A comprehensive all-inclusive 5-day retreat meticulously crafted to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to bring about meaningful change both during and beyond your stay.
Pre-Retreat Preparation
At Eleusinia, you start your journey with our 10-point preparation checklist. We’re strong advocates for the power of education in preparing for your psychedelic experience. Our preparation materials provide detailed insights into the neuroscience and mechanisms behind these substances. Aside from education, our process includes coaching you on neuroscience-based skills, techniques, and exercises to help you productively navigate your sessions.

Psilocybin Sessions
Psilocybin sessions at Eleusinia take place amidst the expansive greenery of our outdoor gardens, providing ample privacy. These sessions typically span 4 to 6 hours. Our psilocybin sessions are meticulously crafted to offer a diverse and impactful experience with therapeutic benefits at the forefront. We pair each dosing level with specific meditative and neuroscience-based techniques. By incorporating both minidose and macrodose sessions, we aim to provide both a comprehensive range of experiences and the honing of navigation skills. This approach is particularly favored by individuals looking to integrate a dosing practice into their ongoing journey beyond the retreat as it includes developing techniques and autonomy.
- Macrodose Session (5-15 grams)
- Minidose Session (1-3 grams)
- Inverse pyramid schedule (Macro first)
- Daytime, outdoor garden setting featuring private acloves
- 1:2 Facilitator/Guest ratio

DMT Sessions
At Eleusinia, our DMT sessions are conducted individually accompanied by two facilitators. Lasting approximately 10-15 minutes, each session is curated to promote a full immersion experience free of distractions. DMT, renowned for its therapeutic properties similar to psilocybin, is often described by our guests as the pinnacle of their retreat experience. Despite its brevity, the intense nature of a DMT session renders it a valuable tool for ongoing progress, particularly beneficial for individuals with busy, demanding schedules aiming to continue their journey beyond the retreat.
- Two DMT sessions (up to 40mg vaporized)
- 2:1 Facilitator/Guest ratio
- Daytime, outdoor garden setting
- Additional DMT sessions can be added with additional days.
Personalized Integration Sessions
At Eleusinia, we embrace a holistic approach to integration, focusing on three key dimensions: psychological, spiritual, and somatic. Following the macrodose experience, our practitioners engage in one-on-one sessions with each visitor to facilitate reflection and help them derive personal meaning from their psychedelic journey. These sessions can be audio recorded for later sharing with the visitor’s therapist back home.
For those seeking a spiritual perspective, visitors have the option to also meet individually with our curandera, drawing on traditional spiritual mushroom practices rooted in the history of Mexico. Additionally, we include group meditation coaching sessions that emphasize a somatic and meditative approach to integration.
Guests are encouraged to explore each approach and integrate those aspects that resonate most with them into their post-retreat practices.
- Private one-on-one integrations
- Personalized dosing coaching
- Audio recording of integration session to share with therapist back home

Eleusinia Modalities
We coach individual visitors to leverage their future psychedelic exploration to best fit their personal goals.
Mental Health
The most extensively documented and researched contemporary application of psilocybin is its use for mental health purposes. Universities worldwide are actively exploring this potential, providing a wealth of information for interested individuals. At Eleusinia, we are here to assist you in navigating the various promising methods and help you formulate a plan to integrate them into your future wellness regimen.
Consciousness Exploration
The practice of using psychedelics to explore consciousness has ancient roots that predate the dawn of civilization. For this purpose, we suggest engaging in infrequent, carefully curated experiences. During your stay at Eleusinia, you will have access to a wealth of information about the mechanisms of psychedelics and valuable insights into risk reduction practices.
Chronic Pain
The realm of chronic pain management through psychedelics is a relatively novel and uncharted domain, yet it holds immense fascination for the medical community. The inception of Eleusinia is intertwined with a narrative of chronic pain, and we draw from this firsthand experience to steer you towards practices with the greatest potential for alleviating your pain. When harnessing psychedelics for this purpose, it’s often the consistency and repetition of the experience that prove to be crucial elements.
