This 8-day retreat is designed for guests exploring psychedelics as a support for sobriety. Guided by medical staff with experience in addiction care, participants take part in psilocybin and DMT sessions intended to support brain healing, interrupt destructive patterns, and encourage a more stable path forward in recovery.
All rates are based on single occupancy. A second guest may be added to the room for a flat fee of $3,650, which covers all retreat activities and services. Airport transport is included.
Your journey begins with a 10-point preparation checklist. Education is a central part of the process, with materials that explain the neuroscience and mechanisms behind psychedelics in clear detail. Alongside this, guests receive coaching in neuroscience-based skills, techniques, and exercises designed to help them move through each session with greater clarity and confidence.
Psilocybin is presented here as a tool for recovery with the potential to restore, reset, and support healing. Its anti-inflammatory qualities may help damaged brain tissue recover, while its pattern-disrupting effects can interrupt cycles of sabotage, habit, and self-criticism that often accompany addiction. Mood-enhancing effects further support recovery by encouraging a more compassionate relationship with the self.
Sessions take place in lush garden spaces that offer immersion in nature while preserving privacy. Each experience lasts 4 to 6 hours and is carefully structured for safety and depth. Dosages are tailored to individual needs, with neuroscience-based support offered throughout to help participants navigate the experience and integrate what arises.
The program includes two macrodose sessions, each approached with care. After the first session, the team reviews the guest’s experience in detail, including emotional tone, physical sensations, and the integration process. Many guests in recovery notice a meaningful shift between the first and second macrodose, often finding the second experience more vivid and rewarding as clarity returns and sensitivity increases.
With both macrodose and minidose work, the retreat offers a broad range of psychedelic experiences that support both insight and long-term sustainability in sobriety.
DMT is described as a deeply psychedelic experience, often marked by vivid sensations and striking visual phenomena. As a non-specific amplifier, it can intensify auditory, visual, emotional, and somatic perception, creating a highly personal session that may offer meaningful insights relevant to recovery.
Its value for guests in recovery also lies in its effect on Sigma-1 receptors, which supports anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits. In this way, DMT is framed not only as a psychological or spiritual experience, but also as one that may support physical healing in the brain.
Sessions are held individually with two facilitators present for safety and focus. Each lasts 10 to 15 minutes and is designed for full immersion without distraction. Despite their short duration, these sessions often become defining moments in the retreat, with many guests seeing them as a powerful anchor for lasting progress.
Because DMT does not create short-term tolerance, it can be used more frequently during the retreat, allowing the therapeutic process to continue with less loss of sensitivity.
Psychedelic experiences can be illuminating, but they can also feel confusing or overwhelming. Integration helps document, interpret, and give meaning to those moments so they remain part of a larger healing process rather than fading away.
Here, integration takes place in private one-on-one sessions with practitioners who specialize in addiction recovery. These meetings create a safe, nonjudgmental space focused on moving forward, helping guests reflect on sessions, record insights, and connect them to the work of sustaining sobriety.
Support is also available for those who encounter challenging experiences, with guidance for processing and preparing for future sessions. Sessions may be recorded for later reflection or to share with a therapist at home.
For guests seeking a spiritual layer, private integration with the curandera is also available, drawing on traditional Mexican mushroom practices. Group meditation coaching further supports the process with mindfulness and somatic awareness.
Research using fMRI shows meaningful similarities between brain activity during meditation and psychedelic states. For guests in recovery, this connection can be especially helpful: psychedelics may offer a glimpse of deep meditative awareness, while meditation provides a grounding practice that supports more comfortable and focused sessions.
Throughout the retreat, meditation and breathwork are used before, during, and after select psychedelic experiences. Before sessions, they help prepare body and mind. During sessions, they offer a steady anchor. Afterward, they help guests reconnect with the insights and sensations of the experience.
Post-macrodose meditation and breathwork classes are intended to help participants rediscover psychedelic-like states through guided practice, giving them tools they can continue using in daily life to support clarity, resilience, and emotional balance.
The mushroom cultivation course gives participants practical skills they can use beyond the retreat. Designed around safe, accessible, and legal supplies, it teaches guests how to grow their own mushrooms and maintain a sustainable practice that supports healing over time.
Guests gain hands-on experience at each stage of the process, building knowledge and self-reliance. For those in sobriety, this course offers a way to continue therapeutic work in a structured and intentional way.
This optional add-on class ($275) teaches the technique for extracting DMT from legal, easy-to-source plant materials. It is presented as a way for guests to continue benefiting from DMT’s therapeutic and neuroprotective qualities after the retreat.
A fully integrated medical team is on-site 24 hours a day throughout the retreat to help ensure comfort and security. The team has extensive experience supporting people in addiction recovery, creating an environment that feels both safe and understanding. While this is not a detox center, guests are encouraged to arrive with at least a few weeks of sobriety to avoid dangerous withdrawal symptoms and to get the most from the experience.
Retreat groups are kept intimate, with approximately 10 participants and a maximum of 14.
Optional intravenous therapies are available to support overall wellness by delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Formulations may include Vitamin C, Glutathione, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin B-12, and Chromium, with the goal of supporting immune function, detox, energy, focus, and recovery.
IV therapy sessions ($185-$220) are scheduled on days without psilocybin activities so they can be administered safely and effectively.
One evening features an eight-course dinner with one sense removed: sight. The result is a direct encounter with taste, aroma, texture, and attention.
This is not presented as entertainment, but as practice. Without visual input, the brain’s predictions loosen their hold, allowing the other senses to come forward with greater clarity. Flavor feels richer, texture becomes more distinct, and expectation becomes easier to notice.
The experience reflects Eleusinia’s broader philosophy: neuroscience is not treated as theory alone, but as something lived and felt. When the blindfolds are removed, guests often realize the meal was also a lesson in how perception is shaped.
Guests receive 6 months of free membership to an online community for past retreat participants, where they can share stories, experiences, and post-retreat progress. The network also connects them with fellow guests and team members, including those who attended earlier retreats.
Group discussions focus on post-retreat wellness practices, dosing protocols, success stories, challenges, and improvements. The space is designed to support continued learning and growth.
Guests arrive in the afternoon at the private mountain estate, traveling by private shuttle from Mexico City. The day includes a welcome snack of tamales and champurrado, medical intake meetings, a neuroscience-based presentation on psychedelics, and a welcome session with the curandera. This first day is designed to ground the group and prepare them for the work ahead.
