Schedule

Day 1 — Arrival, Orientation & Preparation
Guests arrive in the early afternoon at Eleusinia’s private retreat center in Valle de Bravo and are welcomed by our multidisciplinary team. After settling in with refreshments, each guest completes a private medical intake followed by an individual meeting with our Curandera (traditional healer), who offers a cultural blessing to open the retreat.
The afternoon includes a guided tour of the grounds and facilities, a personalized biomechanical mobility intake with Eleusinia’s Mind–Body Integration Specialist, and orientation sessions covering psychedelic neuroscience, safety and dosing, preparation strategies, and what to expect during macrodose experiences. The day concludes with a relaxed group dinner.

Day 2 — First Psilocybin Macrodose
The morning begins with guidance on navigating altered states, followed by breathwork, meditation, somatic awareness, and gentle biomechanical movement to calm the nervous system and prepare the body for psychedelic processing.
The macrodose begins together in The Nest before unfolding into individualized journeys across the gardens and retreat spaces. Guests explore thoughtfully designed stations including hammocks, private alcoves, cocooned seating, and indoor areas with expansive vistas, supported at a 1:2 facilitator ratio using neuroscience-based grounding and emotional regulation techniques. The experience lasts approximately 4–6 hours, followed by dinner, journaling, and informal reflection around cozy fireplaces.

Day 3 — DMT, Integration & Somatic Regulation
After breakfast, guests begin private DMT sessions supported by two facilitators, alongside their one-on-one integration sessions with either a psychotherapist or psychedelic integration specialist. These sessions translate experiences into actionable insight and behavioral change.
The afternoon includes nervous-system–informed breathwork and somatic practices to deepen mindfulness and support physical integration. The evening includes our Mushroom Cultivation class followed by group dinner.

Day 4 — Bodywork, Integration & Sensory Awareness
This midpoint day focuses on physical decompression and embodied integration. Guests participate in creative writing, continued integration sessions, optional meetings with the Curandera, and receive a one-hour massage included with the retreat.
Optional structural integration bodywork supports posture, fascia, and chronic pain patterns. Somatic practices help release stored tension, while nature walks or seasonal mushroom foraging deepen sensory awareness.
The evening features the second part of the Mushroom Cultivation class followed by a blindfolded dinner, a powerful sensory exploration highlighting perceptual changes from psychedelic work.

Day 5 — DMT Exploration & Temazcal
The day begins with a DMT extraction workshop that guests may choose to opt into, followed by breakfast.
Guests then take the day to explore independent or supported DMT sessions in their favorite garden spaces. Integration sessions and optional structural bodywork continue throughout the day.
In the afternoon, guests participate in a traditional Temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremony, offering physical relaxation, introspection, and communal support in preparation for the second macrodose.

Day 6 — Second Psilocybin Macrodose
The second macrodose is personalized based on each guest’s first experience. Medical consultations refine dosing and comfort measures, while morning breathwork, movement, and meditation revisit navigation tools.
This session supports deeper psychological processing and more active application of self-regulation skills. The evening is intentionally quiet for rest and reflection.

Day 7 — Personalized DMT, Minidose & Closing Ceremony
Guests enjoy a flexible morning with optional excursions, additional bodywork, journaling, or nature time. DMT Extraction class participants may explore independent DMT sessions again.
The minidose begins with a silent forest hike followed by guided breathwork and deep psychedelic meditation. Dinner is celebratory, featuring playful psychedelic trivia.
The retreat concludes with a cacao ceremony, a closing gathering for reflection, integration, and honoring each guest’s journey.

Day 8 — Departure & Transition Home
After a final group breakfast and optional poetry sharing, guests return to Mexico City for onward travel.
Guests leave with embodied insight, practical integration tools, and continued access to Eleusinia’s online community and weekly integration circles.

A Life Changing Experience

It has taken me some time to communicate what I experienced at Eleusinia. I went there with no expectations. I just needed some relief from the grief and trauma that I couldn’t heal from. I was paralyzed emotionally and had lost my passion for living, an internal fault line, a void. Nothing in Western medicine that I had tried was working.

What I encountered at Eleusinia was an extraordinary cathartic journey back to my true self and peace, finally peace. Really, a miracle for me to find such an authentic, science-based solution delivered by such caring experts in an incredibly beautiful setting.

I have already booked my return to Eleusinia to further explore my inner potential and be free to be happy. I didn’t think it was possible. Thank you, Eleusinia

The most profound experience surrounded by wonderful experts

It's been two full weeks since my retreat at Eleusinia and I have taken some time to process the journey. Everybody's experience of psychedelics will be different, and I want my review to not be about my individual experience but everything that made it so wonderful.

Firstly: I'm a cynic. I believe in the scientific method and evidence based decisions and this proliferates around almost every choice Jessica and J make. Everything is explained extremely clearly and thoughtfully and every decision has been judiciously made to ensure the best possible chance of having a great experience.

I would extend that to all of the staff. Every single one of them went above and beyond to ensure we were not just comfortable and reassured but also felt deeply connected and supported. Whether that was putting a fire on in the living room as the night drew in, bringing us an extra lemonade when we were thirsty or having the time for a deep and meaningful conversation.. the whole team there should be extremely proud.

It's also worth taking a moment to mention the setting. Incredibly, the photos do not do the place justice. The surroundings really are beyond breathtaking and whether that's the natural area or the buildings themselves you feel safe, comfortable and surrounded by natural beauty. That includes Bernie!

For me, the impact of the two psychedelic experiences have been beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I can genuinely say that this is the longest period for several decades where I have haven't felt anxious or riddled with depression. I know the journey is just beginning - and there is a lot of reintegration work left for me but what has been possible from the retreat surpassed my wildest dreams.

Thank you all.

The most worthwhile trip you will ever take.

Pun intended.

Jessica and her team have created the perfect environment for a psychedelic journey. Whether you are interested in the scientific methodology of psilocybin, or the spiritual connection to this ancient medicine, they have you covered. They act as caretakers for you to make your discoveries so you won't need to worry about anything. They offer additional classes that will help you expand your experience in a way6 that works for you, but offer enough in the base retreat that you will miss nothing on your own.

This was the deepest, most profound human connection I have ever made. The whole group connected easier than making fast friends as a child. The staff encourage the guests to interact with conversation and help avoid the creation of cliques, ensuring even the shyiest individuals will be able to find a deep connection with others. The kitchen staff created delicious meals to bond over, making every meal a wonderful shared experience.

Even the most hesitant guests was able to find a worthwhile experience between the macrodose, mini-dose, and DMT experience. Even if you find psychedelics aren't for you, the resort itself is one of the most relaxing and healing experiences that will make the journey worth your time. Eleusinia offers full length experiences, or a shorter stay for those who are unsure if it will be worthwhile. And they even offer a discounted rate for those who want to return to expand their experience.

Easily the most 10 out of 10 experience I've ever had. Would definitely take a "trip" here again.

BEYOND BRILLIANT

🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃

Jessica and Jay have co-created ELEUSINIA, a stunning retreat space on a 100 acre gated private compound that includes multiple verdant gardens, ancient trees, creeks, waterfalls, forests - and with all of that lush background - many birds, butterflies + other creatures to share this really beautiful special enclave.

They offer an incredible series of curated experiences daily to guide you thru your plant medicine journey with the best of support systems available to include:

* the aforementioned grounds to enable connectedness/oneness with nature

* very comfortable private rooms with en suite baths

* medical doctor + nurse practitioner for any potential needed medical care

* curandera/shaman to grace you with their ancient spiritual knowledge + ceremonies

* a meditation + a breath-work instructor to relax you into a blissful pre-experience state

* a bodyworker + a massage therapist for your physical wellbeing

* well trained chefs creating absolutely delicious + nutrition dense vegan or vegetarian meals, made with extreme love + care

but most importantly, Jessica imparts her vast knowledge of hallucinogens - in particular Psilocybin + DMT (Mimosa tenuiflora) - the only two plant medicines used at this retreat.

In addition, Jessica teaches classes + “where to” purchase links so you can learn to create your own DMT here-forward, to continue on your experiences independently.

Lastly they offer an online community for former retreat goers to share information, thoughts + stories AND weekly integration meetups to help you continue on your path with others of like mind.

Personally speaking, this retreat was not always very easy for me, it was very cathartc + at one point, i didn’t really want to continue. Headache, flu like feelings/achiness, some sleeplessness however when all of those symptoms dissipated, i felt an incredible lightness of being. And then the sleep was deep, the mind peaceful yet alert.

I am still processing everything (we just left yesterday) but i honestly feel that there isn’t anyone or anything that even comes close to the high standards + level of what Jessica + Jay and their incredibly compassionate + competent Eleusinia staff offer. It’s life changing, so much for the better. Definitely the most powerful, profound experience i have gone thru in my life thus far.

Spectacular, extraordinary and safe

I spent 3 years deciding how and where to explore psilocybin. After attending the 8 day retreat one of my sources of gratitude was choosing Eleusinia.
I can’t imagine anything that would have made the experience more enriching, valuable or comfortable. Jessica, who designed the program overlooked no detail. Her vision and understanding of her attendees can’t be exceeded. Jay, Emilio, Allison, Ari, Andrew, and all the behind the scenes support staff are not only fulfilling their duties, they’re doing it with zest and imagination. Having my first experiences with psilocybin and DMT at this retreat has affected my life in more positive ways than I can express. I leave this review to encourage anyone considering a journey like this to take this step forward in life. And I wholeheartedly suggest choosing Eleusinia.
