Discover the healing potential of psychedelics in relationship to yourself, the people around you, and the wider universe.

This unique retreat weaves together Buddhist wisdom, meditation, psychedelics, and transpersonal psychology, creating a rare opportunity to explore Dharma and psychedelic experience side by side. Rather than approaching life’s biggest questions as ideas alone, you are invited to meet them directly through lived experience.

It’s an invitation to quiet the noise and reconnect with what truly matters. You may explore a psychedelic journey through a Buddhist or spiritual lens, engage with Buddhist teachings alongside advanced practitioners, and discover a path that feels authentic to you.

Perhaps psychedelics have already opened a door for you, revealing something about consciousness, reality, or yourself that cannot be unseen. You may now feel drawn to Dharma as a way to continue that exploration. Or perhaps your path began with meditation and Buddhism, and you are curious about what may unfold through psychedelics. Either way, this retreat offers a space to explore both together.

This is more than a single experience — it is a six-week journey designed to support deep and lasting transformation.

Before the retreat

Build a strong foundation for the journey ahead with a live group preparation call led by the facilitators. You’ll also receive curated resources and exercises to support intention-setting, plus time to connect with your group before arrival.

At the retreat

Go inward and connect more deeply with yourself, others, and the universe. The retreat includes a guided psilocybin ceremony in a safe, supported setting, along with daily transformational workshops and practices. One-on-one support is provided before and after your journey.

After the retreat

Bring your insights into everyday life with care and continuity. Three live integration calls offer ongoing support and transformation, while practical tools help you translate your experience into real-world change. You’ll also continue to receive group support and community.

The retreat center in Almería, Spain is a hidden oasis in the Mediterranean foothills, with swimming pools, mountain views, and an eco-luxury atmosphere.

Why I do this work: It brings me deep joy and purpose to witness profound transformation in just a few days. I also value the chance to work alongside some of the kindest people I know. My own experience has shown me that there is an entire universe within us, filled with exquisite qualities, and I want everyone to find their way there. The world needs more people willing to open their hearts.

How psychedelics changed my life: They have offered direct, unforgettable experiences of core Buddhist and spiritual truths. They have deepened my sense of what it means to be human, opened my eyes to beauty, pattern, and mystery, and helped me stay connected to playfulness, joy, and creativity. They have given me precious memories with friends, supported deeper honesty, and shown me what real connection can feel like.

A book I wish everyone could read: I wish people spent as many hours practicing meditation and learning the inner workings of the mind as they do in school, university, at work, or reading books.

My advice for someone getting ready for a retreat: Whatever arises, your body and being can process it. Everything that appears is part of your inner universe, and there is truly nothing to fear. Openness and softness are our greatest strengths.
