Details of this retreat

Join us now this fall on September 27th to October 3rd 2025 for a transformative journey with psilocybin mushrooms and breathwork, near Lisbon, Portugal.

Plant medicine, in this case mushrooms, will open you to your own psyche, allowing you to uncover aspects of your self that have been keeping you stuck. Through the powerful connections that this medicine creates in the mind & body, you will find release, insight, inspiration, understanding, and most importantly, profound reconnection.

Rebirthing Breathwork is the purest and deepest form of breathwork as we know it today. Though it is an incredibly powerful modality on its own, in this setting it will take your medicine experiences a step further, and allow you to integrate them within your body more effectively.

Conscious food is a significant aspect of this retreat. We believe that food should not only be healthy, but also a pleasure to eat. This is why we are working with a nutrition-trained chef who specialises in healthy soul-food, which will guarantee to fuel your body the right way to optimise your week of healing.

Fantastic Experience
For many years, I have been on a path of healing – a path that has taken me through many dark chapters of my childhood and beyond. A year ago, I had my first profound and lasting positive experience with psilocybin in the Netherlands. This experience awakened in me the desire to go even deeper. So I decided to take part in the six-day Ithaca Retreat with Elvire and Jarrod.
Even during the preliminary discussions, I could sense how present, open and competent they both are. They approached me with genuine interest in my personal motivation and inner themes – a feeling of being seen and understood that touched me immediately.
I hoped that with the help of the medicine, the mindful setting and the loving guidance, I would be able to dive deeper – and I was not disappointed. It was a journey of transformation on all levels. The atmosphere was filled with mindfulness, energetic diversity and genuine warmth.
The guided sessions – meditation, breathwork, light yoga – flowed harmoniously into the psilocybin journeys. Elvire and Jarrod contributed significantly to the depth of the experiences with their musical diversity and palpable skill.
The culinary offerings were a feast for the senses, and the location in the midst of beautiful nature was a gift. I was particularly touched by how spiritual depth was combined with down-to-earth grounding – it is precisely this mixture that nourishes me and speaks to my heart.
I felt safe in our mixed group – supported by a sense of connection and genuine exchange, while at the same time having space for quiet and reflection. Elvire, Jarrod and the entire team were there for us at all times – supportive, warm and attentive.
Thank you from my heart for your work, your dedication and your presence.
With deep gratitude,
Lenne

Amazing
I did this retreat with 14 others in April 2025 and I think it would be no exaggeration to say we all had an amazing experience. Jarrod and Elvie are extremely knowledgable in this space and went above and beyond to ensure that every participant was getting what they needed from the experience. As an added plus, the venue and cuisine were out of this world. Highly recommend! Read More

Beautiful soul
Elvire is an ethereal being. She is gentle and kind and has such a warm essence.
I feel honoured to have been in her presence and learn some of her practices which I will definitely integrate into my day-to-day life.
She is extremely knowledgeable and has a true gift and it is very generous of her to share it with the world. Her singing voice is angelic also!
Thank you for the best week of my life 🫶 Read More

Great teacher and facilitator
Jarrod is amazing. He is such a genuine, kind soul and I am so grateful to have had the chance to learn from him.
He really knows his stuff and takes the time to help others understand. He runs the ceremonies with such care and love and it that really shines through. He has written some beautiful songs and has many gifts which I was lucky enough to experience over the week.
Thank you for the guidance and chats - I won’t forget it! 🫶 Read More

Life changing journey ❤️
Words are not going to come close to explaining just how wonderful the week long Pathways to Connection retreat was. I have been drawn to do a plant medicine retreat for quite some time but after months of research, nothing felt right for me.
I was close to giving up altogether but thankfully the universe aligned and I came across Ithaca retreats and I am eternally grateful. From the very first Zoom call with Elvire and Jarrod and throughout all the planning, everything felt exactly right. I was travelling from the other side of the world and so a little apprehensive when the retreat was approaching but the warmth and support I received in abundance made it easy.
The week far exceeded any expectation I had and was a truly magical experience. It’s hard to believe this was their first retreat together as everything was perfect and it feels like they have been doing this forever. The ceremonies were conducted with such care and all the integration aspects around it were really well thought out (breathwork, yoga, meditation, music etc). Elvire and Jarrod both have such beautiful voices and I need those songs in my life!
The venue is divine and it really made you feel at home (thank you Sander and Varsh) and their animals are adorable.
The meals were exceptional and the epitome of soul food. It was truly nourishing.
The group was also perfect, such beautiful souls who I feel like I’d known forever.
I cannot fault a single thing, aside from having to leave which was really sad.
I’m overflowing with gratitude and will definitely return for another one (if they will have me!!)
Thank you 🙏 Read More
