Schedule


Each day follows a clear arc: we start with embodied movement (yoga/5Rhythms) to drop into the body, then move into inside-out workshops that layer Eastern mindfulness (noting, body-scan, loving awareness), Western psychology (IFS-informed empathy, circling, somatic release, Map of Consciousness), and Southern shamanic ritual (tea ceremony, elements blessings) to build presence, courage, and connection; after a mid-day break for rest and nourishment, we reconvene for guided group ceremony and evening integrations—progressing across the week through the pillars of Mind → Body → Spirit → Heart → Soul.

Master Weaver of Sacred Space and Musical Artist
Kedar’s wisdom and support during my Ceremonia Awaken retreat was perfect. He helped me navigate my transformative experiences with such love that I found the courage to push myself to go deeper than I may have otherwise. And that made all the difference for me. I am so grateful for the experience. Kedar’s music is sacred and beautiful and fuels the inner journey in such a powerful way. And I absolutely love his knowing laugh!

So Incredibly Supportive
Austin Mao created such a sacred container for transformative experiences. The setting, the curriculum, the team of facilitators, the food, the absolute support was impeccable. He shares his heartfelt wisdom freely and holds the healing space with love and vision. I felt safe and well cared for, which enabled me to experience healing beyond my hopes and expectations.

My Ceremonia Awakening Retreat Healed Fifty Years of Residual Trauma in my Body
I’m so grateful for my healing experiences during my Awakening retreat. And I’m deeply grateful for the community bonding and integration support woven into the program. I’ve come away with greater happiness and feelings of peace that may very well be permanent if I continue that intention and use the internal tools I’ve gained. After over fifty years of holding trauma in my body I can literally breathe deeper and can more easily access feelings of peace.
I researched many psilocybin retreat offerings before I signed up, because I wanted to make sure I would be safe. My experiences during the retreat and my outcome could not have been better. This was a powerfully sacred event and the facilitators made it safe for me to do deeply healing inner work.
As a survivor of severe trauma during my childhood, teen years and early adulthood, and even though I’ve done decades of healing work, I was aware deeply buried trauma would likely show up during my journeys. My goal was to stop feeling stuck in negative patterns, and to embody peace and happiness, which is exactly what unfolded. My journeys were difficult in the beginning, and required I brave up and go through somatic release of those old wounds. I did, and on the other side I found bliss, happiness, hope, and a deeper connection to peace, love and the sacred. I know this is a permanent shift in me towards greater joy in my life. I’m incredibly grateful for the heartfelt and skillful container Ceremonia provides for accelerated personal growth.

Connection, Community and Deep Work!
The April 2026 Awaken retreat held in Denver, CO was curated and orchestrated with profound intention. The administration of the entire experience was nurturing, caring and impeccable. And I believe I have made lifelong connections with the other participants and leadership team.

The food was fresh, tasty, thoughtful and abundant. I wish I could have taken the chefs home with me.

The music (live and digital) was EXCEPTIONAL in every possible way. For me, the music was EVERYTHING.

The only issue that felt out of alignment with the quality of the whole experience was the sleeping accomodations. We stayed in various short-term rentals throughout Denver and the quality varied a lot, to the point that some rooms were bad enough to have to move people out and shuffle quite a bit. It almost felt like we were staying in youth hostels. For the price of the retreat, I expected a different quality in that regard.

5 Stars – Finally, a pain management clinic that actually gets it. In my personal opinion, Ceramonia in Colorado is truly leading the way in pain management. I’ve been to several other clinics, but none compare to the level of care, innovation, and genuine compassion I’ve experienced here. From cutting-edge treatments to a team that listens like no other, they don’t just mask the pain—they help you understand and manage it long-term. If you’re tired of the same old runaround, do yourself a favor and go to Ceramonia. They’re setting a new standard.
