“I would not go anywhere else for a plant medicine retreat after experiencing the level of care and attention to detail at Reunion.”

The combination of incredible programming, the beautiful location, the ancient wisdom, and the kindness and authenticity of Reunion transported me to a place where I could be with others who were perhaps searching for some increase in awareness, healing, and evolving in what it means to be human - just like myself.
My experience was transformative. It was really a rebirth for me starting from the moment that we received directives and how to prepare for the program. Throughout my journey, I could feel the depth of what was happening and I think the increased awareness about the strength of prayer and how ritual can inform every aspect of one's life and also create a path through life are the things that impacted me most. The insights gained from the movement sessions to talking with the other participants and learning about their lives, the ceremonies and the medicine, the singing, the dancing, making our own altars and the power of that creative act. I would recommend this program to anybody who's interested in evolving or interested in contributing to the work of becoming better human beings. I would recommend it to those who are in need of healing and haven't been able to find what that they need.
I was at a transition point in my life between jobs. I had been on a journey for the last three or four years to get to know myself better and to become the best version of myself that I could be. I'd always wanted to work with psilocybin so I took the plunge and it was definitely well worth it. I am taking away a new sense of how to live my life and how to serve others. I am taking away how to be open, authentic, vulnerable, and proud of who I am with a new joy for life, and respect for nature. I didn’t realize what an appreciation I had for authentic, service-oriented people who want to improve their lives in real ways. It's been a remarkable experience. I've never felt joy like this in a long time.
Reunion was beautiful. The food was nourishing and healthy. The bodywork has completely changed my knees. I had trouble walking before I got here and after my bodywork sessions my knees are so much more flexible. The way the Facilitators conducted the ceremonies brought us on a journey that opened our eyes, our hearts, and our souls in ways I can’t describe. In our group, we came as individuals, but left as family.
What brought me to Reunion was I'd been facing a little bit of a turbulent time over the past few years and I didn't really know what to do. I was a little bit lost and confused and I thought this would be a great first deep dive into finding what was next with my transition. My experience is honestly hard to describe in words. It was a beautiful journey and it's something that I will remember and hold on to for a long time. It was restorative and regenerative - everything I really needed and I really enjoyed my time. I'm excited to integrate my learnings into my regular everyday life, especially the connection that I felt with nature.
I would recommend the journey to anyone who's going through a major life transition. I’d been a top level athlete for the last nine years of my life and as that chapter of my personal life comes to a close, I needed help dealing with that. This experience has helped me take time to myself to think, reconnect, and process this closing chapter and open the next.
What brought me to the program was I was hungry for a breakthrough in my life. Like a lot of people with the pandemic, I experienced a lot of fear and a lot of burnout. I was looking for a greater sense of meaning and peace. It’s hard to find the words to describe my experience. I can say for certain that it's everything I asked for and more. There was a deep sense of spirituality which was so important to me in the program. I didn't want to do something recreational. I wanted to do something that incorporated indigenous practices. There is wisdom that is older than any of us and I wanted to honor that and I felt like it was honored.
I'm leaving with greater sense of clarity in my life, a sense of purpose in some ways. I feel like the work has just begun and that the plant ceremonies were the kind of wonderful kicking off point and now I get to do all the fun stuff. I'd recommend Reunion to anyone who's truly seeking healing. In some ways it will call to you and you will know when it's right for you. There's a timing to it. Listen to yourself, take the time to reflect on the program and you will see that this experience is calling to you. Don't hesitate, answer the call now.
I am so grateful for Mastery: Level 2. Elevate: Level 1 was just the tip of the iceberg for me, the start of really seeing what my life could be. The reality, not just the dream. I’ve made changes in my life that I never could have imagined. I’ve learned to trust, forgive, and mend relationships with family and friends. I’m so blessed to have met all of the group and I continue to stay connected to so many of them that have supported me throughout my journey. It’s never too late to start over, and healing the past finally allowed me to break free from it. As hard as it was to finally “feel,” I would do it all again to be where I am now.
