I’ve been a few psychedelic retreats. I thought Mycomeditations was my favorite by far. A big negative first; the price is damn high compared to some other places, but you will know where your money went once you get past sticker shock and start the retreat.
A great distinction with this retreat is the quality of the facilitators. Yes, most facilitators at retreats are warm and nice and believe what they are doing. But the quality of Myco staff is 1-3 levels above most other places. A large portion of the facilitators are experienced therapists and have seen it all and know how to create a welcoming atmosphere for all types of people. I am retired military and had concerns about not fitting in at “some hippie mushroom retreat.” However, the staff really creates a perfect atmosphere to feel comfortable and safe and develop into a better person with the help of psilocybin. The integration meetings and one on one chats are an integral part of the process here and you can tell that these people know what they are doing ever step of the way.
I also appreciate the ecumenical nature of this retreat. All types of people from all walks of life can come here with their different belief systems. At Myco meditations, you are not pressured or told to believe in plant spirits, or snake gods, etc...which is a welcome difference from some of the shamanic traditions. Also, some of the visions and experiences you have are very meaningful but can be difficult to interpret at the surface level. I’m glad that the staff and you are the ultimate interpreters and judges and no shaman or anybody else is going to read the tea leaves of the universe to tell me what I’m supposed to take away from happens here.
I would recommend this place to my Mom or anyone else interested in being a better person.
Thank you Raoul, we're happy you felt that MycoMeditations met your expectations, and we deeply appreciate your recommendation.
Take care,
The Myco Team
I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to explore psilocybin with supportive facilitators. This was the perfect environment for personal growth, connection with fellow participants, and our kind Jamaican staff. The stunning beauty of nature was all around us, and the ocean beckoned just outside a gate.
It makes us happy to hear you felt so good about the environment, our staff, and your fellow participants!
Thank you for the review...much love!
I spent the week prior to xmas recently and I want to write about the setting, the staff and the dosing. All of this is done with planning and great care, there is a lot of pre-anxiety for most guests but the staff is so professional in how they handle the process that you don’t feel left behind, supported by this are some of the local Jamaican people who also provide support staff and hospitality that also allows you to immerse yourself into the wonderful SW part of Jamaica, (granted the mosquitoes can be a nuisance at night, just bring some repellent and you will be fine). The take away is one of support, a opportunity to change from the past and the mycellium has a natural way to do this. I hope others will give this retreat a shot, its quite a different setting than doing therapy in an office..
Thank you, and we're glad to hear you had such a positive experience with the Myco staff. Take care!
Most life-changing week of my life. Led by brilliantly experienced professionals, with safety a reassuring top priority. Hard to imagine that there is anyone else in their league.
We appreciate it. Thank you!
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.
Thank you for the kind review. You achieved a powerful insight, and we hope it has continued to help guide you ever since the retreat!

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!
