A 12-week journey designed to support lasting transformation
This experience is for those ready to slow down, soften, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and embrace a more aligned, wholehearted life.
The Reconnection Journey
Every guest is screened through a detailed intake process including a medical and psychological history form and a 1:1 call with a member of the team to ensure the retreat is both safe and aligned with where you are in your journey. This includes a careful review of mental health history, current medications, and other relevant factors.
01. Screening
The journey begins six weeks before we gather in person. During this time you’ll be supported to prepare through introspection and guided practices. This includes 1:1 support, on-demand psychoeducation, journaling prompts, an online group welcome call, and somatic sessions designed to help you drop into your body and release layers of stress and tension, creating a foundation of safety, openness, and connection before we meet on retreat.
02. Preparation
Step away from the demands of daily life and enter a space of rest, healing, and transformation. The retreat builds upon the group practices introduced during preparation, bringing the body fully into your healing journey. The ceremony itself is held as a sacred act of reconnection - to the body, to the Earth, and to the wisdom that lives within. Held in sisterhood and surrounded by support, this space invites you to soften, to be witnessed, and to remember that healing was never meant to happen alone.
03. Retreat Experience
You will be held through integration calls, and online group somatic practices, gently supporting your transition back into everyday life. The sense of connection continues beyond the retreat through a shared online community - a living thread of community and support that continues long after the retreat ends. For those called to deepen their journey of reconnection, we offer a further psilocybin experience through The Deepening Retreat, and we’re always here to offer 1:1 support as your path continues to unfold.
04. Integration
A Fully Supportive 3-Month Programme
The Reconnection is a three-month journey consisting of preparation, an in-person retreat, and integration.
Over the first six weeks, you’ll be supported with educational materials, reflective practices, group calls, and one-to-one support to help you prepare - emotionally, mentally, and physically.
The five-day retreat offers an opportunity to come together to rest, release, and reconnect through movement, psilocybin ceremony, and community.
In the weeks that follow, the integration process helps you bring insights into daily life through ongoing support, sharing circles, somatic practices, and continued community. Taken together, these stages form an arc of care, inviting transformation that is embodied and lasting.

Why We Work With Psilocybin
Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, is a sacred medicine. For centuries, Indigenous cultures across the world have worked with psilocybin-containing mushrooms in their healing and spiritual practices. Today the Western world is beginning to recognise what these traditions have long known: that psilocybin holds profound potential to support our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.
Important Safety Information
The Reconnection is a wellness group programme, not a medical or clinical intervention. It is intended for women in stable physical and mental health. While our work is trauma-informed, it is not a substitute for trauma therapy or psychiatric treatment.
Contraindications
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept people with:
Serious cardiovascular conditions (e.g. uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent heart attack, stroke)
Neurological conditions such as epilepsy
A history of psychosis, bipolar disorder, or untreated complex PTSD
Certain medications such as antipsychotics or lithium. SSRIs may be considered in low doses, depending on individual circumstances
If you’re unsure whether this retreat is suitable for you, please reach out. We’re happy to discuss your individual situation in more detail. You can also read more about the benefits and risks of psilocybin here.
A Note on Outcomes
Psilocybin can be a profound catalyst for insight and transformation, but it is not a quick fix or guaranteed solution. Most research to date has taken place in controlled clinical settings, which differ from retreat environments. While many participants experience lasting benefits, outcomes vary and the process of integration after the experience is key to sustaining change.
Our intention is to create a space of possibility, where healing, insight, and reconnection can emerge in their own way, in their own time.
Optional Personalised Women’s Health Support
Honouring the Intelligence of the Female Body
As part of our holistic and integrative approach to preparation and integration, we offer the opportunity for an optional consultation with a UK-based GP specialising in women’s health and hormones.
This can be helpful if you are navigating:
The changes of perimenopause such as; brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, headaches, a dip in confidence, weight gain, changes in hair or skin, or loss of libido
The transitions of menopause - hot flushes, night sweats, restless sleep etc
Irregular cycles or painful periods
Fertility issues that feel unexplained or challenging
Ongoing fatigue or low energy
Emotional ebbs and flows that feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of
It’s a chance to receive personalised support so you feel resourced as you step into your retreat, and holistically held on the other side.
