Psychedelic medicine can be a powerful tool to help you find meaning and direction at any stage of your life.  We all have times when we experience anxiety, depression, loss of motivation, and a loss of direction. We are here to support you in seeing these challenges as opportunities to cultivate resilience and activate a mental reset. Psilocybin fosters neuroplasticity which helps you change your mind to change your moods and master your mind and mindset.

With over thirty years of experience in women's mind/body wellness, they bring years of wisdom and training to their retreats. Come join a community of like-minded women seeking meaning, camaraderie, and the transformational power offered by skillfully supported psychedelics. Release and relax on island time off the coast of Maine. Fall colors and quiet waves will transport you back to a peaceful pace.

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
  6. Personal growth and wellness
  7. Help with a myriad of mental health disorders including trauma, OCD, substance abuse, resistant depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD 

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!
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.
