Rose Waters Sanctuary

This was truly a transformative experience. I have done a lot of work over the years but really felt I had more healing to do. My journey with plant medicine allowed me to experience the most profound healing of my life. I walked away feeling lighter, less anger and less hurt. I have a sense of peace around my relationship with my mother that I never thought possible. And the facilitators do such a beautiful job creating a sacred and safe space to do the work. I felt so nurtured and cared for. This was life changing!

It would be difficult to overstate how impressed and moved I am by the recent women's retreat at Rose Waters Sanctuary that I attended. My direct experience with psilocybin - a real first for me - was profound and something I expect to carry forward in many ways. That gift was made possible not only by the journey itself, but by everything Sarah, Brianna, Keri, and Rosalie so thoughtfully wrapped around it: the care poured into every aspect of the retreat, from the schedule and facilitated discussions to the meals and beautiful setting. With deep gratitude and hope that many others will benefit from what the Sanctuary offers.

Words can't adequately describe my experience with Rose Waters Sanctuary. My journey was emotional and difficult at times, but Sarah, Jamie, and Brianna walked us through every moment with so much love, patience, and care. They are truly exceptional humans, and the support they offered before, during, and after the retreat meant more than I can say. I'm still processing my experience, but I don't need to have everything figured out to know how much my time there meant to me. Sarah, Jamie, and Brianna have created something very special. If you're on the fence, go for it and know you'll be incredibly well cared for.

I went with a healthy curiosity, readiness to explore, and undefined expectations. I finished the retreat in a space I did not previously know was possible nor existed. The support, guidance and leadership from the Rose Waters' facilitators was faultless, with every person taking part in the retreat expressing gratitude for every aspect of the experience. The environment throughout was gentle, thoughtful, insightful, respectful, supportive and carefully protected. The facilitators' attention to personal preparation prior to the retreat along with a heavy focus on integration for post-retreat made a demonstrable difference. And finally, Rose Waters' interest in supporting participants going forward to continually facilitate personal growth is so greatly appreciated and speaks for their earnest mission.

There are absolutely no words to be able to convey how incredible and life changing this retreat was for me. Sarah as well as our other guides Rosalie and Kerri are forever tied to my soul and I just don’t know how to say thank you enough for all that they did for me before, during, and after the retreat. If you have any hesitation in saying yes to doing a psilocybin retreat, know that you will be in the most incredible hands of Sarah to guide you through your journey. You don’t have to be courageous, you just have to be willing. Trust the process.
