The Unique Benefits of Visiting with Family

While many people embark on a psychedelic journey for personal growth, experiencing it with family can deepen connection and foster mutual understanding. At Eleusinia, we’ve created a retreat environment where family members can explore their individual paths while benefiting from the support and presence of someone close. Our dedicated team ensures each person has a personal, undisturbed experience, but with a foundation of family connection that amplifies the retreat’s impact.

For families considering a retreat together, please note that Eleusinia has a minimum age requirement of 25. We can accommodate visitors as young as 21 with additional screening, ensuring that every participant is fully prepared for the journey.

The Power of Sharing a Transformative Journey with Family

When family members share a psychedelic experience, it can open new channels of communication and understanding, building trust and empathy. By going through this journey together, family members gain a unique perspective on each other’s insights, which deepens their relationship. Eleusinia’s retreat is designed to enhance these connections in a safe, private, and professionally guided setting, where each family member can feel comfortable exploring their journey.

Individual Experiences, Shared Understanding

At Eleusinia, we understand that psychedelic experiences are deeply personal, even when shared with loved ones. To honor this, our staff ensures each individual has their own private space during sessions, allowing family members to focus on their own journey without distraction. After each session, family members can reunite to share insights and reflections if they choose, finding mutual understanding in what can be a transformative experience. Our team strikes a balance between individual support and opportunities for family members to connect meaningfully.

Enhanced Long-Term Benefits Through Shared Experience

One of the unique advantages of visiting Eleusinia as a family is the lasting support it provides when you return home. When family members share a psychedelic experience, they carry a unique understanding of each other’s journey, which can be a powerful source of support and empathy. Having a close family member who understands and shares in your insights means having someone who can help reinforce the positive changes long after the retreat. For many, this shared experience is a key to long-term personal growth.

Creating Lasting Family Memories Together

Eleusinia isn’t just a retreat; it’s a place to create lasting family memories in an environment that encourages introspection, connection, and mutual respect. From private sessions in the serene garden to meaningful family moments, the Eleusinia experience is one that will stay with you, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding within your family. We warmly welcome families to join us for a transformative journey that both respects individual growth and celebrates shared experience.

For families looking to deepen their connection and mutual understanding, Eleusinia provides a unique opportunity to share a life-changing journey. By offering both personal space and opportunities for shared reflection, our retreat creates an environment that honors the individual and strengthens the family. Whether you’re here for healing, connection, or personal insight, we invite you to experience the powerful benefits of a shared family journey at Eleusinia.

Pablo Coddou

Pablo is a licensed psychotherapist drawing from Gestalt, Humanistic-Existentialism, and Buddhist principles to offer a grounded, embodied approach to personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.

He earned his Master’s in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in 2010 and has maintained a full-time private practice in Vermont for the past decade, working with clients across a wide range of ages and circumstances, from adolescents to seniors, including veterans, couples, and families, through both in-person and telehealth sessions.

In 2022, Pablo returned to Naropa to complete certification in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy through their MAPS program, focusing on the ancient spiritual traditions and modern science-backed benefits of psychedelics, and on the role of guide and integration therapist in supporting their healing potential. Since then, he has dedicated his practice to working skillfully and compassionately with altered states of mind in service of transformation, self-determination, and empowerment.

Born to immigrant parents and raised between New York City and Chile, Pablo identifies as Latino with indigenous Araucanian roots alongside European heritage. He has traveled extensively across Europe, South and Central America, Asia, and Africa, and is trilingual in English, Spanish, and French.

Pablo brings more than 25 years of study and practice in Buddhist meditation, martial arts, breathwork, and neuroscience, and facilitates workshops across these modalities in diverse community settings throughout the Americas. Outside the therapeutic space, he competes in Spartan races, participates in psychedelic community gatherings, and trains alongside his wife and daughter in the Vermont valley he calls home.
