Mexico Forest Medicine Retreat - 7 Days


  • Present Moment Retreat Centre, Troncones, Mexico (map)

About This Event:

We invite you to a one-of-a-kind, transformative retreat experience to experience the beauty and power of psilocybin in a guided and therapeutic setting in the serene paradise of Troncones, Mexico. Hosted at Present Moment Retreat Centre, this journey spans seven days.

Our team of experienced facilitators are ready to support your healing journey. This immersive experience offers a complete arc of preparation, ceremony, and integration, supported through daily yoga and meditation, guided breathwork journeys, sacred cacao ceremony, traditional Temazcal sweat lodge, optional hapé, massage sessions, and dedicated integration practices.

Participants will experience one group psilocybin ceremony for deep healing and transformation, held within a safe and professionally supported environment. Modern medicine is confirming what many indigenous traditions have known for hundreds, if not thousands of years. To that end, we wish to cultivate a relationship based on deep respect, reverence, and integrity for these sacred plant medicine teachers.

Seven days are dedicated to preparation and integration, with breakfast and lunch provided daily, oceanfront lodging options, and time for rest, reflection, and exploration. Preparation and integration support is offered before and after the retreat, along with discounted access to The Flying Sage membership for ongoing support.

This retreat is intended for those seeking a profound shift in their life, resolution and healing with past traumas, and deeper exploration of consciousness and the mind-body connection within a group setting.
