"The [psychedelic] retreat has been one of the most powerful experiences of my life thus far."
"The retreat space felt sacred and safe -- I was able to truly focus on my own healing without judgment or the distractions of my day-to-day world."
"There was a sacredness to this experience for me. The beauty of collective healing."
"The beauty of a group experience, to attend to oneself and support one another. What is a very internal and personal journey, was able to be shared in a meaningful way."
