From the first moment I signed up to this second now writing this review, they are with you in person and spirit. Always available and ready to help you on your journey.
Our purpose is to reconnect people to themselves, to each other and to nature. We facilitate people’s healing, trauma release, exploration of the unknown, non-ordinary states of consciousness or shift in perspectives. We promote the exploration of inner creativity and personal development.
Before attending one of our retreats, all applicants must submit an application form and agree to a Health Screening and Full Disclosure with MycoMeditations to ensure their health and safety. We have created a psilocybon-assisted retreat model that aims to provide guests with the best possible outcomes. Our psilocybin mushrooms are also locally cultivated, and lab tested to ensure potency, consistency, and quality for our guests.
My experience with both retreats is nothing short of profound and transcendent. For me, these two retreats rank up there with the most meaningful experiences I’ve had in my life.
"It was among the two or three most difficult experiences of my life, but I've come out of it with my depression symptoms very much lessened, and I can't say that for any other treatment I've tried over the last 25 years. Steel yourself, come prepared for hard emotional work, and give it your all. You'll be grateful you did."
"I’m off my antidepressants and proud of myself; I just feel like a more fully integrated person. That negative critic inside my head has just almost totally shut up. My friends have noticed the difference and are already signing up for their own retreats with Myco!""My anxiety, a "10" going in, varies from zero to one or two. This change is, without a doubt, absolutely astonishing."
Mission Statement: At our organization, our aim is to introduce sacred psychedelics and ceremony into the wellness space. Additionally, we promote and provide a platform for many women healers working in this area by emphasizing Mexican spiritual traditions as well as modern applications of these plant medicines. We are well known for our lighthearted yet compassionate approach to serious, deep healing. In an atmosphere of support, we believe we can release deep traumas and bring joy back into life. Our retreats provide classes in mindfulness meditation and, when appropriate, utilize sacred teacher plants such as Ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, San Pedro cactus and cannabis as sacred teacher plants. Each retreat group consists of three guests for every leader ensuring an intimate experience that combines the sacred with the modern; traditional ways with fresh insights; divine with everyday living.
At Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum Method, our goal is to assist you in transitioning from feeling disconnected, anxious, and self-loathing into feeling empowered, present, and completely in love with yourself. You have all of the tools within yourself to change your life permanently; sometimes just a bit of love and support can go a long way towards real change.
Details of the Program
Psychedelic Integration is the process of exploring challenges and sharing insights gained during your ceremony. Any feelings, sensations or insights brought up during your retreat can be important in aiding healing; true healing takes place when we accept all our ideas and emotions fully while feeling safe to do so. Professional assistance during this phase can increase chances for long-lasting change; by taking part in integration we create new stories and patterns within ourselves that go well beyond just one ceremony itself.
As with any psychedelic drug, individual experiences will vary when psilocybin is administered. The higher the dose, the higher the chance of the experience feeling mystical. Should you have such an experience, these experiences tend to be filled with euphoria, transcending into a timeless, dream-like state, connecting to something greater, and more. Improved psychological outcomes are also related to the occurence of a mystical experience.

“There is a lot of blurriness right now between the recreational party scene and the ceremonial plant-medicine scene,” she said. “The mind-set has to be about going into it for healing.”

"I’m convinced eight days with MycoMeditations did more to help heal my psyche than a lifetime of pills/IVs and counseling was ever going to. I frequently see the word “ineffable” used by others to describe their psilocybin experiences, and I’m similarly at a loss for words."
I’ve attended two Psilocybin Retreats. I can say unequivocally that both experiences deserve more than five stars!
Jorge's approach to therapy is characterized by empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on their patients' lives. She employs evidence-based techniques and tailored treatment plans to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Jorge firmly believes in fostering a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns and working towards growth and healing.
A typical macro dose is 3.5 grams of dried psilocybin mushrooms. When you arrive you have a consultation with our providers to determine the best dose for your treatment. There are 3 main factors our providers will consider when it comes to determine dosing. 1. Body weight2. Tolerance3. Significance of experience there to heal. How is the macro dose administered?The macro dose before the treatment is ground up, weighed on a digital scale and mixed with orange juice for fast and even uptake.Is there a booster dose?During a treatment experience after the recommended dose has been administered, if the participant wants to extend the experience or increase the intensity the providers can offer another 1.5 grams as a booster dose.
Like other people, I’ve had many past psychedelic experiences in my life, but none can compare to the experiences I’ve had Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum.
The group journey proved to be a wonderful part of the experience that reached through my usual social anxiety, creating healthy connections that last well beyond the retreat. Fresh, healthy cuisine sourced locally, celebrating with and opening up to new friends, meditation and exercise, a pervasive sense of safety and security, all lifted us out of our shells.
“I was shown why I’m not happy, and it became clear I was carrying around the pain of my ancestors,” said Ms. Cohen, a deep-tissue manual therapist who has struggled with depression for 20 years. After that night, she said she found clarity, and has since sought out two other psychedelic retreats, traveling to Costa Rica and California for guided, extended experiences with hallucinogens.
There is extraordinary cause for caution: Psychedelics can cause psychosis or long-term mental health issues, particularly in patients with a predisposition to mental illness. This can create a tricky scenario for health care providers to navigate because many people turn to psychedelics after struggling with at least some form of depression or anxiety. And in retreat centers, when guests are not properly monitored, the potential for long-term transformation could have deadly consequences.
I arrived reserved and unsure and left in a space of love, joy, internal peace and fully energized. The week was so well curated with workshops/classes including breath work, yoga and movement and more. From the moment we arrived at the beautiful and well appointed retreat villa (with killer views and abundant space) we were taken care of. The food was clean, creative and made with love…every meal. And the fellow attendees, who are all there for different reasons, from different backgrounds become a tribe of supporters, cheerleaders and friends for each other. That alone felt magical. Nothing was forced, it just unfolded beautifully (because Jorge and her team really know their stuff on so many levels).
If you suffer as I have, know that this was all I had hoped it would be, and my healing began when I decided to go.
To say that Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum appeared in my life when I needed it the most is an understatement. From the moment I arrived, I felt at peace. The energy of Jorge and her staff was out of this world. This retreat was so fulfilling, I can’t put it into words. The treatment is next level luxury, and the food and accommodations were magical. I would highly recommend coming here, I know I’ll be back.
Jorge is passionate about raising awareness about mental health and reducing the stigma surrounding it. Her reputation as a compassionate and highly skilled clinician precedes her, earning her the respect and trust of both colleagues and patients alike. Her unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality care makes her a sought-after professional in the field of clinical psychology.
The Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum Team consists of experienced professionals; trained in the best practices used in research trials, they have prepared and guided hundreds of participants safely through the full variety of psychedelic experiences.
I’ve undertaken many deep psycho-logical retreats. They helped me under- stand my past and my pain on a cognitive level, but the black dog still snarled. Could psilocybin be the missing link? So far, four weeks post-retreat, I feel calmer and clearer, my mood noticeably lighter – it’s as if a surgeon has excised a swamp from my brain. Life-changing? Very probably. Certainly, we need caution and care as we open the doors of perception, but open them we should, I believe. The benefits to ourselves and the wider society could be seismic.
Andrew joined thePsilocybin Retreat Sanctum Team January 2022 after a Psilocybin treatment with Jorge and Team. After suffering from anxiety for 6 years the treatment was a turning point. He had created success in business as a marketing consultant and also worked helping other entrepreneurs with mental health struggles. Andrew instantly felt connected with the tribe and the love they shared with all their clients. quickly became family and Andrew began helping with treatments as a provider. Pretty quickly it became apparent that there was synergy with the team. Andrew wanted to offer the same transformation he found through his treatment and offered to help expand the vision and reach 1000’s more wonderful people here atPsilocybin Retreat Sanctum and came on board!
I originally set out to have this experience in support of my husband. I was unsure of the group environment but went with an open mind and heart. I found an amazing group of people and a loving , safe and non judgmental environment. The accommodations were beautiful. The food was really great , healthy and fresh. The house staff was am amazing and friendly. Words could never fully describe Jorge and her team of facilitators- warm, sensitive, loving, compassionate, intuitive above all freaking unbelievably amazing. The ceremonies for me were absolutely beautiful and though personally hard for me I found a journey of release and forgiveness of my pain and myself. I found strength in others in my group and kindness, sweetness and love . I would do this again without hesitation and will do with others I love in the near future.
our team of professionals perform comprehensive health screenings for all applicants in order to identify any personal health risks, ensuring the safety of all of our participants.
I am five days past an incredible 7 day journey at Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum. I came with a heart and mind full of depression, confusion and skepticism. During my stay I experienced healing given to me through yoga, meditation, breathing techniques, psilocybin and the loving care of Jorge and her team. I left with hopefulness, contentment, love and a new view of this world and my life in it.
Victor is our Sound and Water Therapy facilitator. He uses different instruments with frequencies allow you to reduce anxiety and stress levels, improve sleep , provide physical, mental and emotional relaxation, facilitate deep meditative states, and improve focus and concentration.
We had an opportunity to share/process as a group, in small groups, and 1 on 1 with facilitators and each other. And being witness to nearly a dozen other people (now my tribe) working thru their “stuff” and supporting me thru mine was undoubtedly magical, and quite an honor.
of people agreed that their experience helped them address their biggest personal obstacle in a significant way

Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum is committed to science-based data and contributing to research. To date we’ve collaborated with The Psychedelic Research Group of Imperial College London in a pilot study where it was revealed that the largest contributors to a transformational psychedelic journey are sense of safety, quality of intention, the absence of escapist behaviors and distractions, and the feeling of community - all important aspects that we safeguard. By participating in a Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum program, you get the opportunity to contribute to pioneering science.

Preparation is key for maximizing the potential of a beneficial psychedelic experience and integration is important for prolonging the benefits. We are dedicated to ensuring that our participants understand the unique ways that truffles containing psilocybin can aid in growth and expansion.
5 MEGA stars! So I believe the secret ingredient that makes Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum such a spectacular and transformative experience is simply L O V E. Jorge and her team pour every ounce of their heart and soul into each and every day and every guest. In turn, their care and compassion become contagious amongst the participants. We became a kindred family and it was beautiful to witness and be a part of. I arrived at the retreat tired, despairing, and desperate. Slowly as the days passed and the medicine did its thing – those words were replaced with joy, peace, and faith. Two weeks later and I still feel a deeply planted sense of serenity and faith that the cosmos is conspiring in my favor. Feeling just ok was something that was beyond my reach prior to the retreat – no matter how much journaling, meditation, yoga, blah blah blah I did. My heart is full-to-overflowing with gratitude for the many gifts that I received during this magical and numinous experience. I look forward to making it an ongoing part of my spiritual wellbeing practice. If you are in a position to do this for yourself – DO IT! Impossible to regret. Impossible to forget.
"We are walking trauma units. If you are scared of anything in life, come here and let it all go. Let the process have you and you will never ever wonder what if again. Bare your soul...you will leave a better you."
“Psilo” is a shorthand for “psilocybin”, a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, also known as “magic mushrooms”. At Eleusinia Retreat, guests can participate in a psilocybin or “psilo” retreat ceremony where they consume psilocybin-containing mushrooms as part of their experience. This all-inclusive wellness retreat is designed to offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals to learn, understand and explore the potential benefits and limitations of psilocybin use with the guidance of experienced professionals.
To understand how the Sanctum is different, it is important to note that our program is different. We Prioritize the science and neurological benefits behind psychedelics, Psilocybin Retreat Sanctum distinguishes itself from other retreats which exclusively focus on potential spiritual or religious enlightenment. While the Sanctum recognizes the spiritual and religious enlightenment experienced by its clients, the Sanctum’s program also focuses on neuroplasticity, brain health, pain management, and personal growth. Along with teaching techniques and approaches for managing a psychedelic trip itself, the program also empowers guests to incorporate psychedelics into their wellness routine with independence and self-sufficiency. The community atmosphere promotes learning, growth, shared discussion, and general reflection while encouraging spiritual experiences. The program’s support extends well beyond the retreat itself, providing guests with a dedicated private network for communication, questions and discussion beyond the days of the retreat itself, along with updated articles, online classes, research links, and cultivation course videos. The Sanctums’s mission is to equip guests with the confidence, independence, and tools needed to manage their condition and goals independently, while continuing to receive support from doctors and family back home.
Psilocybin is the active ingredient in more than 200 species of magic mushrooms and truffles. Psilocybin-containing fungi grow in environments such as tropical and subtropical humid forests. They are also cultivated indoors by professional and amateur mycologists.
Although psilocybin and the fungi that contain it are still illegal in many parts of the world, the stigma surrounding their use is fading quickly due to the recent surge of positive research studies, anecdotal accounts, and companies championing the use of psychedelics.
Human beings have used psilocybin throughout history for spiritual and personal growth purposes. Ancient rock art in Algeria and Spain depicting mushroom use is estimated to be thousands of years old.
According to the “Stoned Ape Theory” originated by Terence McKenna, an American ethnobotanist and psychedelics advocate, the discovery of magic mushrooms about 200,000 years ago was responsible for birthing language, strengthening community, and the doubling in size of the human brain.
Psilocybin is widely regarded as a safe substance. In a 2010 study that ranked the safety of various drugs based on measurements of how a drug harms the individual and others, psilocybin was shown to be the safest out of 20 substances. It was a full 12x safer than alcohol and more than 4x safer than tobacco. Simple factors such as having a guide present and being in a quiet indoor or secluded outdoor area can ensure safety.
Many suffering from depression and anxiety have benefitted from using psilocybin in a safe setting with proper mental and emotional support. Those who commit to sitting with and developing curiosity about difficult emotions may enjoy tremendous growth and healing with the help of psilocybin. We have worked with countless journeyers whose mental health has improved after incorporating mushrooms into their lives.
Committing to a regular microdosing schedule for a few weeks or months can be a safe and effective start toward establishing long-lasting change. For some, positive results can manifest almost overnight. In contrast, for others, several days, weeks, or months are necessary for the benefits to become apparent. Developing one’s capacity to practice faith, fortitude, and patience amid difficulties is essential to the work.
We recommend taking a holistic approach when working through depression and anxiety, seeking to understand and work with these conditions rather than attempting to rid yourself of them. Along with taking mushrooms, developing a solid support network, establishing healthy routines, and practicing gratitude and generosity is vital.

We prides itself on being a welcoming space for all, and not just those with certain medical conditions. While the program may have been originally designed to cater to individuals with chronic pain conditions, we believe this fact only adds to the level of care and attention we offer to our guests. Catering to individuals with medical conditions means that our Retreat places a premium on providing a safe, secure, and accessible environment to explore the benefits of psilocybin. Whether you’re looking to address a specific medical condition or simply seeking to enhance your overall wellness, Our Retreat offers a welcoming and supportive environment to help you achieve your goals.
At the Sanctum, we know the science behind the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of psilocybin and can coach our visitors on how to leverage them for better health as part of a long term plan.
