Psilocybin Retreat In Mexico

Eleusinia, a psilocybin retreat in Mexico, places a strong emphasis on individual well-being in every aspect of the experience. What sets our program apart from other psychedelic retreats is our unique, science-based approach to exploring the health benefits of psilocybin, in combination with spiritual practice. By learning techniques for assisted meditation and mushroom cultivation, our visitors are empowered to explore independently and leave with newfound confidence and skills. Our techniques have broad applications, including consciousness exploration, meditation, and improving mental well-being and neuroplasticity. Additionally, our program offers potential benefits for managing neuropathic pain, inflammation, and migraines.

Getting Started

The process begins with a visit to the website, which provides details about the actual retreat and its general schedule. It also includes a large selection of articles and resources covering the use and application of psychedelics. You can also find episodes of our podcast with personal stories, FAQs, and pricing information. We place an emphasis on science and education so that those interested can make an informed decision. In addition, spots in upcoming retreats can be reserved directly on our sign-up page. Our sign-up process involves a one-on-one Zoom meeting with our founder to discuss individual needs and expectations. Participating in a psychedelic retreat may not be appropriate if you are taking certain medications or have specific conditions. You can read more about this on our FAQ page.

Upon completion of our retreat, you will be granted access to our exclusive network where you can engage in conversations with previous participants and expand your knowledge of the experience. Additionally, our network serves as a valuable resource for ongoing support and discussion regarding the psychedelic experience, as well as navigating the various aspects of the cultivation process.

Location- Valle De Bravo

The retreat villa is located in Valle De Bravo, a charming colonial-era town situated on a lake approximately 2.5 hours west of Mexico City. The closest airport with flights from the United States is in Mexico City (“MEX”). Airport transfers at designated times to and from the retreat are included in the cost of your stay. We recommend arriving a day early and staying at the Airport Courtyard Marriott. Our transport service will pick you up the next morning from the Courtyard Marriott around 12:30 p.m. to bring you to the retreat villa. Return flights should be scheduled for after 3:30 p.m., if returning back to the United States on the last day of the retreat.

100 Acre Retreat Center

The Eleusinia retreat center is located on 100 acres of lush forest, offering guests an open-concept design that invites relaxation and rejuvenation. Each room boasts comfortable king or queen beds with private baths, ensuring a peaceful and restful night’s sleep.

The cost of the retreat is all-inclusive, meaning that guests need not worry about any additional expenses during their stay. This includes all meals, snacks, maid service, massages, yoga classes, and Wi-Fi access. In keeping with our commitment to providing a healthy and rejuvenating experience, the retreat is strictly non-alcoholic, and all meals are plant-based. Our talented chefs create delicious and satisfying meals using only the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients, ensuring that guests receive optimal nourishment throughout their stay.

Most of our group activities take place in the outdoor living areas of the villa or gazebo, providing stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the region. Whether it’s enjoying a group yoga class, meditating in the serene gardens, or relaxing by the pool, guests have ample opportunity to unwind and connect with their inner selves. Our outdoor spaces also offer the perfect setting for evening gatherings, where guests can come together to share stories, connect with others, and create lasting memories.

Meals

At our retreat, meals are an integral part of the community experience. We come together as a group to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner, sharing stories and insights from the day’s activities. Our meals are carefully crafted to provide optimal nourishment and energy for our guests, while also showcasing the vibrant flavors and colors of Mexican cuisine.

All of our meals are plant-based, providing guests with an abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The drinks served are all non-alcoholic, with a focus on refreshing tropical “aguas frescas” that are both delicious and hydrating.

Our menu is designed to showcase the best of Mexican cuisine, with traditional dishes like elotes, sopes, and guacamole featured prominently. We also incorporate a variety of fresh salsas that highlight tropical fruits such as mango, jicama, guava, and passion fruit. Our chefs are always experimenting with new and exciting flavor combinations, so guests can expect to be pleasantly surprised by the unique twists on classic dishes.

For those who are feeling adventurous, we also offer the opportunity to try something new and unexpected, such as hibiscus tacos or nopales. Our goal is to provide a dining experience that is both nourishing and exciting, offering guests the opportunity to explore new flavors and expand their culinary horizons. Whether you are a seasoned foodie or simply looking to try something new, our meals are sure to delight and satisfy.

The Macrodose

On day #2 of our retreat, guests will have the opportunity to participate in the first mushroom session, which is a (5g) macrodose session. In preparation for the experience, we skip a solid breakfast and instead serve coffee and juice to avoid any potential stomach upset. Our curandera, a traditional healer, administers the mushrooms in accordance with customary rituals.

Before the session, our meditation coach will guide guests through a series of breathing exercises to help them prepare for the journey ahead. These exercises can help calm the mind, focus the intention, and deepen the connection to the self.

The experience itself takes place in common areas of the villa, where guests can choose to participate in various stations that have been set up to create a controlled and varied environment. These stations are designed to take into consideration different aspects of the psychedelic experience, such as visual, auditory, or emotional. Our experienced guides will be on hand to help facilitate the experience and provide support throughout the session.

During the session, guests will have access to a variety of snacks and juices, which are provided at pre-determined intervals to help maintain energy levels and support the experience. Additionally, a late lunch will be served after the session to help guests nourish their bodies and reflect on their experience.<

For those who prefer to unwind in solitude, there are plenty of opportunities to relax and reflect on their own. Whether it’s taking a peaceful stroll through the gardens or settling in with a good book in the cozy lounge, there are plenty of spaces to find quiet and solitude.

On the other hand, for those who enjoy group discussions and processing their experiences with others, we offer the opportunity to participate in guided discussions or casual conversations with fellow guests. These discussions can provide a supportive and nurturing environment for guests to share their thoughts, emotions, and insights with others.

Finally, we offer a late dinner and additional opportunities to relax and reflect before turning in for the night. Guests are invited to take advantage of our outdoor spaces to stargaze, meditate, or simply enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the retreat. Whether you choose to engage in group discussions or take time for quiet contemplation, our aim is to provide a space that supports and nurtures your unique needs and preferences.

The Minidose Session

On day #4 of our retreat, guests will have the opportunity to participate in the second mushroom experience, which is a (1g) minidose session. The day will begin with a rejuvenating yoga and meditation session that sets the tone for the rest of the day. Guests will then have the opportunity to take a cold plunge, which is a form of ice bath therapy that has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and increased energy levels.

The (1g) minidose session will take place in the afternoon, and guests will be guided through an intense breathwork session designed to enhance the effects of the psilocybin. Learning to master the breathing exercises is the first step towards developing a sustainable meditation practice that utilizes the benefits of psychedelic assistance.

During the session, guests will have access to a safe and supportive environment where they can continue to explore their inner landscape and connect with their deeper selves. Our experienced guides will be on hand to provide support, answer any questions, and ensure that each guest has a supported experience.

By the end of the session, guests will have gained a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. They will have learned valuable breathing techniques that they can use to enhance their meditation practice and will have gained valuable insights that they can take with them long after the retreat has ended. Overall, the (1g) minidose session is an essential part of the retreat experience that provides guests with a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

VR And Psilocybin

At our retreat, we have a multitude of session stations that are specifically designed to cater to different aspects of the psychedelic experience. Among these stations is a virtual reality (VR) experience that allows participants to explore fantastical landscapes filled with vibrant colors and unique music. This innovative tool can effectively redirect one’s attention and provide a unique and immersive experience that can enhance the psychedelic journey.

VR has been found to be an effective tool for priming the psyche to produce specific effects, and we have carefully curated this VR experience to provide a multi-sensory experience that complements the psychedelic experience. By immersing oneself in this surreal world, participants can potentially achieve deeper insights, explore their imagination, and gain a more profound understanding of their inner workings. The use of VR can also help individuals to overcome feelings of anxiety or fear that may arise during the experience, as it provides a safe and controlled environment for exploration.

Yoga And Breathwork

We have several yoga and breathwork sessions throughout the retreat, each with a specific purpose to enhance the experience. We use yoga and stretching to establish a firm mind/body connection before entering a psychedelic state, while some breathing techniques are used to calm the nervous system and center the mind. A brisker breathwork pace enhances the effects of the smaller dose at the minisession. We have designed our breathwork sessions to be repeatable at home, so the session includes coaching on the use of breathwork apps.
