If you’re on the fence with whether or not to book this trip, please read on! Next to giving birth to my two daughters, this has been the most beautiful and life changing experience of my life. Before booking this trip, I read every single review on here and everyone was absolutely right and I’m so excited to be home and writing this.

I’ll begin by saying that Abbie is fantastic! Not only is she a lovely person, but she’s super organized during this crazy time of Covid and was so helpful in helping with my anxiety surrounding all of the details that went into planning this trip. I chose to come to Treasure Beach a couple of days earlier and stay in Jamaica a couple following the retreat. I highly recommend this! I’m a busy single mother and it felt important to get there early to get into the right headspace and settled into the area before the retreat started. Also, it was amazing to have a couple of days to myself after the retreat ended, to unpack some things and to just be. Abbie helped me arrange all of this, transportation and all!

I did the ‘Comfort’ retreat and it was perfect! I had my own beautiful room and private bathroom as well. I want to give a major shoutout to the staff at Blue Marlin! They all kept things running seamlessly and by the end of the week, they felt like family. The food was amazing and the women who made our meals were so beautiful and you could tell that the food we consumed was made with absolute love. This was really important to my healing - I struggle with digestive issues and my tummy felt so light and healthy while I was there. Michael, who helps oversee and manage the property - I freaking loved him! I made a friend for life for sure! His calming presence was so appreciated.

The facilitators were everything I needed them to be! Jonas was lovely. He has this little boy charm to him and yet when he speaks, you feel the wisdom he holds, despite being so young. He’s super caring and kind, all of which you feel at your baseline and even more intensely in the trip space. Denise...oh Denise! What a beautiful human being. This woman is so full of love and vibrancy, she was the mother energy that I truly needed. Nikki is great as well! I felt the urge to give her the biggest hug during one of my trips and that embrace felt so warm and pure. Justin has this magical ability to hold space and I was captivated by this. Safety was a big concern of mine and I felt even more than that - I felt permission to be exactly as I am, no matter what that looks like. This was such a huge deal for me. I struggle a lot with anxiety, body issues, depression, childhood trauma, sexual trauma,etc and I felt so loved and accepted by everyone at Myco.

I was a bit hesitant to book my trip with Myco initially because of the cost. Now after seeing myself on the other side, it would’ve been worth every cent in my bank account. There’s a good reason that the fees are what they are and after spending a week there, you can easily see it. The changes that I not only feel in myself, but my family can see are invaluable. Deep down I knew there was another way of existing in this world. I knew that I could live and love deeper than I was. I’ve been home for a week now and I feel braver than I have in a long time. I feel much more capable of doing hard things in life. This isn’t a magic fix - meaning the mushrooms are a tool in your tool belt, but you have to be willing to show up for yourself. I am a better version of me since returning home and I will FOREVER have a place in my heart for this new tribe and for the beautiful country of Jamaica ️. It is our birthright to be happy. If you feel called to this kind of healing, please be brave enough to accept. There is so much beauty on the other side. Thank you Myco for it all!
