Small, Intimate Groups

We intentionally limit group sizes to 6-11 participants to ensure maximum individual attention. Our guest-to-facilitator ratio is among the lowest in the field, allowing for deep customization at every stage of the experience for your Psychedelic Therapy retreat.

Integration & Ongoing Support

Designed For Lasting Change

A different kind of retreat experience.

Before any ceremony takes place, you will be welcomed by the full Behold team, introduced to the facilitators and Shaman, oriented to the land, and given time to settle in and a full night’s rest.

Small, Intentionally Curated Groups

Each retreat is limited to 11 or less participants, allowing for personal attention as well as a deep connection between the participants themselves. Many keep in touch years after their experience.

All-Inclusive, Freshly Prepared Vegan Meals

Daily meals are freshly prepared using high-quality, nourishing ingredients that support physical wellbeing, digestion, and energetic balance throughout the retreat process.

High-End Accommodations in Serene Natural Settings

Guests stay in beautiful, comfortable accommodations selected for privacy, tranquility, and connection back to nature. The use of electronic devices are highly discouraged and we lovingly encourage you to prioritize yourself during this pivotal time.

Traditional Ceremonies Led by Experienced Shamans

Our ceremonies are grounded in traditional ways of holding space held by Indigenous-trained medicine men/women. We honor lineages rooted in Peruvian and Brazilian practices (depending on ceremony location). At every retreat location, live icaros (ceremony songs) are beautifully woven throughout the duration of the psychedelic ceremony, creating an immersive and strong awakening experience.

Peaceful Landscapes & Daily Time in Nature

All retreat locations are surrounded by serene natural environments, with opportunities for daily walks or hikes that support grounding, integration, and nervous system regulation.

Movement, Yoga, Breathwork, Somatic Practices

Gentle yoga, movement, and breathwork are offered to help participants stay connected to their physical experience throughout the retreat. Growth loves movement and we are here to shed belief systems and move through them. At Behold, all physical levels are welcomed. Come as you are and move into the new you.

Optional Massage & Bodywork

Professional massage and bodywork services are available to support relaxation, integration, and physical recovery during the retreat. Some guests relish in the physical relaxations, others prefer to remain alone with their thoughts. Both are perfectly perfect and we are here to be of guidance.

Who Are Psychedelic Retreats For

A holistic healing experience designed for those ready for cognitive expansion and mental health longevity.

A Good Fit If You're:

  • Seeking healing from past experiences such as trauma, PTSD, or anxiety.

  • Feeling called to deepen your self-awareness, expand your level of consciousness, or explore what else is possible beyond your current belief patterns within your Default Mode Network (DMN).

  • Ready to take your mental, emotional, or spiritual wellbeing to the next level through intentional inner work.

  • Ready to remove a "block" from your life in order to transition into your next level.

  • Ready and willing to fully engage in your life and meet your purpose and potential.

May Not Be a Fit If You're:

  • Approaching this work recreationally or out of impulse rather than intention.

  • Unwilling to follow preparation guidelines, dieta, or facilitator guidance.

  • Looking for quick fixes, guaranteed outcomes, or transformation without personal responsibility.

The Behold Process

Our process designed to support you before, during, and after your retreat.

Share your intentions, background, and readiness for the work and growth.

Speak directly with a Medicine Guide to ask your questions (yes, all of them are welcome!), discuss your hesitations, and receive personalized guidance. This is where we both understand your eligibility for an invitation. There will be no pressure or selling involved, in fact it will be the opposite.

Ensure physical and psychological readiness to participate safely.

From the moment you book, you are paired with a dedicated Guest Services team member who will support you throughout your entire journey. This includes one-to-one check-in sessions, guidance through medical clearance and preparation, and ongoing support leading up to the retreat. Your Guest Services contact is available to you at any time, offering continuity, reassurance, and a clear point of contact whenever questions or concerns arise.

Arrive grounded and supported as you begin your guided retreat experience with us.

Receive continued integration support and access to our Alumni community to help translate insights into lasting, meaningful change in your life.
