43 | Considering a Psychedelic Therapy Retreat?

For those who seek, psychedelic journey work has the expansive potential to help you meet your truest self. The part of you that sits behind emotions, thoughts, experiences, job titles, and identities. We call this the Self. And it’s from the seat of the Self that true healing and awakening can begin. Licensed therapist, Clare Johnson, and licensed nurse practitioner, Nick Baker, are both certified psychedelic guides working in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Today, they’re back on The Current to discuss their upcoming psychedelic retreat: a 6-day experience in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest in March 2024. The retreat will take place at an eco-luxury sanctuary for legal plant medicine ceremonies situated on 200 private acres of lush, verdant land. The entire property is fed by the largest waterfall in Costa Rica, the Diamante Falls.
