🦋 From Trip to Transformation
Ceremonia is one of USA’s fastest growing legal and non-profit psilocybin 🍄 and ayahuasca 🌿 spiritual centers conveniently located near Denver, Colorado. And we are so much more.
Hundreds of alumni – from teachers to top CEOs, from renowned therapists to psychedelic leaders – have shared that their journey with Ceremonia is more than a trip… it is a transformation.
When you join a 3- or 5-day spiritual retreat, you will feel the most important ingredients for safety through cutting-edge experiential workshops: your inner power to meet any challenge, a loving family you will laugh, cry, and celebrate with; and guidance by world-class facilitators.
Imagine what is possible when you enter a sacred psilocybin 🍄 and ayahuasca 🌿 ceremony when you feel the most safe, confident, and loved you have ever felt – the results are extraordinary.
🌱 Deep & Durable Change
True transformation extends beyond the retreat; it permeates every aspect of your life thereafter. A psychedelic experience is pointless unless you can meaningfully impact your relationships, purpose, and peacefulness in your life.
At Ceremonia, you'll engage in workshops informed by neuroscience, psychotherapy, and mindfulness where you will learn the skills to meet authentic self with greater curiosity, compassion, courage, and connection. These seeds of self-empowerment, enhance your inner sense of safety, amplifying the power of our traditional plant sacrament ceremonies. These skills and the inner knowing that you are the source of all change unlocks the potential for not just a profound experience, but lasting change.
Your journey with us is supported every step of the way by our dedicated community. After the retreat, join us for regular integration circles and engage with our AI-supported platform to continue applying your new insights to daily life challenges. This ongoing support helps ensure that the seeds of transformation sown during your retreat grow into enduring personal and spiritual growth, fostering a life of deeper fulfillment and understanding.
🛡️ Safe & Legal
Your physical, mental, spiritual, and legal safety is of paramount priority.
Physical: our psychiatric nurse practitioner reviews your comprehensive health intake form, ensuring we're aware of your unique health profile. Our ceremony team is not only deeply caring but medically trained.
Mental: We're honored to have some of the world's top therapists and facilitators, each with trauma-informed training and rich psychotherapeutic backgrounds. Their expertise provides a secure space for you to explore and heal.
Spiritually: We believe that spirituality is a deeply personal experience, something that can only be felt and not impressed upon others. Our approach is rooted in non-dogma and self-empowerment. At Ceremonia, you will unburden your protective layers so that you can reconnect with your authentic self, tapping into your own inner wisdom and the profound sense of peace that accompanies true spiritual connection.
Legal: Ceremonia operates legally at both the state and federal level. We are a recognized and legal non-profit spiritual center in Colorado, operating within the state's Natural Medicine Health Act. Additionally, Ceremonia is protected under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, granting the right to use sacraments as part of our spiritual practice in a non-dogmatic manner.

Our Process
Ceremonia is so much more than a psychedelic experience. We believe that deep and durable change is enhanced through community and self-empowerment.
📘 Preparation
Upon joining Ceremonia, you are paired with an alumnus who understands firsthand the rollercoaster of emotions and questions you might have. They will be your introduction into the vibrant alumni community that has all been where you have.
You will practice the most advanced psychospiritual tools at home with an AI-assisted online course, where you will learn the secrets of how to surface and be with long suppressed emotions. By the time you join us at our legal and beautiful sanctuary just 40 minutes from Denver Airport, you will already feel courage, confidence, and connection to meet the deepest corners of your heart.
🧘 Retreat
At Ceremonia, each retreat is meticulously designed to ensure a profound and enriching experience. During your stay, you'll engage in experiential workshops based on the latest mindfulness, authentic relating, psychotherapy, and psychospiritual techniques. These workshops are tailored to cultivate self-awareness, enhance interpersonal connections, and facilitate deep psychological insights. You'll discover how to navigate your inner landscape through guided practices that integrate your intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.
Surrounded by the serene beauty of our sanctuary, you will find each day rich with opportunities for personal growth and transformation. The blend of structured activities and free time allows for reflection and relaxation, ensuring that the insights and shifts experienced during the workshops can be fully absorbed and appreciated. This supportive environment is key to fostering the inner safety needed for profound transformation, setting the stage for the powerful ceremonial experiences with psilocybin or ayahuasca that anchor the Ceremonia retreat experience.
🔗 Integration
After your transformative journey with Ceremonia, the real work begins – integrating those profound insights into your daily life. This is not a path you walk alone. At Ceremonia, you're becoming part of a family: a lifelong community that understands, supports, and grows with you.
After the retreat, you will meet online or at our sanctuary in Colorado every Sunday, where we hold integration circles. These gatherings are a sacred space for sharing your journey, challenges, and breakthroughs. Led by skilled facilitators, these circles help you anchor your experiences from the psychedelic journeys into your daily life, ensuring that the seeds of transformation planted during your time with us continue to grow.
These weekly meetings are complemented by our AI-supported integration platform, designed to offer personalized guidance and support tailored to your unique journey. Through interactive modules, reflective exercises, and community discussions, you'll find practical ways to apply the insights gained during your life-changing experience in retreat to your relationships, work, and spiritual practices.

Couldn’t be more thankful. I Journeyed here two times. I did the 3 day open. Then came back for the awaken 5 day. All I can say is the 3 day saved my life, and the 5 day showed me how to live it. The support group of like-minded people is absolutely amazing. You’re not alone.
Hi, my name is Ashley and I am a Ceremonia alumni from about a year ago (journey 7), and I returned for journey 8. My husband originally found Ceremonia online after being so concerned about the severe dark night of the soul I was in. I was at the end of my rope and needed some serious help. Instantly, I understood from my heart that I needed to go. So, with husband in tow, we attended a five day intensive together. We both agree, a year later, that it’s been life changing for us as individuals, as well as a couple. We have learned and grown so much, and stay close to our Ceremonia family. We found our tribe there, and it’s been hugely helpful for us all. Austin talked about doing church on Sunday last year, and followed through! We have been attending since the first service, and it’s been invaluable!
Austin and Chu Chu are rare soul’s that have the ability, and capacity, to blend the best of the medicine world, current psychology, and high tech. They are the full package, the real deal, that truly care to help each and every soul that comes for help.
The Ceremonia house is magical, and they freely share it with all who enter. All of this so hard to describe, because there is SO much there… It really is an experience!
If you want to give yourself a gift of a lifetime, you will get it here! If you have questions from someone who has had the full experience, I am happy to answer all questions truthfully. It’s not necessary an easy road, but one that is well worth it! Blessings ♥️🙏🌈
