Ancient Medicine with Modern Application ✺
Throughout human history, psilocybin mushrooms have had tremendous medicinal and spiritual importance within cultures around the world. Recent and ongoing clinical studies only support what our predecessors already understood about the healing potential of psilocybin.
Since hosting our first retreat in 2014, MycoMeditations has become one of the longest-serving psychedelic-assisted retreat centers in the world. We create deeply therapeutic experiences with psilocybin mushrooms in natural settings, complimented by a Western, contemporary approach which is best suited for modern times.

Gold-Standard Model
Over the years, we have researched and further developed the best therapeutic practices from prestigious research institutes in pursuit of developing a gold-standard model for group psychedelic-assisted therapy. Explore and participate in one of the most advanced, evidence-based therapeutic psychedelic-assisted retreats.
Three Psilocybin Sessions
With three psilocybin mushroom sessions over the course of a week, we offer you the potential for intensive healing and growth. Most retreats offer one or two mushroom sessions; our findings clearly demonstrate that a three-dose regimen delivers the best long-term psychological outcomes for our guests.
High Dose Treatments
We are known for our willingness to administer higher doses as needed. Higher doses can be essential when working with certain acute, long-term mental health conditions. We have spent years learning and developing protocols to guide your most cathartic and transformative experiences safely.
Mental Health Focused
While our retreats can help people facing a variety of challenges, our focus has always been on providing assistance with a number of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. Guests who are routinely denied by clinical research trials or wellness-oriented centers because of the extent of these conditions are welcome here.
Environments for Everyone
We create healing environments that are non-dogmatic and accommodating to guests from diverse backgrounds, belief systems, and dispositions. Our therapy team is experienced in providing frameworks of understanding to assist you in integrating your psilocybin sessions in a way that best resonates with you.
Multiple Therapists
Our retreat staff is almost entirely composed of licensed mental health professionals who are experienced in utilizing various therapeutic modalities with psychedelics. We focus on providing you with support within a familiar Western contemporary therapeutic model.
Intimate Group Sizes
Our intimate retreats have a maximum size of 12 guests, which allows our team to cultivate extensive focus on both the group and each guest individually. In doing this, we ensure that you are provided with a plethora of therapeutic touchpoints between peer and private care.
High Team to Guest Ratio
To ensure the best care, safety, and outcomes, we typically staff our retreats with at least one therapist or facilitator for every 1.5 guests. A high team-to-guest ratio provides you with a variety of specialties and unique insights from our therapists. The availability and access to our team allows for the highest level of care throughout the week.
Extensive Support
Your retreat will include around 20 hours of group therapy discussion, and you will be provided with an unparalleled level of therapeutic support from our skilled and compassionate team. Between group discussions, private conversations, meals, and downtime, our team is ready to support you throughout your entire stay with us. Multiple online group integration sessions will follow your retreat as well.
Preparation & Integration
Prior to your retreat, you will have a Zoom consultation call with one of our therapists and receive our digital suite of materials to ensure your preparation. Following your retreat, you will remain connected with your fellow guests and retreat team through multiple group integration calls and our ongoing group networks. You will also be given access to our list of personally vetted integration therapists for any guests who would like ongoing integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I pick MycoMeditations over other psychedelic retreats? +
MycoMeditations provides three therapeutic psilocybin sessions alongside 20+ hours of integration with intimate group sizes. Our retreats are staffed with mental health professionals and have the highest team-to-guest ratio for psychedelic retreats. Most other retreat centers offer one or two doses, group sizes nearly twice as large with less support staff. MycoMeditations primarily treats guests who are struggling with various types of mental illness of all severities, which also sets us apart from most other centers. See this section for the differentiating factors between us and other psychedelic retreats or clinics.
Can I join your retreat if I have never taken psychedelics before? +
Absolutely. Many of our guests have never consumed psychedelics except for possibly some experimentation in college. Many of our guests have learned about the healing potential of psilocybin mushrooms only in the last few years from emerging psychedelic research. Our retreats are for everyday people just like you.
What will you do if I have a bad trip? +
We don’t subscribe to the notion of “bad trips,” but refer to them as challenging. When psilocybin mushrooms are taken responsibly (with the appropriate support and preparation), the experience can be extremely transformative. Our retreat program is designed to help guide you through these experiences most effectively. Our team is always there to support you during the psilocybin sessions, and through the hours of integration and discussions during the week.
Why is your retreat more expensive than others I have looked at? +
MycoMeditations is one of the world’s longest-running psilocybin-assisted therapy centers. We have spent years developing and refining our model and protocols to provide the best possible retreat experience and outcomes for our guests. We keep our guest registration per retreat lower than most, and our team-per-guest ratio very high. All our retreats are staffed with mental health professionals, who have years of experience working with clients in non-ordinary states. A typical MycoMeditations retreat may have 10 guests with 7 facilitators. Most other psychedelic retreat companies often take up to 20 guests with only 4 facilitators, many of whom may not have a mental health or trauma-informed background. Our retreats are 8-day retreats and include 3 psilocybin sessions, while most other retreat centers only offer 3 to 5-day programs with 1 or 2 sessions.
Ultimately, the cost of our retreat packages is a result of our pursuit to build the gold-standard for psychedelic-assisted retreats.
Will the retreat benefit me if I don’t have any of the conditions listed on your homepage? +
Definitely. While we have developed a reputation for hosting guests with mental health conditions, we know that psilocybin is a medicine for everybody. Whether you consider yourself healthy or not, this is likely an experience that can offer you tremendous benefits. The only requirement is that you join the retreat knowing that this is not a recreational environment, and the work can be quite heavy. There will certainly be lightness and fun throughout the week, but to build the strongest group container possible, we ask that everyone joining MycoMeditations does so ready for highly intentional work.
What does aftercare or integration following your retreat look like? +
Following each retreat, your lead therapist will host the retreat group for multiple, online, 2-hour, integration sessions. The format resembles your integration sessions from the retreat week, continuing the connection with your psilocybin experiences. Post-retreat integration sessions take place at approximately 2 weeks and 6 weeks after the retreat.
Why is the cost of the mushrooms not included in the retreat package? +
As psilocybin is not legal in most countries, we cannot include this cost in your retreat package. For this reason, we require the mushroom payment to be made separately upon your arrival at the retreat.
