Benefits of Psychedelic Medicine

The benefits of psychedelics include: 

  1. Increasing neuroplasticity
  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

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.



Accommodations and Why Manitou Springs?

Manitou Springs is known as a hippie, artist’s town tucked away at the foot of Pikes Peak, steps away from Garden of the Gods, the Manitou Mineral Springs, Cave of the Winds, and Cave Dwellings. Our beautiful home is The Avenue, a historic icon in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Built-in 1886, this Queen Ann-style Victorian Mansion is one of the most unique, and exclusive private luxury lodging facilities in Colorado. Peer up the 3 story winding staircase, and take in the grandeur of this majestic piece of architectural history. There is so much to see and do in and around Manitou Springs you can extend your trip by a day or two and hike the Manitou incline if you dare ( 2,000 feet vertical feet).


 We will be offering an optional Sunday evening trip to the Manitou Mineral Springs, where we will soak in the cedar tubs with stunning views of the mountain and enjoy the full moon rising.  The land upon which Manitou Springs was founded had long been a sacred cultural crossroads for the Anasazi, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Ute, and Arapaho people. They gathered here near the mineral springs, whose natural carbonation they called The Breath of The Great Spirit.

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!
By Terese W for Women's Psychedelic Wellness Retreat: Finding Your Purpose & Passion on Oct 01, 2024

The event exceeded my expectations. The entire agenda was well organized and thoughtful planned. There were many extras I wasn’t expecting and the people that provided the services were professionals in their fields. Heather and Monica clearly know how to make people feel safe and comfortable in this space. I highly recommend them without hesitation.
