Am I a fit for this program?
This retreat is designed for individuals who feel creatively blocked, uninspired, or disconnected from their natural sense of imagination and expression. It is well-suited for artists, writers, and thinkers who sense untapped potential but struggle to access it in their current rhythm of life.
Benefits of Psilocybin for Creativity
A psilocybin journey may help unlock new patterns of thinking, dissolve creative blocks, and open access to fresh ideas and perspectives. It can support a shift out of rigid mental loops and into more fluid, intuitive modes of expression.

Service Center
Most of our retreats take place at Fernlove, which is both a retreat center and licensed service center. For retreats at other venues, on the journey day we'll travel to a nearby licensed service center.
State regulations require that the psilocybin session take place at a licensed service center, and we have hand-picked the most comfortable and trustworthy centers in the state. These centers incorporate all of the essential elements of a physical setting for a psychedelic journey—safe, physically comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, quiet, and free of potential distractions or interruptions—and more.
