Oregon Retreat
Bend, November 10-17, 2024
We are excited to offer week-long intensive retreat in Bend! During this seven-day, in-person program, participants will attend didactic seminars, learn how to integrate breathwork and meditation into psychedelic therapy practice, and gain hands-on experience in facilitating and receiving plant medicine sessions. This immersive week weaves together practical and experiential elements of plant medicine training in a setting that fosters shared community and relationship-building. All meals and lodging on premises are included.
Preparation
In the weeks before your retreat, you will have a virtual medical intake with one of our prescribers. You will also participate in a virtual preparation session with the rest of your retreat cohort. This will be a space for you to get oriented to the training, ask questions, and get to know your fellow trainees. Our team will also send you resources to help you start preparing for your retreat, including video meditations, guided breathwork, and journal prompts.
Cost
The 7-day retreat in Bend, happening on November 10-17, costs $6,500. This cost includes food, lodging, shuttle from the airport, and a massage.
Breathwork and Meditation
We incorporate guided meditation, breathwork, and somatic practices into all our patient work. We believe that these practices are vital pathways toward healing and somatic awareness that lay the foundation for psilocybin preparation and provide ongoing channels for integration. During our training retreats, we bring in skilled practitioners to provide participants with first-hand experience of how these modalities complement and deepen the plant medicine experience.
Cancellations
If for any reason you need to cancel your attendance at the retreat, you can do so up to 14 days before the start of the retreat and your tuition will be applied to a future retreat. If you cancel less than 14 days before the retreat, you will be charged a $2,500 late cancellation fee and your remaining balance will be applied to a future retreat.

This medical intake form will help us know if psychedelics are safe and appropriate for you. If you are not medically eligible to receive psychedelics, you can still attend retreats and not receive medicine, but still learn to facilitate. We will discuss with you individually if there are any questions.

Breathwork
Breathwork utilizes controlled breathing techniques to influence a person's mental, emotional, and physical state, and it prepares participants in psychedelic experiences by fostering a deep sense of calm and presence, allowing for more profound and insightful experiences.
Meditation
Meditation practices are essential in cultivating mindfulness and inner stillness, both critical for navigating psychedelic experiences. By training the mind to observe thoughts without attachment, participants learn to approach their psychedelic journeys with a centered and open mindset, enabling a more introspective and healing experience.
Somatic Practices
Somatic practices incorporate body-oriented techniques to enhance awareness of bodily sensations and foster embodiment. In psychedelic therapy, these practices help individuals anchor their experiences in the physical body, promoting grounding and safety.
