Words from Karen:
The intention our Inner Journey Retreat is to create a sacred and transformative space where participants can reconnect with the essence of unconditional love and a divine source within themselves. Through this profound connection, the aim is to learn how to hold and integrate this love into everyday life, ensuring its presence becomes a constant guide.
By cultivating a safe and supportive environment, we invite you to embrace vulnerability and authentic expression. Together, we will gently explore and illuminate the shadows that reside within—parts often overlooked but deeply interconnected to our physical and emotional bodies. This process encourages the recognition of your wholeness and the inherent connection to all that exists.
Through the use of psychotherapy and spiritual tools, we walk beside you on this journey of integration. This retreat serves as an invitation to open our hearts, nurture healing, and embody the essence of love in every aspect of yourself and your everyday life.

The Science Behind Psylocibin Transformation:
Our unique retreat blends ancient wisdom with the latest advancements in neuroscience. Psilocybin, the active compound in the mushrooms used during the retreat, has been extensively studied for its ability to enhance neural connections, reduce the activity of the brain’s "default mode network," and facilitate profound introspection and healing.
-
Impact on the Brain: Psilocybin activates areas of the brain associated with creativity, emotional connection, and access to non-linear thinking patterns, allowing a renewed perception of oneself and the world.
-
Breaking Limiting Patterns: This compound has the power to dissolve rigid and self-sabotaging patterns, fostering neural plasticity and creating space for new ways of thinking and being.
-
An Integrated Experience: Throughout the retreat, we pair this transformative experience with meditation, mindfulness, and conscious movement practices to integrate the benefits holistically—across the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms.
