“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 designed for individuals navigating prolonged grief from experiences such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, or other significant life changes. 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 Prolonged Grief
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 participated in Odyssey's grief retreat, and found it truly profound—something you have to experience firsthand to fully understand… The facilitators were knowledgeable about plant medicine and grief—two areas that were equally important to me. Their experience with grief work made all the difference. They were compassionate, patient, and fully committed, giving so much of themselves to each attendee. It was clear that they truly cared about everyone in the group.”

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

Release of physical and psychological pain from my heart. I chose Odyssey because it was focused on grief and that was the emotion that was holding me back despite therapy and meditation. Odyssey also impressed me very positively after communicating with Gabe and Amanda. Amanda and Caroline were amazing. Supportive, kind and highly intuitive woman. Love them!

It was an experience that you actually have to experience for yourself to understand it. I would say that it will be one of the most profound experiences of your life. I researched many different organizations for a psilocybin experience. My meeting with Gabe really helped put me at ease, as this was the first time I had ever considered an experience like this. The deciding factor was that it was combined with a grief retreat, and that was what I was specifically looking for. I'm so glad I chose to work with Odyssey. Both [facilitators] were knowledgeable in regards to the plant medicine and grief. It was very important to me to work with facilitators experienced in grief. They were compassionate, patient, and gave completely all of themselves to us. They truly cared about each attendee.

Lacie - California, USA
Odyssey retreat participant, November 2024

It was life changing. Full of support, compassion and great food too! Amanda and Caroline were incredibly kind and supportive and nurturing every step of the way. They put me at ease and made me feel like I had known them my whole life.

Elinor - New York, USA
Odyssey retreat participant, November 2024

Experiencing the wonder of psilocybin with a group of people searching for insight and personal growth was incredibly enriching. I found the advance group preparation and all the integration work following mushroom experience to be as powerful as the plant medicine itself. I previously participated in a one-day group experience through Project Circle with the same facilitator. Odyssey's multiple-day retreat, focused on grief, offered a much fuller experience. Being able to talk through the experience and insights with other participants was invaluable.
