Psilocybin & DMT Retreat

Eleusinia is by far one of the best retreats I've experienced. The location, the food, and the incredible and genuine attention you get from the team is healing in itself. I'm already planning my return for a second retreat at Eleusinia.

Awesome experience. I Trust their team 100%, they are very professional, caring and knowledgeable. Would not change a thing. Don’t take a chance with other places, this is it. I’m very glad I took the time to research and talk to Jessica.

Wonderful setting and food, but the staff were absolutely great, very loving and supportive. Don’t EVEN consider going anywhere else!

UPDATE 11/23 My wife and I just returned from our second visit to Eleusinia. I wish “plant”medicine work was more normalized because it is safe and can be life changing. Mushrooms will not solve your problems overnight but they are an incredibly powerful tool that can help us do deep healing work quickly. It can be as effective as years of therapy in a day. Whether you are a healthy normal person looking to experience altered states of consciousness or someone dealing with severe anxiety or depression, the team at Eleusinia is just wonderful. Loving, compassionate, human. Though I now regularly work with mushrooms at home, I will continue to return to Eleusinia because their support, guidance and most of all their love help me to be vulnerable enough to face the really hard stuff. I have much work left to do but I am on the healing path. Facing and healing your pain is the hardest and most rewarding work you can do. If you are considering a psilocybin retreat, I can’t recommend Eleusinia highly enough! They are like family to us. Side note: if you are into birds, the area is a birders paradise so bring your optics. Eleusinia retreat is a special place. The difference is love. I navigated easily the most difficult experience of my life during this retreat. The safe space created by this amazing team allowed me to process some heavy emotional baggage I had been carrying around since I was a little boy. I am not an overly emotional person but I cried, a lot! I cried harder and for longer than I thought possible, but I felt safe to do so. I was humbled repeatedly by the power of the medicine and love and compassion I received from Jessica, Jay, Tawnya, Josefina, Andrew and Yamil.

Eleusinia is beyond compare. I spent an incredible amount of time researching retreats. I was interested in finding someplace to send my son to help with his depression. I chose Eleusinia because they are a science based retreat rather than just a one time spiritually based psychedelic experience. I had no idea what to expect. I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. I had hoped I might find some help me with anxiety and chronic pain I was dealing with, but I kept my expectations low. Well, it has it helped with those issues and then some. It has completely changed the course of my life. I have come home a different person. The accommodations, food, and staff are 5 star. There was nothing more I could have asked for and they came up with things I didn't't know I wanted. The rooms are immaculate and the food was amazing. The staff......They are so welcoming and interested in making sure you are as comfortable as possible. They did everything they could to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. They all are extremely knowledgable and have an incredible ability and explain everything in a fun, easy to understand manner. The program they have put together is so well thought out. I was very impressed. I will be going back and my son will be going soon.

I began my psychedelic journey on Google, as I assume most do, and was quickly drawn in by the possibility of help with some deep-rooted and maladaptive mental/emotional issues, as well as chronic pain management. The idea of exploring my consciousness and challenging my existing intellectual precepts was also intriguing. As a natural skeptic with strong materialist leanings, I was afraid the typical psychedelic retreats I was reading about would bog me down with spiritual and mystical baggage that I would find counter-productive. I was excited about neural plasticity and suppressing the Default Mode Network, not chants and spirit-play. Thus my excitement about running across Eleusinia, a “science-based psilocybin retreat” in their own words. My experience at Eleusinia was extraordinary. Since each person’s journey is unique, I’ll not waste time recounting mine. What I will say is that if you heed the importance of “Set” and “Setting”, this place is beyond compare. Rather than an AirBNB someplace, the Eleusinia campus spreads across some 100 acres of lush, beautiful Mexican rainforest, meaning all sessions were held outdoors in perfect weather. The Eleusinia staff worked with us beforehand to create the proper mindset, and stayed with us as our trips unfolded. I can’t describe how important the staff’s active involvement was during the trips as well as afterwards as we engaged in the integration process. I found it easy to connect with and benefit from the professionals Jess has assembled, and without exception they were dedicated and caring and nurturing. Accommodations were first-rate….as impressive as the grounds, and the meals were superb. All in all, I can’t imagine any way to improve on the Eleusinia program, and I fully intend to re-visit sometime next year.

Oct update: I returned for another amazing retreat that built on the first and also was able to experience the new serene and spacious site. Same incredible team, new inspiring group of guests and another hugely meaningful experience:) May 2023: There's not enough space here to share all of the wonderful aspects of the Eleusinia Retreat. As someone who has researched retreat options for over 3 years, there is no better way or place to fully explore the power of plant medicine. The professionals, the site, the food, the comfort and the attention to every detail imaginable. Guests came for a variety of reasons and all had varying experiences but the one common factor was the positive experience we all had. Everyone left glowing. Mind blowing, life altering. It was magical. Thank you.

If you think psychedelics are your next step for working through physical or emotional pain, or for figuring out the life you want, this is the place to make that happen. It was a financial "stretch" for me, but it is one of the cheapest options of its kind and you get way more value than you pay for. Besides the flights and the 3-hour drive from the airport, every single detail, staffperson, meal, bedroom, experience, and service is absolutely incredible. Unlike most people in my group, who came to address pain, I was just unsure about next-steps in life. The experiences were safe, personally challenging, and so much more than I imagined. Thank you so much to the staff and to the group I got to enjoy Eleusinia with.

My experience with Eleusinia was one of excellence from beginning to end. I had been aware of psilocybin’s potential to help relief depression symptoms for around two years, but I wasn’t comfortable trying it in a place without all safety concerns very well established. Eleusinia gave me that confidence and the experience could not have been more empowering. I thank all the staff. Everyone was very professional and loving the whole time. The new location is heaven on earth. Food was so good I still miss it. I thank Jessica for putting so much work together in order to provide such an amazing experience. With love, Carlos Tavares from Brazil.
