Odyssey - 4-day Legal Psilocybin Retreat in Golden, Colorado

I attended the Women's Retreat led by Alex. Odyssey was like being in the womb- I felt safe and protected with the most caring facilitators-
The setting was beyond my expectations- from the house to the catered food I felt so taken care of- I never felt blindsided everything was explained in a gentle kind manner.

This experience allowed me to meet my anger and let it go- I finally feel free.

My experience with Odyssey was exceptional. They cultivated a safe, intentional space that allowed for deep personal growth, and supported me through one of the most transformative journeys of my life—guided by truly world-class facilitation.

Simply put, the retreat wouldn’t have been half as powerful without the exceptional facilitators—a deeply committed group of trained professionals whose presence made me feel safe and supported. Their ability to bring the group together with care and intention was remarkable, and their dedication to this work shone through in every moment.

The all-inclusive nature of the retreat, combined with the thoughtful pre-retreat calls, helped me feel genuinely comfortable and connected with the other participants from the start. The structured agenda struck a beautiful balance between guided sessions and spacious free time, while the facilitators’ deep knowledge of the psychedelic landscape—grounded in both scientific understanding and spiritual insight—allowed each journey to unfold in a way that felt uniquely attuned to each person’s readiness and openness. The music during the journey was deeply moving—carefully curated to enhance emotional depth and guide the experience with subtle power, making the process even more immersive and impactful.

It was a life changing experience for me. You truly feel safe the whole time. Never thought I would come out with new friend from this group experience. I felt very safe with my emotions and well being during this experience. The gentleness and understanding of what was happening to us was truly amazing.

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.

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
