"The combining of a silent retreat with a high dose psilocybin session, as was recently done in the study Roland [Griffiths] referenced, seems like a great idea. If human history bends in the direction it should, there will be retreat centers set up to do that sort of thing."

- Sam Harris

Program

This retreat will embrace the programming and contemplative nature of a traditional meditation retreat, complemented by legal psilocybin experiences. Recent research highlights the powerful synergy between psychedelics and meditation, showing that their combination can enhance mental clarity, emotional healing, and personal growth. Psychedelics can deepen meditation practice, while meditation helps integrate psychedelic experiences and sustain their benefits. Together, they offer a promising new path for training the mind and improving well-being.
Am I a fit for this program?

On the journey day, we'll travel to Fernlove, a nearby, licensed service center. State regulations require that the psilocybin session take place at a licensed service center, and we have hand-picked the most comfortable and trustworthy centers in the state.

Fernlove is truly one-of-a-kind — the only licensed service center in the state nestled deep within nature. Surrounded by sprawling acres of lush forest, healing and transformation unfold in the heart of the wilderness. Note that the psilocybin session itself takes place in remodeled accessory building (not outdoors).

In a double-blind study, meditation retreat participants received either a dose of psilocybin or a placebo on day 4 of the retreat. During the retreat, participants who received psilocybin reported greater meditation depth and higher levels of state mindfulness. Four months after the retreat, the psilocybin group had significantly higher scores for: appreciation for life, self-acceptance, quest for meaning/sense of purpose, and appreciation of death.

What Our clients say

Odyssey is the perfect combination of knowledgeable and professional expertise and a compassionate and caring approach. Really good people, who are really smart and know a lot about the medicine and how to help people benefit from it. My son and I both loved David Kahl and his sincere and professional approach. I know there is a whole spectrum of approaches to psilocybin and I think David and Odyssey hit the perfect balance spot.

Aaron, Odyssey private session client
Odyssey private session client, September 2025

I heard about Odyssey from a physician group that I trust very much. Being a physician myself, it was important to make sure I was in a safe, well-regulated environment. It was also important for me to have a wel- informed, highly trained professional to help me in my experience. All of these criteria were met beyond what I had hoped.

Jamila, Odyssey private session client
Odyssey private session client, September 2025

Odyssey exceeded my expectations,with their highly organized, professional and caring facilitators. They provide a safe and caring environment from beginning to end. Starting with the screening process, preparation, the session itself and integration session, you are in the best of hands. I can't recommend them enough to assist you in your journey.
