EXPAND - Curated Retreat Experience

Overview

Usher in 2022 with the ultimate gift of self-love, a Psychedelic mushroom retreat designed especially for you, featuring the most nourishing and healing elements that we offer. About Jamaica: The idyllic beaches and tropical climes go without saying, but probe beyond the limited narrative which surround Jamaica and you’ll learn of a land of spiritual upliftment, courage, strength and unification. Nelson Mandela once described Jamaica as “A land full of prophets and prophetesses,” not surprising given its place in history as the origin for some of the world’s greatest change-makers, Queen Nanny, Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley to name but a few. Azure waters, balmy trade winds and white sand… immerse yourself in Jamaica and you soon start to forget to desire anything which isn’t vibrating on the frequency of your highest self. The noise falls away and clarity will emerge.
