Psilocybin Mushroom Sessions in Guatemala
Experience the wisdom of sacred mushrooms in a safe, guided container. Break through limiting patterns, gain fresh perspectives, and access profound healing through this ancient Mesoamerican medicine.
What Are Psilocybin Mushrooms?
Psilocybin mushrooms, often called 'magic mushrooms' or simply 'hongos sagrados' (sacred mushrooms), have been used ceremonially in Mesoamerica for thousands of years. Indigenous Mazatec curanderas like the famous María Sabina worked with these mushrooms for healing, divination, and spiritual communion.
Modern research has confirmed what indigenous healers always knew: psilocybin can be profoundly healing for depression, anxiety, addiction, and existential distress. It offers many of the therapeutic benefits of longer plant medicine journeys—emotional release, pattern recognition, perspective shifts—but in a shorter, more manageable timeframe.
🍄 The Psilocybin Experience
Psilocybin sessions typically last 4-6 hours, making them shorter than Ayahuasca, which could last up to 8 hours, but longer than most therapeutic sessions. After consuming the mushrooms (we use capsules), you'll rest comfortably in a darkened, quiet space and, if weather permits, you'll alternate to a serene outdoor setting.
Effects begin within 20-45 minutes. You may experience visual patterns with eyes closed, enhanced emotions, deep insights, or a sense of interconnection with all things. The medicine tends to amplify whatever is present in your psyche, this is why we emphasize intention-setting and creating a supportive environment.
Throughout your journey, a trained facilitator remains present, holding space and offering support as needed. Music is carefully curated to support your process.
Many people cry, laugh, or experience profound realizations about themselves and their lives.
