Explore the Transformative Potential of Psychedelics

A Safe, Legal Setting

Jamaica is one of the few countries in the world where psilocybin mushrooms are legal, which is why we've chosen it to host our retreats.

Includes Preparation, Navigation, and Integration

Our team of experienced facilitators is here to help you prepare for, navigate, and integrate your psychedelic journey.

Backed by Scientific Research

The benefits of psilocybin have been studied at universities like Johns Hopkins, NYU, and Imperial College London.

What Can I Expect From Atman Retreat?

A comprehensive 4-day experience designed to maximize the benefits of psychedelics

Pre-Retreat Preparation

Submit an application, then connect with one of our facilitators for an intake call. Make a payment to secure your spot, then receive your preparation package and book your flights to Jamaica!

Day 1: Arrive, settle in

We’ll pick you up at the airport and it’s a short drive to the villa. You’ll have time to unpack your bags, settle in, and get a feel for the space. Have a snack, enjoy the ocean view, and start meeting others in your group.

Day 1: Meet & Prepare

Through a combination of novel, fun and intuitive activities, you’ll get to know the facilitators and other members of your group.  You’ll be briefed on what to expect from psilocybin, led through intention setting exercises, and have 1-on-1 check-in time with a facilitator throughout.

Day 2: Experience

Your psilocybin experience takes place the second day of the retreat, in a comfortable indoor setting. The music, space and atmosphere are curated to deepen and enhance the effects of psychedelics. You’ll also have access to outdoor nature and the beach after the experience.

Day 3: Integrate

The following day is spent resting, processing, and integrating. Here you’ll be guided through exercises to explore and apply the insights you’ve gained. We might do yoga or meditation as a group, and you’ll have time to yourself to read, write, or just enjoy the tropical weather.

Day 4: Integrate & Depart

After a closing circle in the morning of the last day, we’ll take you back to the airport for your flight home. You’ll be provided with a farewell package of integration materials, and you’re invited to stay in touch with your group members online.

Post-Retreat Integration

Engage with the integration materials we provide to actualize the insights gained during your psilocybin journey. A facilitator will reach out to you to connect on an integration call a couple of weeks after your retreat.

  • Psilocybin session with a dose tailored to your intentions, preferences, and experience

Testimonials

"Fantastic work. Organization, location, peer group, facilitation - all worked together very well. Other than the life changing trip into essence of reality as it unfolds upon itself in each moment, [what I liked most about the retreat was] the ambience and setting of complete trust created by the facilitators."

"Beautiful! So much heart and soul! Perfect amount of structure to feel safe coupled with enough latitude to feel free. The facility is IDEAL. The facilitators and guides are sublime. I was encouraged, protected, held, challenged, loved and HEALED. We needed more time! I am grateful. I will encourage my daughters to attend!"

"Best retreat I’ve ever experienced. Felt safe, very pleased. What I liked most was the feeling of being psychologically safe and the amazing setting. The music was so nice. Keep up the good work. We all need your help."

Atman Retreat November 13-16, 2019

"So well run; so remarkably valuable to me that I rate it (from admittedly a vantage point of one week!) the second most important experience of my adult life, with the first being my marriage in 1965 to my wife Laura. I was most surprised by how much I gained from the other participants. Originally, I thought that the group aspect would diminish the personal odyssey. Such was emphatically not the case. In its totality, the retreat was successful far beyond my very high hopes. The entire staff was so competent and caring that I salute you all. Without such fine people, the whole experience would have been much diminished."

"It was an incredibly pleasant and rewarding experience. I have no complaints. What I liked most was the preparation and integration circles, the discussions we had, the people I got to meet. And the facilitators who worked so hard to make this a pleasant and meaningful experience. Thank you for making this possible!"

"Very positive. Very glad I came. Great meeting and bonding with others and our shared experiences. Felt facilitators were all here for the right reasons. Felt the variety of reasons the participants were here for made for a good and educational environment. Had the feeling I was in a safe, supported place where I could surrender to the experience. Had the feeling that my facilitators had my best intentions in mind as far as dosage and care and experience."

Atman Retreat June 9-12, 2019

"An amazing experience - truly life changing. The best part was the facilitators - every person brought their own flavor to Atman and it made a great soup. Most surprising was how great the group vibe was. I didn’t expect everyone to get along so well. Thank you so much for providing this experience. Wishing y’all (and all future groups) the best!"
