About this Retreat
MEET YOUR RETREAT HOSTS:
Hello, I’m Becca, the founder of Emotional Liberation with Becca Williams. My life’s work is to support people in releasing stress, overwhelm and the self-defeating behaviors that are interfering with their happiness – so they can connect with what's meaningful in their lives.
As an emotions therapist, a clinical nutritionist, and a sacred medicine facilitator, I'm passionate about the potency of collective healing in small group gatherings. I truly believe that we can grow exponentially through the shared intention, exploration, and creation of our journey together – because each person’s discovery is an invitation for another person’s break through.
With my nurturing and careful support, you'll dive into a journey of deep self-discovery in a secure, intimate group environment. During our time together you are no longer walking this path alone – as a group we create space for vulnerability, support, and authentic human-to-human connection.
For over twenty years, I've had the privilege of guiding people through their journeys of healing and transformation. But it has been in the last 8 years that I have included the transformative power of psilocybin alongside my Emotional Liberation programs to deepen the healing journey, offering a unique pathway to self-discovery and emotional freedom.
As a clinician, I appreciate that research has shown that both microdosing and macrodosing psilocybin enhances the process of neuroplasticity – the ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections in the brain to develop new patterns of thought and behavior helping to overcome limiting subconscious beliefs.
This is my first entry on RetreatGuru so I have no reviews yet on this site. But I will add a few below.

Details of this retreat
A private, personalized experience for deeper self-understanding and emotional exploration.
I offer private, day-long psilocybin experiences for one individual or two people together, combining personalized guidance, emotional support, and a peaceful, carefully prepared setting for inner exploration.
This is a carefully supported plant medicine journey offering an opportunity to explore beyond our usual ways of thinking, encountering emotions that may have been difficult to access, and develop a different relationship with ourselves.
The experience itself is only part of the process. How we prepare, how we meet what emerges, and how we integrate those discoveries into everyday life is pivotal to enjoying the outcome.
A Journey That Begins With You
Every person brings a different history, set of circumstances, and intention to this experience. That's why I don't offer a standardized program or a one-size-fits-all journey.
We begin by exploring what brings you here, what you hope to understand, and what kind of support might be helpful. Your experience is shaped around your individual needs, intentions, and level of experience.
The day provides space for inner exploration, accompanied by carefully selected live music and personal guidance throughout.
More Than the Journey: Understanding Your Emotions
An important part of my approach is recognizing that emotions aren't obstacles to overcome or problems to get rid of. They are experiences to be understood.
Fear, grief, anger, shame, loneliness, anxiety, and self-doubt can all influence how we experience ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes these emotions have been with us for so long that we no longer recognize how much they shape our choices, relationships, and sense of possibility.
Drawing on my work with Emotional Liberation®, I bring emotional awareness into the experience. Rather than trying to control or suppress what arises, we make room to explore it with curiosity and greater understanding.
The intention isn't to force a breakthrough or manufacture an emotional release. It's to help you develop a different relationship with what you discover in a safe, comfortable and trauma-informed process for profound personal growth.
You remain the authority on your own experience. My role is to support and guide you through it.
## Preparation and Integration
The work doesn't begin or end with the day itself.
Before your journey
We spend time discussing your intentions, expectations, personal circumstances, and relevant safety considerations. Preparation also helps you become familiar with the emotional and mindfulness practices that may support your experience.
After your journey
We explore what emerged, the emotions and insights you encountered, and what meaning they might hold in your everyday life.
Integration is an opportunity to recognize familiar patterns, consider new perspectives, and find practical ways to bring meaningful discoveries into your relationships and daily choices.
The goal isn't simply to remember what happened. It's to understand what you can take from it.
An Experienced Personal Guide
I have been working with emotional exploration, personal development, and altered states for many years. My work combines the Emotional Liberation® method with psycho-spiritual inquiry, nervous system awareness, expressive movement, meditation, and guided reflection.
My approach draws on contemporary understandings of psychology and the nervous system, alongside insights from ancient contemplative traditions.
I believe that meaningful personal change begins when we become willing to meet ourselves honestly, including the parts we might ordinarily prefer to avoid.
Thoughtful and Responsible Care
Working with altered states calls for preparation, experience, and respect for the individual.
My approach prioritizes appropriate screening, informed consent, attention to psychological and physical safety, and support throughout the process. Experiences are offered only where legally permitted and within applicable professional and safety requirements.
There are no promises of instant transformation or guaranteed breakthroughs. Each person's experience is unique, and the process deserves to be treated with care.
Begin a Conversation
If you're curious about this kind of experience, the first step is a conversation.
We can discuss what brings you here, what you're hoping to explore, and whether this approach is appropriate for you.
Private experiences for one individual or two people together.
A day to step outside the familiar, explore your inner world, and perhaps discover a different way of relating to yourself.
