Welcome to our clinical trial. We’re glad you are here.
The scientific goal of this trial is to test a retreat-based group format for psilocybin therapy with a refined dosing regimen. But the ultimate goal of our research is for you to find a measure of harmony — ‘a positive state of inner peace, calmness, and balance, as well as the feeling of being tuned with the world and…a pattern of relationships between individuals and their social context”.
We’ve tried to include essential information for people enrolled in the August 2026 retreat.

A healing circle.
We are building on the foundation of psychedelic therapy established by indigenous practitioners and contemporary researchers. We view psilocybin-assisted therapy as a process that can enable people to find meaning and strength within themselves when they participate fully.
