Schedule

Day 1: Root (Grounding)
The day of the Root Chakra establishes the sacred container for your journey. Through intentional grounding rituals, somatic movement, and authentic relating exercises, you'll build deep safety and trust with your fellow journeyers, the land, and yourself.

Day 2: Sacral (Flow)
The day of the Sacral Chakra invites you to reconnect with your emotional flow and creative life force. You’ll explore stored emotional energy through movement, dance, and expressive arts. By embracing vulnerability and release, you prepare your body and spirit for for insight and emotional release in the evening's ceremony.

Day 3: Solar Plexus Chakra (Power)
The day of the Solar Plexus Chakra contains workshops where you are invited to step out of victimhood and into radical responsibility. We dive into the moments where we betrayed our own integrity as the ego chased safety. This helps us rediscover and reintegrate the parts of us that we have hidden away for so long, enhancing our wholeness—an essential tool for the evening’s plant sacrament ceremony.

The day of the Heart Chakra is provides the environment for finding forgiveness for others and yourself. You will embrace your wounded inner child—the exiled parts of yourself—with the recognition, love, and leadership that s/he has craved. These tools will help you explore the depths of your Self within the evening’s plant sacrament ceremony.

Day 5: Throat Chakra (Expression)
The day of the Throat Chakra explores all the times we said “yes” when we should have said “no”, or vice-versa. We find courage in our Inner Power to express ourselves in full congruence with the Inner Truth that has laid dormant within us. You will practice standing in your power and taking up space. This, in turn, provides the footing to create your, which gets crystallized in evening’s breathwork experience.

Day 6: Third Eye Chakra (Insight)
Finally, the day of the Third Eye Chakra ties all the prior chakras together by grounding a new way of being discovered in the Preparation and Immersion. The Integration workshops provide tools to translate the ineffable, felt-sense experiences within the psychedelic experience into actionable tools that can be employed in daily life. We practice these tools by intentionally acting out triggering situations so that our members can respond healthily with intuition instead of reacting with impulse back at home.

Day 7: Crown (Oneness)
Finally, the day of the Crown Chakra integrates all the prior chakra experiences into a new way of being. Integration workshops help translate your profound experiences into practical tools for everyday life. You’ll rehearse responding with wisdom and intuition rather than reactivity, anchoring your transformation deeply and durably as you prepare to return home.

Ceremonia quite literally changed my life.
Before coming here, I was in one of the darkest places I’ve ever known. I had lost all sense of hope, connection, and joy, and I truly didn’t see a way forward. I felt I had no purpose, nothing to look forward to and genuinely didn’t think I would make it much longer. The experience I had at Ceremonia helped me rediscover life in a way I never thought possible.
From the moment I arrived, I felt held, seen, and safe. The facilitators are some of the most loving, grounded, compassionate and wise people I’ve ever met. Their care, presence, and skill created a space where deep healing could happen. The workshops, the community, and the physical space itself—all of it radiated intention, beauty, and love. Every part of the experience, from the ceremonies to the shared meals, was filled with care, intention and heart.
During my time there, I was able to connect with myself and others on a level I had never experienced. I felt something awaken inside of me- a sense of belonging and peace that I thought I had lost forever. I left feeling lighter, open-hearted, and filled with genuine gratitude and hope. For the first time in years, I feel hopeful and alive.
This place has given me a second chance at life, and for that I will be forever grateful. My experience was so powerful that I’ve already decided to return for another retreat in a few months. I cannot wait to continue this journey with the people and the place that helped me remember who I am.
If you are seeking real healing, growth, or reconnection to life itself, I can’t recommend Ceremonia enough. It’s more than a retreat—it’s a place where miracles happen.

Healing the Parts of Me I Once Hated
Attending Ceremonia was truly life-changing. It helped me confront something I didn't even fully realize was driving so much of my pain - my own self-hatred. Through the experience, I was able to see myself from a completely new perspective and understand that I'm not the person I once was. I don't have to carry those old feelings or identities anymore.

The environment was safe, supportive, and deeply healing. The facilitators created a space where could let go, explore, and ultimately rediscover a sense of peace within myself. It wasn't always easy, but it was absolutely worth it. I left with a clearer mind, a lighter heart, and a genuine sense of compassion for myself that I haven't felt in a long time.

If you're considering a retreat like this, go in with an open mind and heart - it might just change the way you see yourself forever.

Life saving, life giving
I arrived to Ceremonia “on my last leg” after 10 years of limited progress in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, psychiatric care, and 12-step recovery. I’ve worn different labels (recovering addict, adult child of alcoholism), have had diagnoses (PTSD, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder), and had been hospitalized twice for suicidal ideation. After all of that hard work I was experiencing the worst season of my life. I was dejected, disappointed, disillusioned, and angry at everyone and everything. My physical health was failing as well. 10 years ago, I was running marathons. The day before I left for my Ceremonia retreat, I went to my neighborhood fire station to check my vitals out of fear I was going to drop dead, and part of me wanted to. One of my mental health providers suggested Ceremonia based on another client’s great experience. A few minutes into my introductory call, I had enough hope to register for an Awaken psilocybin retreat. The Ceremonia facilitator was relatable, genuine, patient and answered all of my questions. The intake process was thorough and professional. The team made sure I had ample time to prepare for a safe and productive experience. I was hopeful but skeptical that anything would work for me after so many setbacks in other forms of recovery. From the moment I arrived to the retreat, I was met with compassion and interest both from the Ceremonia facilitators and other retreat participants (all but one were on their first journeys like I was). I have been in many group settings but have never felt more included, seen, and understood than I did at Ceremonia. In 6 days I experienced more profound progress than I did in the preceding 10 years. The Ceremonia team thought of and saw to every detail to ensure that the experience was not only safe and beneficial, but also enjoyable. The accommodations were exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable. The food was amazing. Every aspect of the preparations instilled confidence in the process. At several moments, I was struck by the amazing balance of professionalism and reverence with levity which was a welcome departure from my other experiences. Through the group and individual interactions, the workshops, the medicinal journeys and integration processes, I experienced incredible gains almost immediately. It’s not fluff when I say that I “limped in and leaped out” - a mere 6- day journey from existing to thriving. I’ll be eternally grateful to my friends at Ceremonia and, for the first time, I embrace today and look forward to tomorrow.
