How it works

Three phases. One program.

Most retreats end when you leave. Ours is built around what happens before and after, and the part at home is light: online, at your own pace, one to two hours a week.

01

Weeks 1 to 4 · Online, at your own pace

Prepare

One to two hours a week, at the times that suit you. A 1:1 intake call with a facilitator, group calls with the people you will spend the week with, and guided practices in the Beckley app. Join late and we catch you up.

  • 1:1 intake call
  • Group calls with your cohort and lead facilitator
  • Guided practices and resources in the Beckley app

02

Week 5 · Four or five nights on retreat

Immerse

A private venue and a group of up to 18. Meditation, breathwork, time in nature, and a digital detox if you want one. At the centre of the retreat, two guided psilocybin sessions on separate days, each followed by a day to make sense of it.

  • Two guided sessions, with at least one facilitator for every four guests
  • A day of integration after each session
  • All meals, accommodation and airport transfers included

Weeks 6 to 11 · Online, at your own pace

Integrate

Again one to two hours a week, from home. Weekly group calls with your cohort, short daily practices, and tools that turn the experience into habits that hold. Then an alumni community that stays open.

  • Weekly group calls, for six weeks
  • Short daily practices in the app
  • Optional 1:1 coaching with a facilitator

On retreat

What the days look like

Quiet, structured and unhurried. Nothing is asked of you except to take part and notice your own experience. The days, one by one.

  1. Arrival

    Settle in

    Private transfer from the airport. Meet your group and the team.

  2. The first days

    Prepare on site

    Meditation, breathwork and gentle movement. Time with a facilitator to set your intention.

  3. Session days

    Two guided sessions

    Around six hours each, in one room with your group and the full team. Music guides the arc. A facilitator is within reach the whole time.

  4. The day after

    Make sense of it

    Group circles, 1:1 time, rest, and practices to take home.

  5. Departure

    Close the week

    Closing circle, then a private transfer to the airport. Integration begins the week after you return.

In each session every guest receives a custom amount within a predefined range, around what you would see in a clinical trial in the US. This is not medical treatment. Screening, the team and the venue, in detail: Why Beckley

Formats and pricing

Two formats, two countries

Both include two guided sessions and the same four weeks of preparation and six weeks of integration, online and at your own pace. Prices are per guest, by room type. What the price covers.

Fit

Who the program is for

People at a crossroads rather than in crisis. Founders, executives, physicians, therapists, attorneys: people who have built a full life, and something in it has gone flat or stuck. They want clarity about what is next, and a real reset rather than more of the same.

Most of our guests are in their 40s through 70s. What they share is a considered approach and a sense that the next step asks for something different.

Every applicant is screened, and every applicant has a suitability call with our team. It is not optional: it is where we go through your history together and make sure the program is a fit, for you and for the group.

Some medications, including SSRIs and SNRIs, may mean the program is not the right fit, or not yet. Apply anyway and tell us. Applying takes about seven minutes, and approval does not commit you to attend. Who the program is not right for.

Where

The only two countries where this is fully legal

Jamaica and the Netherlands are the only two countries where psilocybin is fully legal. Working with psilocybin is federally illegal in the United States, which is why our programs run abroad. How to choose between them. Each venue is private, quiet and prepared for the retreat.

Before you apply

Questions people ask

How much time does it take before and after the retreat?

One to two hours a week, online and at your own pace: four weeks before you travel and six weeks after you return. There is one weekly group call at a set time. Everything else fits around your schedule, and if you join late we catch you up.

I have never done anything like this. Which format should I choose?

The five-night Signature Program. The longer retreat carries the most preparation and support on site, which is why we recommend it to first-time guests.

I take medication. Can I still come?

Some medications, including SSRIs and SNRIs, may mean the program is not the right fit, or not yet. Apply anyway and tell us. The suitability call is where we work that out together. Our FAQ has the detail.

What happens when I get home?

Integration starts the week after you return: six weeks of group calls, daily practices and tools, plus optional 1:1 coaching. Then the alumni community, which stays open.
