I attended this retreat with 10 other wonderful people at the gorgeous Bluefields Bay Villas. 30 years of depression and anxiety and multiple drug failures sent me seeking a smarter way of living, so that i could find a way to live. What Mycomeditations has given me is not easily explained. On the surface, the seaside setting and beautiful weather and fabulous food is enough.

However, I was there to do the work that the mushrooms had planned for me. With amazing encouragement from Eric, Justin, Courtney, Athena, Denise, Dan, Nickesha, and Rushiene, I experienced painful revelations and release from the ego that I identified with,a victim of life, parents, narcissists, and the gripping misery that I could not find relief from. The mushrooms opened up my vision to witness the extraordinary beauty of the oneness of humanity and earth, and beyond. My work continues and now I have a treasure of beautiful people to help me when the old thought patterns creep in. Eric and his fellow psilocybin workers are helping many find light and wonder and a healthier way to enjoy this gift that is there for all.

My week at MycoMeditations was just what I had hoped for and more. The logistics of the trip were handled so well from the moment we touched down in Jamaica. My group was the first to stay at Bluefields Bay, and the staff there took great care of all 11 of us. My underlying anxiety that had brought me to this journey was quickly quieted after meeting Eric, Justin, Dan, Athena, and all of the great folks at Myco. The setting was picturesque for the three trips that we experienced. Each mushroom dosing session was followed by a thoughtful discussion the next day. There becomes a strong bond between each participant during this week. We were excited and encouraging of each other as we dealt with issues that had long been our nemesis.
For me, it seems the psilocybin allowed me to view life from a completely new perspective. Moments that had previously brought up strong emotions seemed to come up with the new ability to objectively view the event and even why it was necessary. My emotion and sympathetic nervous system seem much more disengaged from normal stressors and anxiety-provoking events post retreat.
I feel like I've been granted a 2nd chance to prioritize relationships in my life and put away things that aren't good for me (i.e. chasing stressful accomplishments that end up being empty victories). I hope to go back with family and friends to share the experience some day!
