FAQs

Why do we use 5-MeO-DMT over other psychedelics?
We work with 5-MeO-DMT specifically because the temporary dissolution of the sense of subjective self seems to allow for the most effective ways for deep and transformational shifts to be achieved during the process.
What is the environment that I will be taking 5-MeO-DMT in?
You will be seated on a comfy pad with two professional facilitators with you. This environment is designed to allow you to fully release and surrender into the experience, it is important that you feel safe and trust the people that will be keeping you safe. Extensive preparation will be granted to you before your experience, however, it is very rare to feel completely ready. Bravery is a key component of any hero’s journey and is always part of a growth process.
Will there be other people with me while I am in the experience?
You will only be accompanied by our trained facilitators who are there to keep you safe. You are allowed to invite anyone you would like who is present at the center to be present during your journey, but that is of course up to you.
How do I know if this retreat is right for me?
You will have several consultation calls with our specialists before you attend our retreat. In those chats, you will get a better idea of who our methods are suited for, and how we will be personalizing your experience based on your story. If our specialists believe you are not suited for our offering they will let you know explicitly and offer a full refund.
How many people will be at the retreat?
Up to 6 other people, not including staff. We keep our sizes small so that each guest can be properly attended to. Having others who are going through the same thing as you can  be very helpful in integrating your experience. Many guests stay in contact long after the retreat is over because of the bonds they form during their retreat.
Are there after-effects of the medicine?
Neuroplasticity is a well-documented side effect of many psychedelic medicines. This is helpful for our goal of transforming our habits into something more conducive to an enriched life experience. One unique after-effect of 5meo is the ability to observe our behavior from a much more objective point of view, a perspective more in tune with the new understanding of reality that 5meo brings. For example, let’s say you experience some anger or frustration in traffic on your way home from the airport. You may recognize yourself being emotionally affected by these variables outside of your control, you may take a moment longer to dig into those feelings and find that they are rooted in beliefs that you no longer feel to be true. identifying these areas (or triggers) that cause us to lose perspective, digging to the root of the issue, taking advantage of your newfound perspective, and your integration practices will help you address these triggers as they come up. Fixing the problems at the source. The 5-MeO-DMT experience in some ways allows you to rebuild yourself to be the person you want to be. Reactivations can also occur in approximately 15-20% of participants, which can be anything from a slight glimmer of the initial experience to a full endogenous 5-MeO-DMT experience. If they happen it will generally be within the first few nights of your initial experience and will usually occur at night between 2-4 AM.
What are the rooms / living areas like?
King-sized bed, shelf space, drawers, hangers, and bedside tables, Wifi, Natural light, view of the mountains.
How does the daily schedule look?
Mornings begin with a gentile practice involving stretching, breathwork, and meditation. This is followed by a delicious breakfast enjoyed by the stunning mountain views. Medicine ceremonies are generally done in the late morning, or else there is lunch around noon, with free time in the mid-afternoon, followed by integrative practices, satsangs, and dinner. Most of your time here will be spent doing whatever you want while you integrate your experiences with 5-MeO-DMT. You may choose to go on a hike, explore town, swim, hang out and talk, journal, read, etc, etc… We like to keep it loose while still providing some sense of structure for our more punctual guests.
What are our safety protocols?
We begin your container with a medical and psychological screening/intake, this allows us to know that we can safely move forward with your process without harming you in any way. Your safety is our primary concern, all of our practitioners are certified first-aid responders and are ready to handle any emergency if it should arrive, though we have not had to utilize this in all of our years in practice. We have local medical professionals on site in case of emergency as well.
What is a container?
Container is the word we use to describe the space your experience will be held in, this includes your preparation before arrival, your experiences here at the center, and all the different tools we may use, as well as your integration after you return home to your daily life. We use the word container because it implies a sense of safety and separation from regular life, a chance to be vulnerable, and even allow yourself to work on the shadow side of your character (if need be). Many aspects of “the container” are individually chosen to fit your needs, which we start prepping for during our first few calls.
Is food provided?
Yes, all of your needs will be met at our retreats. We have an excellent chef and all the other accommodations that you may need. Let it be our job to take care of you, your job is to take up space, ask for help, be vulnerable, and welcome positive transformation.
What are lenses and frameworks?
Lenses and frameworks are different ways of being able to communicate and understand an abstract concept, the 5-MeO experience is beyond what the mind can conceive, thus mythological or philosophical structures can be used to express the landscape of the experience.
Is all of this legal?
We keep all operations above board and only operate in areas where 5-MeO-DMT is not scheduled as an illegal substance.
