Reviews

There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to Heather Lee and Monica Ramunda for their expertise and thoughtfulness exercised in every aspect of this retreat. Having a psilocybin journey designed, curated, and guided by these two pioneers of psychodelic Assisted Therapy was invaluable for me to heal years of trauma and grief. The beautiful property, the food, the group sessions- every detail created an environment of trust and support. It was worth every penny and more! After deep research into the benefits of this natural and ancient healing medicine it was important to me to find western therapists who understand the power and wisdom of using mushroom based psilocybin to help suffering people make immediate and lasting progress. Heather and Monica stood out in this field of practice. Their dedication to a retreat environment adds an indescribable dimension of support and pampering beyond all expectations. Since the retreat I have had zero desire for any substances; prescribed or otherwise. I urge anyone considering a retreat with Heather and Monica to just do it!

The event exceeded my expectations. The entire agenda was well organized and thoughtful planned.
