Frequently Asked Questions
What is a retreat experience like?
Our retreat is an intimate, unique, personalised experience designed to help you reconnect with your authentic self and nature’s cycles. You’ll enjoy daily holistic treatments, yoga, conscious breathing and meditation along with nourishing organic meals and plenty of time for self-reflection, long walks, and gorgeous cleansing waters. A key feature of all the retreat is our Psilocybin Mushroom Ceremony, which offers reawakening of your creativity and deep spiritual healing.
Why are the treatments essential for healing?
The treatments are a vital part of your healing journey, as they address pain, realign your body, restore energy flow and help release emotional and physical imbalances. Our osteopathy, Shiatsu, and energy work sessions are designed to promote deep relaxation and vitality, allowing you to experience a profound sense of well-being and harmony.
Who are the therapists?
At The Conscious Evolution Healing Retreat, our dedicated therapists are committed to supporting your healing journey with their unique skills and compassionate care.
Yvan Colacicco is an osteopath with extensive training, using osteopathic tools, including cranial sacral, visceral, and parietal techniques, to address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. His approach helps clients achieve deep healing and restore balance.
Chari Lopez Robles is a dedicated bodyworker specialising in Shiatsu, a therapeutic practice that promotes balance and relaxation through gentle pressure on the body’s energy points. Her sessions are a very grounding treatment, making them a special treat on ceremony mornings. With a focus on deep healing and energetic alignment, Chari creates a safe and nurturing space for individuals to reconnect with their bodies and spirits.
What is the difference between Microdosing and Macrodosing?
Microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual amounts of psilocybin mushrooms on a regular schedule, often every few days. The goal is not to experience noticeable psychedelic effects but to subtly enhance focus, creativity, emotional balance, and overall well-being. It’s often used as a tool for improving daily functioning and fostering a sense of clarity and presence.
Macrodosing, on the other hand, refers to taking a larger, perceptual dose of psilocybin mushrooms. This is intended to facilitate deep personal growth, emotional healing, and profound insights. A macrodose can lead to a powerful experience that allows for emotional release, self-reflection, and a deeper connection to oneself and the world.
At the retreat, we focus on macrodosing, providing a safe and supportive environment to guide you through an experience that promotes emotional healing, self-discovery, and inner growth.
Who is the facilitator?
Claire Fitzmaurice: As the Facilitator, Personal Growth Coach, and Yoga Teacher at The Conscious Evolution Healing Retreat, Claire is passionate about holistic wellness and personal growth. With a 200-hour yoga teacher training and a special interest in Yin and QiYoga, she’s all about helping you reconnect with your authentic self. Claire uses her expertise in yoga, conscious breathing, and meditation to guide you through your journey, focusing on stress relief and nervous system regulation. She’s available throughout the retreat to listen, chat, and support you as you navigate your path.
