Enjoy our magical setting which includes amazing views and hikes, private dinner parties, and a Goddess Moon celebration among the Red Rocks of Colorado.  Psychedelic medicine creates new paths and patterns in your brain that enhance your resilience, optimism, and ability to have a more balanced and peaceful perspective.

Benefits of Psychedelics

  2. Increased openness and increased ability to create change
  3. Decrease in depressive symptoms and anxiety
  4. Access to intuition and inner wisdom
  5. Help with cognitive aging and flexible thinking. Neuroprotective
  6.  LIkeliness of a mystical experience, deep connection to self, others, and our planet

Psychedelic medicine is steeped in tradition and ceremony and used by people all around the world for hundreds of years. When consumed these medicines open our hearts and souls to a deeper perspective of ourselves, our lives, nature, and meaning. It is an honor to work with psychedelic medicine and ceremony to help bring awakening, insight, and inner wisdom to those who journey.
Psychedelic medicine's therapeutic benefits are gaining great support from the medical and mental health community. The Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research is leading much of the research and continually demonstrating these medicines' safety and effectiveness. Ketamine and psilocybin are some of the safest drugs available, safer than alcohol, cigarettes, and almost anything in your medicine cabinet.

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.
