Psilocybin Retreats Outcomes for Treating Depression

Our psychedelic retreats bring over 12 years of direct experience, demonstrating the effectiveness of our psilocybin retreat model in treating depression. Combined with spiritual mentoring and the transformative practice of quantum forgiveness, our approach addresses the root causes of emotional suffering.


By blending ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic insights, our retreats provide a safe, supportive environment for deep healing and lasting transformation, empowering participants to overcome depression and embrace a life of peace and fulfillment.


The Facts About Treating Depression with Psilocybin:

  • Our psilocybin-spiritual retreat model, supported by clinical research, provides undeniable evidence of the benefits of Psilocybin Retreats in treating depression.


  • Safety and Tradition: Psilocybin is non-addictive and highly safe, having been used for millennia by shamans in ceremonial settings to heal mental and emotional disorders.


  • Long-Lasting Results: Clinically significant improvements in depression are often maintained for years after the retreat, particularly when combined with spiritual teachings.


  • Tailored Treatment Protocols: Evidence supports the effectiveness of multiple, short-term psilocybin doses.


  • Tailored dosing, customized to each participant’s physical and mental needs, proves more effective than standardized approaches based solely on bodyweight.


  • Group Retreats with Individualized Support: Psilocybin in group therapeutic settings offers a powerful and viable treatment for depression, especially when complemented by personalized mentorship and integration practices.

The Proven Benefits of IchoosePeace Psilocybin-Assisted Retreats for Depression

With over 200 psilocybin retreats and thousands of participants, our psychedelic-assisted therapy model consistently achieves higher levels of positive, lasting outcomes compared to clinical settings and trials for psychedelic therapy. A key component of this transformative process is the spiritual mentoring provided by the shaman, offering guidance and support before, during, and after the retreat to ensure deep and meaningful healing.

Clinically Proven Results

Short-Term Efficacy: One month after their retreat, IchoosePeace clients (n = 2000) experienced a remarkable 60% reduction in depression symptoms. In comparison, Compass Pathways’ Phase 2 study on psilocybin reported a 37.62% reduction three weeks post-treatment (31.9 to 19.9 MADRS score).

Long-Term Benefits

Retreat outcomes remained clinically significant one year later, demonstrating the sustained effectiveness of the IchoosePeace psilocybin-assisted retreat model. Few clinical trials track results over such extended periods, highlighting the potential long-term efficacy of psilocybin therapy.

Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment

When combined with spiritual practices, psilocybin therapy helps participants access a state of unchangeable, permanent peace, which is a fundamental prerequisite for enlightenment.

The Power of Tailored Dosing Protocols

Our approach recognizes that one-size-fits-all dosing does not suit everyone. The IchoosePeace protocol customizes psilocybin doses based on each participant’s unique physical and mental needs:


Session 1: Average dose of betwteen 1.5g to 2.5g.

Session 2: Average dose of 2 to 4g.


Tailored dosing has proven more effective than standardized protocols, maximizing the benefits of psilocybin for each individual.

A Holistic Group Therapy Model

IchoosePeace retreats offer group psychedelic-assisted therapy, fostering community healing while maintaining individual guidance before the retreat, during and after (on weely zoom meeting). Each retreat hosts up to 9 participants, with a facilitator-to-client, ensuring personalized care during sessions and integration.

Real-World Population and Comorbidities

Unlike clinical trials that often exclude individuals with co-occurring conditions, IchoosePeace clients represent a more accurate real-world population. Participants often seek treatment for depression alongside anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance use disorders, and other mental illnesses. This makes our outcomes especially relevant to those in need of comprehensive therapeutic intervention.

Retreat Structure: Preparation, Dosing, and Integration

Our 5-day & 9-day psilocybin-assisted retreat programs includes:


Preparation: Clients are prepared for their psilocybin experiences to ensure safety and readiness.


Psilocybin Dosing Sessions: Two to three sessions spaced over alternating days using encapsulated Psilocybe cubensis cultivated in Peru.


Integration Practices: Group integration sessions between dosing days and weekly Zoom integration meetings post-retreat.


The escalating dosing protocol allows participants to adapt gradually, ensuring optimal therapeutic benefits.

However, Ananda (the Self-realized mentor) has more than 12 years of experience in psilocybin ceremonies and retreats, and surveys reveal that positive outcomes last and doesn't come back to previous mind anxiety, especially when paired with continued integration, spiritual mentorship, and quantum forgiveness practices.
