days before the retreat, a light vegetarian diet will help cleanse the body and prepare your system for the journey. Embracing this preparation with patience and openness will support a deep and transformative experience.

THE THERAPY

A combined Psilocybin and MDMA therapy is designed to create a deep, transformative healing experience. Each medicine plays a unique role in guiding you through emotional release, self-discovery, and profound inner healing.

DAY 1: ARRIVAL AND INTRODUCTION

Your journey begins the moment you arrive at our serene retreat space, surrounded by nature’s beauty. As you step onto the land, you will be welcomed with warmth and kindness by our experienced facilitators, who are here to support you throughout your transformation.
After your arrival, you’ll have time to settle into your accommodation, explore the peaceful surroundings, and gently transition from daily life into the retreat experience. Whether you choose to relax, take a quiet walk, or connect with fellow participants, this time is meant to help you feel grounded and at ease. We will come together for a nourishing dinner, where you can meet all group members. After dinner, your guides will gently begin preparing you for the journey ahead.

DAY 2: PSILOCYBIN CEREMONY- A JOURNEY INWARD

The retreat begins with a guided meditation before the opening circle, allowing you to quiet the mind, connect with your intentions, and prepare for the journey ahead. During the opening circle, we set a safe and supportive space where participants can share their feelings and receive guidance from experienced facilitators.

The Psilocybin ceremony is a deeply introspective experience. Taken in a comfortable setting, the journey unfolds over 4-6 hours, guided by carefully curated music designed to enhance emotions, visuals, and self-reflection. Psilocybin opens the subconscious, allowing suppressed emotions and insights to emerge with clarity and compassion. This session can bring profound realizations, emotional breakthroughs, and a deep sense of connection to oneself, others, and the Universe.

The evening is dedicated to gentle relaxation, allowing your body and mind to unwind. You may choose to meditate, journal, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A nourishing vegetarian dinner will be served, prepared with fresh local ingredients to support your well-being. If you feel the call for it, you can connect with other fellow travelers and share laughter and exchange thoughts.

DAY 3: MDMA CEREMONY– A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

The following day, after a nourishing breakfast and reflection time, the MDMA ceremony begins. While Psilocybin works by opening the subconscious, MDMA provides emotional safety, making it easier to process difficult emotions without fear or resistance. It enhances self-love, connection, and empathy, allowing for deep emotional healing.
Like the Psilocybin journey, the MDMA session takes place in a peaceful setting with carefully selected music that supports the unfolding experience. The session lasts around 5-6 hours, during which participants feel a deep sense of warmth, trust, and emotional openness. Many experience relief from past traumas, newfound clarity, and a heart-opening sense of love and connection.

DAY 4: INTEGRATION & CLOSING CIRCLE

After a long rest, you can have a delicious breakfast and may be after a nice swim in the lake, we will start our integration session. In this safe and supportive space, you’re welcome to openly share your experiences and receive gentle guidance on how to integrate your healing journey into everyday life.

Transformative experience
My experience was undeniably mystical. The concept of 'I' or my ego dissolved, and I transcended into pure light energy, akin to a divine source. I learned that this physical body holds little significance and Time is a non-existent construct in the Universe. I tapped into my boundless potential as both a luminous and human being. It stands as the most profoundly transformative experience of my life. I am immensely grateful to the team. Read More

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 Read More

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.

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🙏
