I recently attended a one week retreat at Myco Meditations. WOW! This retreat blew my mind away. The facilitators were beyond excellent. Justin, as the retreat leader, has an innate ability to sense what someone needs before they even know it. Ben lead many deep and healing guided meditations. Dan, Matt, Nickesha and Ruschiene ensured all participants were safe at all times – physically and emotionally. The sense of community I experienced there, with the facilitators, staff and other guests, was 11 on a scale of 1-10. Everyone gets to speak openly and judgment free. Each and every guest (including myself) had major breakthroughs during the week. Lots of tears and lots of laughter. Other guests are now like family to me.

I had been through traditional therapy and medications before - on and off since college. Nothing healed me like a week at Myco with these amazing people. I came away feeling like my soul has been cleansed. I highly recommend Myco for anyone seeking to heal their heart, mind and soul.

I had an amazing week at MycoMeditations in Jamaica. It was transformational. Eric, Courtney, Dan, Ruschienne and the entire staff are warm, engaging, knowledgable, kind, funny and smart with years of experience deep in psychedelics. The location, accomodations, food and activities are all as nice, yummy and appealing as can be. I met other awesome humans traveling and exploring the inner workings of our minds and our world, and am better off for having spent a week with each and every one. I can't speak highly enough of the experience—recommend putting your fears aside and truly consider this beatiful opportunity.

A truly healing experience, in a beautiful setting with experienced, kind facilitators. Imagine getting 2 years of therapy in a week! It was difficult and intense, but my life is forever changed for the better. I had multiple breakthroughs that allowed me to fully accept and move on from past traumas, and to be open and accepting of what the future will bring. The multiple sessions allowed me to go as deeply as I needed, with wonderful support.

Do your research first, and if you think psilocybin can help you, this is the organization that can get results. (Some participants were not there for healing but for a spiritual journey, and they professed to be as satisfied with the experience as I was.)

Eric and Courtney have put together an excellent team. There is a strong emphasis on safety and much is done to help you trust the personnel. I felt a profound trust and connection to them all.

As a bonus, the food and the setting are top-notch. The Blue Marlin property is gorgeously landscaped with tropical trees and flowers. Hammocks can be found in several places. Meals are served under a roof of bougainvilleas. The beach is amazing for swimming or long walks. It was spectacular.

My wife and I attended the 2019 August 10 - 17 retreat.

As someone who has had decades of some relief from clinical depression and PTSD via fluoxetine (Prozac), I stay current in mental health research as best I can. Having seen the recent resurgence in psychedelics for the treatment of these disorders, I looked into participating in such a study. The age limit for participants is 65. I am 66.

Fortunately, I also discovered this retreat. I researched Eric’s (the founder of MM) history and read several reviews from those who went before. The few negative reviews I found were from people who wanted to run the retreat their way (exotic dancing, “certified” clinicians, blah blah blah).

Well, this retreat is run in a caring, safe environment by people experienced with the use of psychedelics and in facilitating the psychedelic experiences of others. A nurse is also present at each psychedelic event.

Each of my three ‘trips’ were on my terms. For one, I mimicked the John Hopkins study by using a blindfold and the music playlist they used. Another was sans music while walking around the grounds. Finally, one was without blindfold and my own playlist of music I love.

Perhaps my most significant trip was the (lowest dose) walking around trip. The point is that I was free to explore the best ways to make beneficial use of my experiences. An experience that I believe should be available to anyone in a free country.

I am again taking fluoxetine. My experiences did not ‘fix’ me. Eric told me (and everyone else) ahead of time that shrooms are not a magic bullet. While I had hope, I had no expectations from my experiences.

My journey continues. I have new friends to whom I can reach out. I am very happy that I found and experienced MM. Best to you and your journey. Oh, and it’s hot in Jamaica. I found short sleeved button down shirts to be more comfortable than tee shirts.

My sessions with Myco Meditations were among the most profound experiences of my life. I am grateful to have undertaken a great soul adventure under their auspices. I relied on their advice for all aspects of my journey, and was glad I did. They know more about you the minute you walk in the door than you will learn about yourself over the next year. Money can't buy what the Myco team does for you.

Our group leader Justin is a seasoned voyageur. He knows well the psychedelic landscape, and how to respond to all manner of demands. If you are going where no man has gone before, he's the guide you want at your side. Like Kit Carson in the Rocky Mountains, he's probably been there before. He has a command of the psychedelic literature and understands Jung's map of the psyche.

The facilitators are beyond incredible. These young people are themselves gifted in many different ways, with pure hearts and knowing eyes. I tremble to think of the powerful force for good they are becoming on behalf of their generation. You can trust them to watch over you and insure a safe return.

There is no way to really compensate the MycoMed team for what they did for me, and for many others every day of the week. There is no training for their art. Words fail any attempt to describe what they really did, and do every day. Suffice it to say they are guiding you and protecting you on many simultaneous levels: physical, emotional, psychic, energetic.
