I have been to MycoMediaitions twice - in February 2023 and April 2024. Both times were in the Bluefields Bay location. The retreat is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Words cannot describe what I went through at both retreats. The facilities and food are very good (and Abbie is an outstanding resource when it comes to both), but that's definitely not what caused me to go a second time. The facilitators, led by Justin and Gwen and supported by a large number of incredibly empathic and caring individuals, were truly beyond my expectations. The six trips themselves (three on each retreat) rank highly among the most profound experiences of my life - the range of emotions I went through - from love and sadness, terror and total peace - have changed my life. After the first retreat, I had a sense of peace in my daily life that was unlike anything I had previously experienced -- so much so that my biggest hesitation in returning was that I did not want to lose it. Despite this, I went back and had an even more positive experience the secon time and 2.5 months later, my sense of peace and calmness are even greater. I cannot say enough positive things about the experience. Be warned - the trips themselves can be challenging, but the rewards for going through it are 100% worth it.

For 30 years I have dealt with depression and anxiety. In the last 4 years, at times, it has been debilitating. As a wife and mother to 2 young children, I knew I needed to change. 30 years of medication and therapy just left me in a fog with muted emotions and I was just getting by everyday. After much research, I was curious about psilocybin assisted therapy. I thought I would give it a chance because what did I have to lose.

I attended MycoMeditation last month. I did lose something…my self doubt, my muted emotions, my fear and anxiety. I gained so much more than I could have ever imagined. I got my feelings back, self confidence, control, and self forgiveness. It changed my life. I’m not longer on antidepressants, the fog has lifted. My life and future is now full of hope and happiness.

This retreat is absolutely amazing. The team of facilitators are wonderful and I was so thankful to have them for this journey. I always felt safe and cared for. Myco’s dedication for helping their guests heal is evident in the support and love they show to everyone. Words don’t give justice to the experience I had because Myco has given me the tools I need to live a more fulfilled life. If you have the opportunity to attend one of their retreats, DO IT!

I have been a little hesitant to write a review regarding my stay at Mycomeditations, but I feel I need to write this review more about the wonderful, amazingly talented therapists who attempted to help me than my result.

The talent at Mycomeditations is by far the best I have ever experienced. The therapists are the most empathetic, sincere, kind, intelligent, giving, and just about any other glowing adjective a person could imagine. Truly, there is not one negative characteristic I could describe about any therapist I met at Mycomeditations. Every therapist was wonderful, each having slightly different talents. In addition to the therapists, the ladies who did the cooking and housekeeping were very sweet and accommodating; they made very delicious meals and the fresh fruit was so sweet (pineapples, mangos, papayas, bananas).

Unfortunately, while I had so much support and opportunity from staff and other guests, I feel I did not experience the breakthrough I had wanted. However, I feel I am part of the problem. I have a very strong spirit or personality and I am always trying to analyze issues.

I did experience a little breakthrough on my 2nd experience. I felt some of my anxiety and anger leaving my body, even though it was temporary. It was wonderful to release some of my anger, I credit the work of the therapist for not giving up on me. He sort of irritated me and that was exactly what I needed to release some of my anger towards the people who had hurt me.

On my 3rd experience, I was confronted with a part of myself that I knew existed but never really looked at as egoistic. With the help of a particular therapist, I realized the characteristic is something I find offensive and I am sincerely trying to leave it in the past.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Mycomeditations even though it wasn't the exact 'silver bullet' I was hoping to experience, the insight was very beneficial. There were other clients who did achieve some of their goals. Lastly, the retreat location is beautiful, right on the beach (Rainbow Tree).
