About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

We are a nonprofit association offering legal, individual 1:1 psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions with magic mushrooms (Psilocybe cubensis) to those in need. We are graduates of Somatic Plant Medicine Integration certification and have completed professional training in the Trauma-informed Plant Medicine Masterclass offered by Atira Tan. We are signatories of the North Star ethics pledge for psychedelic practitioners, guided by integrity and sincerity as foundational principles in our work.

Based on the standard protocol for clinical practice developed by Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and others, our sessions are conducted individually, in comfortable, quiet, cosy indoor environments, close to nature, with one or more monitors present at all times to offer non-intrusive, non-directive care and support. We invite individuals to embark on a long-term, multi-stage journey with us, in which the session itself is merely one phase.

Our approach is grounded in psychosomatic therapy and incorporates elements of Dr Peter Levine´s Somatic Experiencing, Dr David Bercelli´s Trauma Release Exercises, emotional release exercises from the Reichian tradition of body-based psychoanalysis, and breathwork-based methods of nervous-system autoregulation.

Schedule

To ensure the experience of everyone is as beneficial as possible, we do not host group retreats but invite individuals to embark on a long-term, multi-stage journey with us, in which the session itself is merely one phase. During the intake phase, we conduct a thorough medical and psychological pre-screening process to ensure the safety of the experience for all candidates.

Once applications are accepted and dates arranged, the preparation phase includes the presentation of introductory educational content, and an introductory video interview to get to know each other and to discuss intentions and upcoming steps.

We meet you at the site around 11am. The session begins with a preparatory discussion, during which we set and record intentions, work through doubts and fears, advise how to respond to challenging experiences, and quieten the mind with a "mindful eating" meditation. The mushrooms are served in a tea ceremony including an infusion of herbal extracts shown in several clinical trials to reduce anxiety significantly in patients awaiting surgery. This is particularly apt as a high dose psychedelic session is comparable to performing a deep surgical operation on your own mind.

Once the effects subside, around 5 hours later, we provide opportunities for you to record the experience in writing or through audio. We close the session around 6pm.

A Grounded and Compassionate Guide
Siddiq is a truly gifted facilitator. His calm, grounded presence immediately put me at ease, and I felt completely safe in his care. He has a natural ability to hold space with deep respect and sensitivity, guiding without ever imposing. In moments when I needed reassurance, his words were gentle yet powerful, helping me trust myself and the process. Siddiq radiates wisdom and kindness, and I left feeling not only supported but profoundly seen.

A Transformational Experience Beyond Words
Attending this mushroom retreat has been one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt deeply welcomed, held, and safe. The facilitators are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also profoundly compassionate human beings. They created a sacred space that allowed me to fully surrender and trust the process, knowing I was in caring and capable hands.

The ceremonies themselves were beautifully guided—deeply intentional, respectful, and filled with reverence for the medicine. I experienced profound insights, emotional release, and a sense of connection that I have been longing for. The way the team combined traditional wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches felt seamless and authentic, honoring both the spiritual and the psychological dimensions of healing.

What really stood out was the integration support. It wasn’t just about the journey during ceremony; it was about weaving the lessons into daily life. Through sharing circles, gentle guidance, and heartfelt connection, I left not only with clarity and healing but also with practical tools to carry forward.

The setting was breathtaking—peaceful, natural, and nourishing in every sense. The food, the accommodation, the attention to detail—all contributed to an environment where I could truly focus inward and allow the medicine to work its magic.

I cannot recommend this retreat enough for anyone seeking deep healing, self-discovery, or spiritual connection. It is a rare gift to find such integrity, care, and wisdom held together in one place. I leave with a heart full of gratitude, a renewed sense of purpose, and the feeling that I’ve come home to myself.

Difficult but very valuable experience
It was my first experience with mushroom and I am overall very happy with the session. Good preparation, organization and overall profesionalism. The session was handled very well by Malwina and I would definitely recommend her. I had a challenging but valuable experience. Thank you!

One of the most amazing healing experiences of my life!
I never thought I would one day try psychedelics. I don’t even smoke or drink alcohol.
But after experiencing burnout from work and feeling deeply unfulfilled in my personal life, I couldn’t get back on my feet.

I tried everything to reclaim a meaningful life and make progress on my goals: therapy, spiritual retreats... Things started to improve somewhat after attending some family constellation workshops, but nothing truly transformational.

Until one day I thought: What if it’s something biological?
After hearing about and witnessing the changes in someone who had taken mushrooms, I was blown away by their progress. I decided to try them myself, in a safe and legal way, with someone who spoke my language.

Communication with Siddiq was excellent and professional. And I can’t find enough words to thank my facilitator, Elena. She’s a wonderful person, deeply empathetic and talented. Her love for nature and her genuine desire to help others made my experience incredibly safe and effective.

As a bonus, her adorable little dog Cosmo accompanies you during the journey.

A few days after my two sessions, I started noticing positive changes in my personality: my excessive fear in risky situations vanished , it was the first time in my life I’d ever felt that. My appetite regulated itself, and cravings disappeared. The integration process continues, in a positive direction, and I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wants to reclaim their life.

Forever grateful.
