“Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people.”
- Orson Scott Card
Am I a fit for this program?
This retreat is intended for individuals who have lost a loved one. While grief can take many forms, for the sake of group coherence and psychological safety, we reserve this retreat specifically for bereaved individuals. It is intended for those who have moved beyond the acute phase of grief, as undergoing a psilocybin experience during that stage may intensify already overwhelming emotions and hinder the healing process. Instead, this retreat is best suited for those who feel a sense of ‘stuckness’ in their grieving journey and are seeking a path forward.
Benefits of Psilocybin for Bereaved Individuals
For those who have been struggling with prolonged grief, psilocybin can be a powerful tool in the journey toward healing and reclaiming a full, meaningful life.

“I lost both parents over the span of a year and was having trouble navigating the grief along with the new family dynamics that were left behind… Caroline and Amanda were such experienced and compassionate facilitators. I arrived feeling anxious and out of sorts, but they immediately rallied around me to make sure that I felt safe and welcome. The other women on the retreat were also exactly what I needed, and we made a bond that will hopefully last our lifetimes. It was amazing to support each other through our grief and give each other what we may have been missing in our everyday lives and support systems at home.”

What to expect on an Odyssey Retreat
Contemplation
The serene environment of the weekend retreat provides the perfect opportunity for meaningful reflection and profound conversation.
Emotional Safety
Guided by skilled facilitators, participants open themselves to vulnerability and curiosity. Tears are not only welcomed but encouraged as part of the healing journey.
Intentionality
Our retreats are specifically designed for individuals navigating life’s challenges. While psychedelics may be used recreationally, very few attend our retreats with that intention, as our focus is on personal growth and healing.
Bonding
The intensity of shared experiences fosters deep connections among participants, creating a sense of community and understanding.
What Our clients say
This experience was life changing in so many ways. It's like giving your soul a chance to be reunited with your body amidst breath taking scenery in a loving, safe environment. I felt like all of the facilitators were highly trained, empathetic, ethical and wonderful listeners. It was well worth the time and financial investment. I may even say it was more affordable than it should have been after seeing all that went in to it.
