Odyssey - 4-day Legal Psilocybin Retreat For Women

After doing my research on the use of psilocybin for therapeutic outcomes, I was searching for an experience that was approachable to the mainstream, science and US based, with trained facilitators who were experienced and caring. Odyssey checked all the boxes and more! What made this experience for me was the facilitation team. From my first call with David Kahl and the team, I felt safe , cared for, and seen. A significant amount of time was spent preparing us for the journey with group calls , written preparation materials, and 1:1 time to ensure dosing was optimal based on what we wanted from the experience. While the team followed scientific protocols, nothing about this experience felt clinical. You felt like you were at a wellness retreat being in nature, journaling, meditating, and engaging in art or creative activities. I cannot emphasize enough the level of care the facilitators provided to ensure we felt safe and well taken care of. This was truly one of the best experiences of my life and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to have a transformative life experience.

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.

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

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.

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!
