About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

This psilocybin retreat is tailored for individuals navigating prolonged grief from sources such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, or other significant life changes. For individuals who have been stuck suffering from grief for an extended period of time, psilocybin can play an important part of one's journey back to living fully.
This retreat is also intended for individuals who are past the 'acute' phase of grief. Grieving is a normal and healthy response to loss. Undergoing a psilocybin experience during the acute phase of grief is generally not recommended, as it may overly intensify what are already intense and natural emotions, and may not aid in the healing process. A psilocybin experience is most beneficial to individuals who have reached some point of 'stuckness' in their grieving process.

The most impactful experience of my life (not hyperbole).
I had been kicking around the idea of doing psilocybin for about 3 years.. I had watched every movie about it, listened to so many podcasts, etc.. I believed in the medicine and felt the time was right a few months ago.. I met with David and knew Odyssey was the place for me..

I did the group retreat (vs the private) and I'm so glad I did. The experience is hard to put into words..

Everything from start to finish was incredible. All the facilitators are some of the most amazing people I've ever met and I will be forever grateful for them. They are so kind, gentle, loving, and give you any space you need but are also there for you when you need them.

The lookout lodge was the most beautiful place I had ever stayed. The vastness of the mountains and trees that this place allows you to take in are absolutely breath taking. I found myself sitting outside numerous times just in awe.. I roomed with someone and it did not feel awkward for me at all (an initial concern).. I got 8 new lifelong friends from all walks of life and age ranges by doing and sharing this amazing experience with them. The food they provide is so good and flavorful as well..

The journey experiences were difficult, amazing, scary, joyful, and basically every other adjective you can put.. I feel so lucky to have had so many profound epiphanies thanks to the medicine.. I am not the same person I was before.. Just have a zeal and love for life and grateful for everything..

I feel like I could go on forever but I'll just end with, if you are thinking about doing psilocybin, do it.. It took me a lot to follow through and book the retreat as there was a lot of fear in me but I am so proud of myself for doing it and forever grateful for David, JP, Armond, Alex, and River.. <3

Transformative Healing
As a physician, the retreat offered profound insights into my own mental and emotional landscape while deepening my understanding of the anxiety and trauma many patients experience. This transformative experience equips us with a powerful new tool to enhance our therapeutic approach and accelerate the healing process.

Equally vital, David Kahl and his exceptional team of facilitators—Alex, JP, and Armand—demonstrated remarkable sensitivity, ensuring every aspect of our well-being was thoughtfully supported throughout the retreat.

Highly Reccommend
Amazing experience all around. Top notch care from the moment we arrived to the time we left. All facilitators were very knowledgeable and caring. They provided support during the journey but gave us time and space needed when at the lodge. The group experience was very helpful being around like minded people to bond with.

Life Changing Experience
I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Odyssey. The entire process, from intake to integration, was well managed. The most important thing was that I felt safe, I understood what the process would look like, and everyone I worked with was warm, inviting, understanding, and asked thought provoking questions. This experience changed my life and connected me to people I will forever share a bond with. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone due to its professionalism, thoughtfulness, beauty, and comfort. Was better than anything I could have asked for!
