Imagine… Imagine yourself embarking on this journey, maybe a bit nervous, maybe a bit excited, but definitely feeling called to experience a profound and transformational psychedelic experience. You’ve been curious for a long time, and now you finally have the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
You participate in the preparation courses, learning everything you need to know to ease your concerns and feel fully prepared. Your guide is so knowledgeable, you already know you can trust her. Excitement is really building now. You have a good idea of what will happen, and you know what you’re searching for. Now is the time to take your first leap of faith!
You arrive at the retreat center, the air warm and inviting. Your guide knows you by name, she welcomes you warmly. You engage fully in everything, eager to experience the richness of the retreat. The meditations, the workshops, the journaling, everything. You’re surprised at how natural this feels, like a home coming, heart warming, and soul expanding reunion.
You are guided in how to build a personal understanding of psilocybin, first with a gentle, grounding nature bath that eases all of your fears and prepares you fully for the hero dose. You weren't really prepared for how profound the nature bath is. You knew you were excited for the hero dose, but now you can't wait.
Then next, with the powerful hero dose. The trip is everything you hoped for and more, but nothing you could have ever imagined. It's hard to put into words exactly, but you understand now why we have been communing with this medicine for centuries.
The peace and clarity feel above anything you expected. The love is palpable, pure, and gives you courage for your journey home.
Reintegration back to normal life feels a bit odd, but also good. It takes a while to understand the profound nature of everything that happened, little realizations and awakenings keep happening over the coming weeks. You lean into the reintegration support with your guide. You can tell she has walked this path before, it feels right.
Life is the same as it was before, but you realize that you are not. Changes start to happen, some smooth and some not, but they give you hope that you are on the right track.
After time, you realize that you’re coming full circle now. You look back and recognize your former self with love, and know that you are on the path you desire. You know that you will never have all the answers and life will cycle through it's ups and downs, but you feel at peace in a new way. You are at peace with who you are, where you are, and where you are headed.
