5 Day Women's Only Psilocybin Retreat in Spain

“Retreat is not an absence; rather it is the search for a true presence”
GEORGES GUSDORF

Would you like to experience the power of teacher plants in a safe environment exclusively for women? We understand that women need spaces created by and for women, which is why Femtheogen is a retreat center EXCLUSIVELY with this purpose. We offer a 5-day retreat where you can reconnect with your true essence in between mountains of the Mediterranean coast, near the beautiful city of Valencia, surrounded by lavender fields and organic agriculture.

We are certain that the change in the world depends on female empowerment, on reclaiming our place in society, and supporting each other on this healing journey as the sisters we are. During this retreat, you will have the opportunity to meet other women like you who come to heal and reclaim their inner strength. You will be surrounded by a team of facilitators, medicine women, nutrition specialists, and psychologysts who will provide support before, during, and after the retreat.

On the first day of the retreat, you will have the opportunity to approach the medicine (psilocybin mushrooms) in a loving and careful manner, through a cacao ceremony with a mushrooms microdosis, preparing you for a safe and transformative journey within yourself on the third day. The ceremonies will be supported by live medicine music that will guide your healing journey.

Throughout the retreat, there will be various preparation and integration activities to support your process of healing and growth. It is an opportunity to reconnect to Mother Nature and feel once again part of the Whole, the Unity, in a network of sisterhood. We will introduce some holistic health practices through yoga, nutrition and care of our body, that will launch our own being towards the highest wellbeing in the body, in the mind and in the energetic plane.

Ancestral medicines can open doors to our subconscious, allowing us to heal our deepest wounds. They give us the opportunity to connect with our divinity, as written by María Sabina, "the spirit woman," shaman or Chjota Chjine (the one who knows), known for her knowledge of plant medicine and the sacred mushroom, known as Teonanacatl, which she lovingly called "little angels" or "little children." In her own words:

"There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far yet near and invisible. It is where God, the dead, and the saints reside. A world where everything has already happened, and everything is known. That world speaks. It has its own language. I transmit what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and leads me to the world where everything is known. There are the sacred mushrooms that speak in a certain way that I can understand. I ask them, and they answer me. When I return from the journey I have taken with them, I say what they have told me and what they have shown me."

FEMTHEOGEN is a word and a concept as itself. Fem (comes from the word feminine) and entheogen, derived frim Greek entheos (that contains God within), refers to vegetable substances - or a preparation/combination of vegetable substances - that once consumed, can induce altered states of consciousness.

The concept FEMTHEOGEN refers to the feminine sacredness that these altered states of consciousness can induce; the experiences with entheogens can repare this illusory state of separation and we can feel connected with the Unity and the Mother.

FEMTHEOGEN is born from the union of spiritual sisters that recognised each other in the healing path, working together in ancestral medicines retreats. We felt that even though the work that we were doing was helping many brothers and sisters, we wanted to create a sacred space for women to heal. A space where they can feel safe and understood, because we know that individual wounds are also collective wounds and if one of us heals, we all heal. Because our individual crisis translate into the social and global crisis that we face nowadays.
After many ceremonies together, the conversations to make this collective dream come true began. One night, after a ceremony with ancestral medicines, we decided to take this step in order to help women heal and empower themselves and in this way, help the masculine collective as well.

That is why we created this space, cared for from the beginning, conceived with love, respect and with the sole intention of healing together as sisters on this Earth that we must respect and treat with care as well, this Earth that we have been hurting for centuries and to which we owe everything that we have. Our mission goes beyond species, as all beings and all the other animals are sacred as well. That is why in our retreats, we will promote conscious eating, with plant based food and with our love for the knowledge of the plants. We will show you how to use medicinal plants and together, we will foster and grow global eco-consciousness.
