"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."

Program
This retreat will embrace the programming and contemplative nature of a traditional silent 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.

Preparation and integration sessions

private chef

Cost Transparency
In the spirit of a meditation retreat, we strive to keep this experience as affordable as possible. Offering a retreat within the U.S. legal framework with the level of support we believe is essential is costly. Over time, we will do our best to reduce expenses while maintaining exceptional quality.
We ask you to contribute at the highest level you can comfortably afford. Your generosity enables us to expand access to these retreats, especially for those who cannot pay the full amount. Any revenue exceeding a 30% profit margin will go toward a scholarship fund for individuals with limited financial means.
Note: unlike traditional meditation retreats, where teacher compensation (dana) is offered voluntarily at the end, we ask for all contributions up front. Participants are in an emotionally open state after a psilocybin experience, and we believe it is inappropriate to request donations at this time. All teacher compensation is therefore included in the retreat cost.

Service Center
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, it offers the state’s only nature-immersed psilocybin experience, where healing and transformation unfold in the heart of the wilderness.

Research
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
Wow, the facilitators were incredible. They were so open, kind, caring, supportive, empathetic, nurturing - the list could go on. What a special team of women. They always were always attentive, gentle, and understanding to every participant's need. They all gave from their unique strengths and perspectives to make the journey and integration work so profound and meaningful. I LOVED the integration day and all of the different integration exercises we did. Hearing from all the participants about their journeys and getting to do the integration work with all the facilitators was one of the most beautiful and profound days of my life. It filled my soul. The connectedness and community felt on that day is a memory I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

It’s like a decade of emotional catharsis compressed into five hours. The task before me, and anyone who embarks on an experience like this, is understanding how to make meaning of that catharsis and integrating it into your life in a real and honest way.
Max, Odyssey private session client
Odyssey private session client, May 2025
I recently attended a psilocybin retreat organized by the team of dedicated professionals at Odyssey, and I can confidently say it was a life-changing experience. From the moment I contacted them, I was met with warmth and compassion, which set a conforming tone for the entire retreat. The facilitators are not only knowledgeable about the therapeutic aspects of psilocybin, but they are also deeply committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of each retreat participant. Throughout the journey, I felt supported and guided, allowing me to explore my inner self in a way I had never experienced before. The integration sessions were particularly valuable, helping me to process my insights and apply them to my everyday life. I cannot recommend Odyssey highly enough for anyone seeking a transformative experience with psilocybin in a safe and nurturing environment. If you're considering a psilocybin retreat, this is the place to go.
