ARE YOU SOMEONE WHO…

Is curious about psilocybin in a sacred ceremonial context—not as recreation, but as a spiritual practice?

Maybe you’ve worked with other plant medicines. Maybe you’ve explored psychedelics recreationally but sense there’s something deeper calling. Or perhaps this is your first time approaching plant medicine, and you want to do it right—in a container that honors both your readiness and the sacredness of the work.

Craves depth, intention, and proper guidance over casual experimentation?

You’re not interested in “just trying mushrooms.” You’re curious about how the medicine is held—how ceremony, intention, and skilled facilitation can create a completely different experience than what you might encounter at a festival or on your own. You want to understand what sacred context actually means.

Seeks embodied integration and practical tools, not just a temporary experience?

Whether this is your first ceremony or your twentieth, you want more than a wild night. You want to learn how to bring the wisdom home. You’re curious about the ceremonial path—approaching psilocybin as a partner in your growth, a teacher, a spiritual ally that requires reverence and relationship.


THE PERFECT TIMING FOR DEEPENING

Spring Emergence: April 2-7, 2026
Align with nature’s season of renewal. As the earth awakens, you’ll refine your relationship with plant medicine and emerge with practical tools for embodied living.

Limited to 8 Conscious Explorers
This intimate, co-ed experience welcomes both first-time ceremonial participants and experienced practitioners. What matters most is your intention—your readiness to approach the medicine with reverence, curiosity, and a desire for depth. You’ll share space with fellow travelers who understand that how we hold the medicine matters as much as the medicine itself.


WHAT MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE?

The Revolutionary 5AM Ceremony

While most retreats offer evening-only journeys, we harness the profound healing potential of dawn. You’ll work with psilocybin as your brain naturally exists in optimal theta states—when you carry less mental clutter and can drop more easily into transformation. This unique timing, combined with a meticulously crafted 2-hour sound healing experience, creates a container for healing found nowhere else.

Three Distinct Ceremonial Approaches

This isn’t three versions of the same experience. Each ceremony serves a specific purpose in your journey—whether you’re building your first relationship with psilocybin or deepening an existing one:

  • Ceremony 1: Gentle nervous system calibration and trust-building (perfect for first-timers or those new to ceremonial context)
  • Ceremony 2: The signature dawn journey with extended sound healing (where sacred timing meets optimal brain states)
  • Ceremony 3: Lemon Tek technique with live medicine musicians for communal integration (deepening connection and completion)

Trauma-Informed, Somatic-First Facilitation

We meet you exactly where you are. Every ceremony includes individual dosage consultations that honor both your experience level and your nervous system’s needs. Whether this is your first ceremony or you’ve sat many times, we work with your body’s wisdom to find the right depth for you. This is refinement through embodiment, not intensity through overwhelm.

Intimate Luxury Meets Sacred Simplicity

Ocean-view suites. Farm-to-table cuisine. Maximum 8 participants. This isn’t a crowded retreat center—it’s a bespoke ceremonial immersion where you’re truly seen and held.

This ceremony focuses on:

  • Establishing safety in your body
  • Beginning to recognize adaptive patterns

Afternoon Rest, Healing Services, Integration
4:30pm Beach Sunset
6:30pm Dinner

Why Dawn Matters:
Our signature ceremony begins at 5AM—when your brain naturally exists in optimal healing states. In those early morning hours, your mind carries less information from the day, allowing you to drop more easily into theta brainwave states essential for deep transformation.

The power of this timing:

  • Optimal brain wave state for healing
  • Co-regulation with nature’s awakening
  • Silence as a doorway into the subtle
  • Enhanced receptivity to vibrational medicine

Silence & Sound as Catalysts:
You’ll begin your journey with psilocybin as the sun rises and nature stirs awake. Sound frequencies will be meticulously introduced to synergistically support the medicine, guiding you into deeper release and transcendence. This 2-hour sonic journey is designed to harmonize your entire being.


DAY 5 — Microdosing Mastery & Community Healing (Ceremony 3)

8:00am Beach walk
9:30am Breakfast
10:30am Microdose Workshop
12:30pm Lunch

The Lemon Tek Technique:
Our final ceremony uses the “Lemon Tek” preparation method—creating a more focused, intense experience ideal for deep processing and integration. You’ll journey alongside your fellow travelers with live medicine musicians guiding the sonic landscape.

What to Expect:
This ceremony emphasizes connection—to yourself, to the group, to all the healing that’s unfolded. The live music responds to the energy in the room, creating a dynamic, co-created healing experience.

Hape (Sacred Rapé):
Traditional Amazonian rapé (pronounced “ha-PAY”) is available for those who feel called to this sacred cleansing medicine as an ally during ceremony.

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF…

✓ You’re curious about psilocybin but want to experience it in sacred ceremonial context, not recreationally
✓ You’ve used psychedelics before but want to understand how proper facilitation and container change the experience
✓ You’ve worked with other plant medicines and are ready to explore psilocybin with reverence
✓ You’re completely new to plant medicine but feel called to approach it with intention and guidance
✓ You value depth and seek integration over just “tripping”
✓ You want to learn the difference between taking medicine and walking with medicine
✓ You’re curious about how ceremony, timing, and sacred context enhance healing
✓ You seek community with other conscious explorers at various stages of the path


THIS RETREAT IS NOT FOR YOU IF…

✗ You’re seeking high-dose breakthrough experiences or recreational intensity
✗ You’re looking for a “quick fix” rather than sustainable practice
✗ You’re not ready for somatic work and nervous system awareness
✗ You’re not willing to approach the medicine with reverence and respect


THE INVITATION

You’re curious about the ceremonial path. This is where it begins.

Whether you’re approaching psilocybin for the first time or returning to deepen your practice, this retreat offers something different than what you’ll find elsewhere—a sacred container where intention meets embodiment, where ancient wisdom meets trauma-informed care, and where the how matters as much as the what.

You don’t need to be experienced. You need to be ready—ready to approach the medicine with reverence, curiosity, and an open heart.

This is not another trip. This is an introduction to walking with plant medicine as a spiritual practice.

The medicine doesn’t end with the ceremony. This is where the relationship begins.
