Psilocybin mushrooms have been a part of the human story since the dawn of civilization, with the earliest documented evidence of ritual use dating back nearly 12,000 years. Indeed, the healing power of the mushroom has been known for millennia but has gained more recent favor in the scientific community with compelling research from institutions like Harvard and Johns Hopkins showing, for example, the overwhelmingly positive effects of psilocybin on depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD.
While a journey with psilocybin can go just about as deep as one wants to go, mushrooms are generally considered a very "friendly" medicine. Compared to other plant medicines like Ayahuasca, which is often accompanied by physical purging, mushrooms offer a gentler access point to mystical states of consciousness while still creating ample opportunities for deep work. Even with lighter doses, the spiritual insights and transcendental experiences that come to us from the mushroom are nothing short of profound.
We believe that healing can only happen in an environment of safety, respect, and trust. Our aim is allow you the space to journey as deep as you want to go - or not - with the unwavering support of a present and loving team.
We host our retreats with a few different partner retreat centers in the area depending on the season and availability. All of our venues are thoroughly vetted for safety, comfort, and conductivity for sacred medicine work. Please request a discovery call to see where your preferred retreat dates will be facilitated.
Whether you are in a private villa by the ocean or in one of our eco-friendly retreat centers, you can be assured that you will be surrounded by peaceful nature. Enjoy lakes, hiking trails, beautiful hidden beaches, or the country side in our vast and welcoming locations, perfect for reflective walks.
Rest assured that all of our retreat centers sit in the middle of expansive and beautiful wild nature. Rooms are cozy, bright and sunny, and there is ample space to sit, read, mediate, journal, or just be. You will be hosted with care and hospitality in modern private rooms with double beds and ensuites.
Living in harmony with nature is the driving force at our retreat centers, being as sustainable and eco-conscious as possible. The vibrant and flavorful cuisine is vegetarian with Ayurveda influences and is sourced from local and organic producers in the area who practice the same philosophy of eco-friendly, sustainable, and organic (or from their own garden).
We understand that creating a long-lasting life transformations is not always as simple as just attending a retreat, no matter how amazing it may be. When the retreat ends and we return to "normal life", it can be very easy to get pulled back into our old habits. For this, Behold Retreats offers an immersive 7-Week Coaching program to turn your retreat experience into the first chapter of your new life's story. Our 1-on-1 coaching program will empower you to:

Hear first hand what a life-changing experience a Behold retreat can be from our past participants.
I loved our facilitators Sara and Migueleon, their support, kindness, patience and awareness made this trip very special and truly transformative to me. Integration, yoga and breathing activities were very well thought of. The Food at the Monte Velho retreat was just outstanding!Loved all the preparation and integration activities from deep breathing and sharing circles to yoga and meditation. Other activities were also very welcomed such as colouring, massage treatment and steam and sauna. The food was very good so perhaps next time some cooking classes would be lovely to have too!
First and foremost I can’t thank Sara & Migueleon enough. They made me feel safe and all times. They were always there supporting me whenever I needed them.They really went out of their way at times and assured me that they were always there whenever I needed them. I’ve been at the retreat for a week, and I really feel great, relaxed. I haven’t felt like this in a very long time. I will use all the techniques and meditations they have taught me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was a life changing experience, and I would highly recommend everyone to do it.
Amazing experience overall. Had complete confidence and trust in both facilitators. The accommodations were beautiful. Would have appreciated some options for walking paths but the facilitators did lead us on a few walks which were amazing. It would have been helpful to have maps for individual adventuring too.
The preparation and pre-ceremony communications were outstanding. I went into both ceremonies feeling well prepared emotionally and very supported. Both Migueleon and Sara made the journey very safe and very informative.
