Day 1
Arrival and Presentations – Guests are picked up from the Airport Hotel in an air-conditioned Mercedes Sprinter bus and arrive in the early afternoon at Eleusinia’s private 100-acre retreat center, located in the picturesque lakeside community of Valle de Bravo, Mexico, often referred to as the "Hamptons of Mexico City." Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by the retreat team, which includes facilitators, medical professionals, and support staff. They are given time to settle in and connect with other attendees while enjoying snacks and refreshments. Each guest will have an initial one-on-one medical intake with a member of Eleusinia’s medical team, as well as an opportunity to meet individually with Eleusinia’s Curandera, a traditional Mexican mushroom practitioner, who offers a spiritual cleansing and blessing for their journey. Guests will also receive a tour of the Eleusinia grounds to become familiar with the surroundings.
In the late afternoon, presentations cover the neuroscience of psychedelics, preparation for the upcoming macrodose, Eleusinia’s approach to "intention setting," and a formal introduction to the Eleusinia team. This is followed by an intimate group dinner on our veranda, prepared by our gourmet chef.
Day 2
The morning begins with a follow-up presentation on navigating a psychedelic journey, alongside a discussion of the tools and techniques we use to support our guests throughout their experience. Guests are further introduced to the thoughtfully curated garden spaces, designed specifically to enrich their journey. Eleusinia’s breathwork and meditation coach leads them through a series of exercises in preparation for the macrodose.
The session begins as a group in our meditation structure, affectionately called "The Nest," and soon transitions to a more personal experience across our expansive gardens and private alcoves. Each area features carefully curated stations designed to deepen the journey, offering options like relaxing in a hammock, cozy cocoon-like seating, or lounging in spacious living rooms with floor-to-ceiling views. Every setting is meticulously crafted to provide a unique and exploratory environment, all under the attentive care of our facilitators (1:2 ratio). These spaces integrate neuroscience-based tools and techniques to assist in navigating the psychedelic journey, which lasts approximately 4-6 hours.
Evenings are spent unwinding by the fire, providing a space for reflection, journaling, or engaging in informal conversations with team members and fellow guests about their experiences.
Day 3
Day 3 is focused on DMT, integration, meditation classes, and massage. It’s a full day at Eleusinia. Each guest participates in individual DMT sessions after the group breakfast, supported by Eleusinia’s facilitators, with a ratio of two facilitators per guest. After lunch, small group classes in breathwork, mindfulness, and TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) are led by our breathwork and meditation coach, along with one-on-one integration sessions with either our psychotherapist or a specialist trained in psychedelic integration.
The afternoon includes a massage session followed by our Mushroom Cultivation Course and a lively group dinner. Each guest receives a personalized schedule, with breaks interspersed to allow time for socializing with other guests, resting, or exploring the grounds. Guests also have the option to record their individual integration sessions for sharing with family members or therapists back home.
Day 4
For guests who have opted for the class, Day 4 begins with an early morning DMT extraction workshop. Later, the group breakfast includes a creative writing exercise designed to compliment the psychedelic integration process. After breakfast, participants enjoy some leisurely time in the garden, exploring individual DMT sessions to further develop their navigation techniques. Throughout the day, one-on-one integration meetings with our curandera are available for those seeking a cultural and spiritual perspective.
In preparation for the minidose, there is a meditation session that incorporates Wim Hof breathing techniques and other practices aimed at enhancing the psychedelic experience. The minidose session begins with a cold plunge to boost endorphin and norepinephrine levels, preparing participants for the deeply meditative state of the minidose. Immediately after the cold plunge, we start the minidose, spending the rest of the afternoon in deep psychedelic meditation exploring the garden or relaxing by the fire.
Dinner following the minidose is a lively event, featuring psychedelic trivia to reinforce the knowledge gained throughout the retreat. The evening concludes with a cacao ceremony, offering a reflective and ceremonial end to the day.
