3 day Winter Solstice Mushroom Retreat near Barcelona, Spain

A two night retreat in a beautiful guest house in an isolated valley of the pre-Pyrenees. The retreat is designed to disconnect you from your screens and the hurly-burly of your day-to-day life and re-connect you to the felt presence of your body and its place in the natural environment.

We will do various activities with the intention of bringing you home to the ease of being embodied. These will include yoga, sound massages, vocalisations and drumming. All meals will be prepared together in order to foster group cohesion.

These activities will also help to prepare you for the mushroom ceremony that will take place on the second day. The ceremony will be held in a carefully prepared space, and you will be accompanied on your psychedelic journey by experienced guides who will keep the ceremony unfolding organically with the help of traditional instruments and song.

There will be an integration circle the next day and a follow up video-call a week or so later to support you in your continuing integration.

Throughout the ages the Winter Solstice has been a resonant moment in the cycle of the seasons. It is the moment when the Earth’s tilt away from the Sun is at its maximum giving rise to the shortest day and the longest night. It represents the dying back of nature and is naturally greeted with stillness, interiority, and reflectiveness. However, it also contains a promise and a seed. The promise that the light will return, that everything has its season and that what appears under the guise of death is, in reality, just a moment in a larger cycle. The seed is the intention that we place at this moment and this is what makes the winter solstice such a propitious moment to connect with the mushrooms and create an intention that will resonate over the coming year.
