How does psychedelic therapy work?
During psychedelic therapy sessions, individuals consume a controlled dose of the psychedelic substance under the guidance of trained therapists in a safe and supportive environment. The psychedelic experience typically lasts several hours and is often accompanied by intense perceptual changes, altered states of consciousness, and profound insights.
Psilocybin retreats
In the retreats substances such as Magic Mushrooms or truffles may be used – these contain psilocybin as an active element, which can help participants explore, heal and gain life changing perspectives. It can be a great catalyst for personal transformation.
