Our Sacred Mushroom Retreats offer active Psanctuary members an opportunity to commune with the sacrament in a safe, supported and legal setting. All fees and donations associated with our retreats are for housing, meals and coaching services. There are no fees associated with the sacrament itself. Sacrament is always gifted during these services from God and the church.
Preparation for your encounter with the sacrament begins in the weeks prior to your retreat. Group retreats are five nights, over 6 days long and offer two sacrament communions.
Through Psanctuary's More Than Integration coaching support program you will have access to group zoom coaching for at least two weeks before and 2 weeks after your sacrament service. We encourage first time participants in a sacred mushroom service to participate in our eight week program but this is not required.
The More Than Integration program is designed to further educate members about the sacrament but more importantly, to develop a mind set that will help them make the most out of their work with the sacred mushroom. By participating in this group coaching program, participants are able to connect further with their fellow community members before and after their service. Research and experience shows clearly that the mystical experience combined with community support is how we make the most out of communion with sacred mushrooms.
