Psilocibyn private retreat

In the heart of the Desierto de los Leones forest, an intimate, loving, and safe space opens up where the soul can unfold without judgment or haste. The private ceremonies with ancestral medicine that we offer at CentroQ are not mere psychedelic experiences. They are true comprehensive therapeutic processes, carefully designed to accompany you on a journey of emotional healing, consciousness expansion, and spiritual reconnection. Each ceremony is unique. It is built in resonance with your personal history, your wounds, your vital moment, and, above all, your deep intention. It is not necessary to "know where you are going"; it is enough to feel the call. Our team will support you with respect, emotional containment, and ancestral wisdom, guiding you step by step through a clinical and ceremonial protocol that integrates modern psychotherapy with the ancient teachings of indigenous peoples.

Private ceremonies are designed for those who wish to work more deeply, in an intimate and personalized setting. Unlike group spaces, here all the attention is focused on you (or your partner or close circle), allowing you to confidently open up complex emotional processes, explore sensitive topics, or simply surrender to the medicine without external distractions. This format is ideal for people who:

They are going through times of crisis, grief, anxiety, or trauma.
They want continuous psychotherapeutic support before, during, and after the experience.
They are looking to have their first experience with entheogens in a completely safe and guided space.
They are in search of clarity, purpose, reconciliation, or inner transformation.
They want to share the process with their partner or loved ones in a sacred environment.

Initial Evaluation and Diagnosis
Before authorizing any ceremony, a thorough clinical interview and a standardized psychometric evaluation are conducted. This step is not merely formal; it is an ethical listening space and therapeutic discernment where we explore your emotional history, psychological background, motivations, and current state.
With this, we aim to care not only for your emotional and physical safety but also for the energetic coherence of the process. In some cases, we may suggest waiting, preparing more thoroughly, or even channeling towards another type of support.

Preparation and Intention
Once your participation is approved, we schedule a personalized virtual preparatory session. In this meeting, we begin to build the "container" of the process: your ceremonial intention. This intention is not a rigid goal but a symbolic compass that guides the medicine towards the most fertile areas of your unconscious.
We will also share recommendations on diet, rest, activities, and energy preparation. This step is fundamental: the ceremony starts long before taking the medicine.

Opening Ceremony of the Sacred Fire
Upon arriving at the ceremonial space, the circle is opened with a traditional fire ceremony. This fire is not decorative: it is the energetic heart of the gathering, the portal that connects with the lineages of light that safeguard this work. Through songs, prayers, and offerings, the guidance of the ancestors is invoked, and the place is consecrated for healing.
This sacred moment establishes the vibrational tone of the experience, helping your nervous system enter a state of receptivity.

Temazcal: The Return to the Womb of the Earth
Before the medicine, we perform a ceremonial temazcal. This ancient steam bath, guided by chants and medicinal herbs, allows for physical, emotional, and spiritual purification. It is a deeply symbolic process: the return to the womb of Mother Earth to be reborn. Sweating, singing, and silence in the darkness open the body to mystery and prepare the soul to surrender to the unknown.

Psilocybin Ceremony (Teonanácatl)
The central ceremony takes place at night, in a sacred space prepared with healing music, sacred aromas, and energetic care. The medicine we use is Teonanácatl—the "sacred mushroom" of Mesoamerican cultures—offered ceremonially, with respect, individualized doses, and continuous support. During this experience, memories, visions, intense emotions, or states of deep silence may emerge. Each process is different. Our team is present the entire time, guiding with channeled chants, ancestral instruments, and loving attention to every moment of the journey. The goal is not to "control" the experience but to accompany you through it with safety, awareness, and meaning. The ceremony concludes with light food, contemplative silence, and a space for deep rest.

Morning of Support and Integration
The day following the ceremony is entirely dedicated to rest, reflection, and the initial integration process. We facilitate grounding exercises, breathing, writing, therapeutic dialogue, and gentle body movement. It is a warm, calm, and non-judgmental space where you can begin to name what you experienced, share what emerges, and start translating visions into lessons.

Post-Ceremonial Integration Session
One or two weeks later, we conduct a group session and an individual psychotherapeutic integration session. In this meeting, we help you reinterpret what you've experienced, identify patterns, formulate concrete actions, and avoid dissociation. The medicine doesn’t end with the ceremony: it continues working through you. Our support aims to ensure that this transformation is sustained and integrated into your daily life.

Between the Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples and Contemporary Neuroscience

Psilocybin is a natural substance found in certain sacred mushrooms that has been used for millennia by Mesoamerican cultures for spiritual, healing, and visionary purposes. In the Nahuatl language, these mushrooms were known as "Teonanácatl," meaning "the flesh of the gods." Indigenous peoples—such as the Mazatecs in Oaxaca—have safeguarded its ceremonial use generation after generation, preserving songs, prayers, rituals, and forms of energetic care that constitute a living legacy of wisdom. For centuries, the ceremonial use of psilocybin was persecuted by colonial and scientific structures that did not understand its spiritual dimension. However, thanks to the resistance of the guardian peoples and intercultural movements of recent decades, this medicine has begun to be recognized once again as a sacrament of healing and self-knowledge. In the last two decades, modern science has rediscovered the therapeutic potential of psilocybin, validating what traditions have always known. Institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, and NYU have conducted rigorous clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness in treating: - Treatment-resistant depression - Existential anxiety (especially in terminal patients) - Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - Addictions to substances like alcohol, tobacco, and opioids

From a neuroscientific perspective, psilocybin promotes a temporary deactivation of the brain's "default mode network" (DMN), allowing for new neural connections, deep introspection, and expanded states of perception. In these states, participants can access emotional memories, unconscious patterns, and spiritual dimensions that are difficult to explore in ordinary states. However, both scientists and traditional peoples agree on something essential: preparation, context, intention, and accompaniment are key. That's why, at CentroQ, we honor the ancestral and clinical dimension of this work, combining deep ritual practices with ethical, loving, and safe therapeutic protocols.

This is not a recreational journey. It is a sacred journey.
