FAQS

No, The Reconnection is not a clinical therapy programme. However, it is grounded in best practices in psychedelic care, trauma-informed facilitation, and ethical space holding. Many guests choose to have additional support from an existing therapist or healthcare provider as part of preparation and ongoing integration.

Psilocybin mushrooms are decriminalised in Portugal for personal use. We operate with transparency, care, and discretion in alignment with the current legal landscape. Our retreats are private, by-application gatherings centred around self-inquiry, personal development, and healing.

Not at all. Many of our participants are new to psychedelics. You’ll be gently guided and supported throughout the entire process—from preparation to ceremony to integration.

Certain medications are not compatible with psilocybin, including:

• TCAs and MAOIs

• Antipsychotics

• Lithium

• SSRIs may be considered in low doses, depending on individual circumstances

That said, some feel more physically grounded and emotionally resourced during the follicular phase (days 6–14), when oestrogen levels are rising.

To protect the integrity and safety of the group container, we require all participants to be present for the entire duration of the in-person retreat.

We can assist with coordinating shared transfers to the retreat venue. Final logistics (e.g., booking flights or individual transport) are your responsibility, but we’re here to support you with planning.

The retreat takes place in the quiet hills of Portugal—surrounded by forest, sky, and stillness. The natural setting offers a deeply restorative space for slowing down, reconnecting, and attuning to the rhythm of the Earth.

Each meal is vibrant, plant-based, and prepared with care and love. Colourful, seasonal dishes nourish both body and soul. If you have any dietary needs or intolerances, please let us know and we will happily accommodate.
