Does every retreat include psychedelics?
Absolutely not. Every one of the modalities outlined above are optional, and your experience will be tailored to your specific needs and interests. We are committed to providing a comprehensive and supportive experience for all and nothing is mandatory, including psychedelics.
How do you ensure safety during the guided psilocybin journeys?
Your well-being is our absolute priority. Safety during psilocybin journeys is ensured through a combination of small, carefully considered doses of high-quality mushrooms, a thorough individual screening process, a safe and protected setting in a comfortable, calm environment, and continuous one-on-one guidance and full support from our facilitators throughout the entire experience. We also have clear protocols for navigating any challenging moments, should they arise.
What does a typical guided psilocybin journey with Compassion Retreats involve?
Each journey is unique and therapeutically focused. It begins with dedicated preparation, including guided meditation and intention setting. The experience itself usually takes place lying down comfortably with a sleep mask to encourage introspection. Our facilitators provide gentle guidance and support throughout. Afterwards, ample time is given for rest, reflection, gentle communication if desired, sharing, and integration of your experience. It is a therapeutic experience primarily designed for inner exploration with eyes closed.
What kind of Tantra do you practice, and is it sexual?
We practice classical Tantra, which is deeply rooted in spirituality and the philosophy of self-realization. Our focus is on practices like breathing rituals, conscious touch (non-sexual and always consensual), mindful movement, relational exercises, and energy awareness to foster connection and embodiment. Importantly, no nudity or sexual touch is involved in our general Tantric practices. For couples who specifically wish to explore intimacy practices, we can teach and guide them; however, our facilitators do not participate in any sexual touch. We encourage you to read our detailed
Tantra guide for more information and to address common misconceptions.
What specific results can I expect from a retreat, and what is my role?
We believe true transformation,vlike seeing yourself more clearly or knowing what to do next,vcomes from your own inner wisdom. As such, we don't promise or guarantee any specific results; the journey and its outcomes are deeply personal and up to you. Our role is to be your guides and facilitators. We provide the tools, support, and a safe container for *your* profound work and personal evolution.
How does your "conscious contribution" model for retreat investment work?
Our financial approach is designed for transparency and mutual respect. Essential fixed costs for your accommodation (which you often pay directly to providers), meals, and airport transfers are outlined clearly and covered at cost. Your separate contribution for our facilitation, guidance, and the transformative tools we share is then made by you *after* your retreat. This is based on the personal value you feel you received and your individual capacity. We do provide a suggested range to help guide your contribution, depending on your specific retreat details. You can learn more on our dedicated page explaining
our Conscious Contribution model.
What is the primary goal of a Compassion Retreat?
Our main intention is to assist those who are ready and willing to unlock their inner wisdom, connect with the life source, release the tension of everyday life, disconnect from noise, and find a deeper sense of peace and clarity within themselves.
What is the general atmosphere of your retreats?
The atmosphere we cultivate is gentle, peaceful, calm, and introspective. While the work can be deep, you will be fully supported in a friendly and nurturing environment.
Are your retreats standardized, or are they tailored to individuals?
Our retreats are highly customized. We believe each journey is unique, so we craft each experience individually based on specific intentions and needs.
You mention "spiritual retreats." What does "spiritual" mean in your context?
For us, "spiritual" means fostering a connection to the universal spirit of life, love, and light that resides within all of us. It’s about connecting with your heart center, your purpose, your higher self, and life in general.
Is this retreat right for me?
Our retreats are designed for individuals and couples seeking deep personal transformation. During our discovery call, we'll discuss your specific situation and intentions to ensure we can provide the experience you're looking for and that our approach is a good mutual fit.
