Something brought you here. That is worth paying attention to.

A legal, science-backed psilocybin program for people at a crossroads: successful on the outside, stuck on the inside. Screened, structured, and held by an experienced team.

As Featured In

Is this you?

You sense there is more to the life you're living.

 

Your life feels meaningful, but something feels flat or unfinished.


You have done therapy, read the books, or tried meditation. You are not looking for more of the same.


You are carrying something you cannot quite name: a pattern, a weight, a quiet knowing that more is available to you.


You are ready for something that can ignite real change in your life.


You are at a crossroads: an exit, a loss, a next chapter you cannot yet see, and you want clarity before you move.


Our guests come from many walks of life. They are at a crossroads, not in crisis, and they come for a reset rather than more of the same. What they share is a considered approach and a sense that the next step asks for something different. If something here resonates, that recognition is worth paying attention to.

The Science

Psilocybin dramatically increases neural connectivity

A landmark study by the Beckley Foundation and Imperial College London revealed that psilocybin creates thousands of new neural connections that do not exist under normal conditions. This increased connectivity, visible on brain imaging, offers a unique mechanism for lasting cognitive and emotional change.

This is not theoretical. Our published research validates the approach we take with every guest, and our Head of Research, Dr. AZA Allsop, brings Harvard/MIT doctoral training and an active Yale faculty position to our program design.

The Program

A full program, not just a retreat.

Most retreats end when you leave. Ours is an immersive retreat with preparation before you travel and integration once you are home, so what happens on retreat has somewhere to land. Before and after are online and at your own pace, one to two hours a week.

Phase 01

Prepare

4 weeks, online and at your own pace

One to two hours a week: group calls, one-on-one support, guided practices and resources in the Beckley app. Join late and we catch you up.

Phase 02

Immerse

4 to 5 days, on-site

1 to 2 guided psilocybin sessions with live music, breathwork, meditation, and other transformational practices in nature.

Phase 03

Integrate

6 weeks, online and at your own pace

One to two hours a week, from home: weekly group calls, short daily practices and science-backed tools to make the change hold. Ongoing connection with your retreat group.

On retreat

What the retreat includes

Nature, sessions, connection, integration, nourishment and rest. The days on site sit inside a full program of preparation and integration.

01

Nature

Mountain vistas in Trelawny, woodland and heath in the Netherlands. Time outside and a digital detox are part of the structure, not a break from it.

What to expect

02

Sessions

Two guided psilocybin sessions on separate days, in one room with your group and the full team. Music, and silence, in a space prepared for it.

What to expect

03

Connection

Facilitated group circles across the days, with each cohort composed with care. Most people arrive for themselves and leave talking about the others.

Who is in the room

04

Integration

Six weeks of support after you fly home, online and at your own pace: group calls, guided practices and a short daily practice.

What to expect

05

Nourishment

All meals and snacks included and made on site. Long tables, unhurried, and nothing to think about.

The properties

06

Rest

A private room, or a shared room at the lower price, depending on the property. Personal time is written into the days.
