Plant Medicine Therapy Retreats

A therapeutic retreat experience combining indigenous plant medicines—such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and psilocybin mushrooms—with expert facilitation to support emotional healing, trauma resolution, and personal growth in a safe, structured setting.

What Is Plant Medicine Therapy?

Plant medicine therapy refers to the ceremonial use of psychoactive substances derived from traditional plants—most commonly Ayahuasca, San Pedro (Huachuma), and psilocybin-containing mushrooms—to facilitate deep emotional healing, self-exploration, and spiritual insight. These medicines have been used for centuries by Indigenous cultures, especially in South America, as tools for treating emotional, physical, and spiritual imbalances.

Unlike recreational or unstructured psychedelic use, plant medicine therapy is highly intentional and ritualized. You participate in a carefully guided ceremonial setting, supported by experienced facilitators and medical professionals, where your experience is both personal and therapeutic. These retreats offer a unique opportunity to explore underlying trauma, connect with your emotions, and shift long-standing patterns of thought and behavior.

Why Seek a Plant Medicine Retreat?

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, weighed down by trauma, or seeking a deeper connection to yourself and others, plant medicine therapy may offer a new path forward. Many participants describe it as a powerful reset—helping them access emotions they’ve long buried, gain perspective on painful life experiences, and reconnect with a sense of purpose.

You do not need to identify with any specific spiritual tradition to benefit. Our program welcomes individuals, couples, and small groups seeking healing, clarity, and growth.

Common reasons people seek plant medicine retreats include:

  • Healing from unresolved trauma or grief
  • Breakthrough in personal development
  • Recovery from burnout, disconnection, or existential distress
  • Processing relational difficulties
  • Spiritual exploration and inner clarity

How the Retreat Process Works

All of our plant medicine retreats are conducted in South America or Jamaica, in collaboration with trusted local facilitators, medical professionals, and experienced healers who honor the cultural and ceremonial roots of these practices.

The process includes:

  1. Pre-Retreat Preparation: Before your retreat, you’ll meet with a therapist to explore your intentions, prepare mentally and emotionally, and ensure you’re a good candidate for the experience.
  2. The Retreat: You’ll travel to a natural, secluded retreat center where ceremonies are held over several days in a supportive environment. You’ll be guided through each plant medicine journey by facilitators who are trained in both safety and traditional ceremonial practices. Lodging, meals, and integration support are included during the stay.
  3. Post-Retreat Integration: After the retreat, you’ll work with a therapist to reflect on your experience, process emotions or memories that surfaced, and identify how to apply these insights in your daily life. Integration is essential to lasting healing.

Throughout the entire process, you’ll be supported by professionals who understand both the clinical and cultural dimensions of plant medicine.

Why Safety and Respect Matter

Plant medicine isn’t a quick fix, and it’s not appropriate for everyone. That’s why we work only with licensed physicians, trained facilitators, and local Indigenous partners who adhere to safety protocols, ethical standards, and cultural respect.

Our retreats are not “psychedelic tourism.” They are healing intensives grounded in evidence-based preparation and aftercare, supported by the Behavioral Wellness Clinic’s commitment to ethical, person-centered mental health care.

Who Are These Retreats For?

These retreats are designed for:

  • Individuals looking for trauma healing beyond traditional talk therapy
  • Couples seeking relational clarity or reconnection
  • Groups interested in collective healing or exploration of shared intentions

Participants must complete a medical screening and therapeutic intake to ensure plant medicine is safe and appropriate for their needs.
