    About the Retreat:

    A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

    The road to self-discovery and well-being starts with our choice to heal. To say yes to ourselves. To know that we are worthy of all the love, joy, beauty & goodness that life has to offer. 

    Here at Aurum Retreats, we create spiritual sanctuaries for your deepest transformation. With a Farm to Ceremony approach, we are a holistic mushroom retreat offering high-dose psilocybin experiences along with other supportive plants like Kanna, Blue Lotus, and healing teas.

    Aurum offers a unique, nausea-free blend of psilocybin that aids in a smoother journey, allowing participants to fully focus on their healing process. From the finest organic materials to cultivate our medicine, to the intentionality and energy behind the people who are growing it, we believe that quality counts at every step. 

    Fueled by a vision of balanced living, Aurum also provides a range of non-substance healing modalities, including breathwork, sound healing, meditations, and energy work. We also provide organic, nourishing meals because we believe that food is also medicine. 

    Aurum Retreats is not limited to one space. We create sacred ceremonies all over the United States set amongst beautiful backdrops whether that’s a scenic mountain getaway, an ocean oasis, or a single day session at a beautiful home. 

    When it comes to wellbeing, we understand the need to feel safe. To be fully supported so that one can truly immerse themselves into the extraordinary healing of psilocybin mushrooms. In fact this was the genesis for why we began Aurum Retreats. 

    After Husband /Wife duo, Eli and Stillness, went through a personal loss, it led them to seek answers and solace in entheogenic medicines. However, they were faced with the challenge of finding accessible, supportive spaces. That’s when Aurum was born.

    Central to our ethos is inclusivity. We offer a welcoming space where individuals of all backgrounds can explore spiritual growth, expand their minds, and nurture their bodies. Through scholarships and varied program offerings, we strive to make healing accessible to everyone, regardless of financial or personal constraints.

    More than just a retreat, Aurum is a community of growth-seekers and healers. Here, you'll find companionship with like-minded individuals dedicated to personal and collective healing. Whether you're drawn to spiritual growth, mind-expansion, or physical well-being, our holistic approach fosters deep connections and profound experiences.

    Join us at Aurum Retreats and begin to remember your wholeness. Together, we explore the realms of possibility, embracing a future where healthy living is paramount.

She is dedicated to accessibility and creating businesses that are in integrity with established core values.
    As an eternal seeker, Stillness began her personal psychedelic journey in her late teens as a way to explore other consciousness and process childhood and sexual trauma. In her late twenties she spent months traveling in India for a psychology-based art project during which time she studied meditation with Amma of Kerala and at the Dalai Lama's Temple in Dharamshala. She trained Landmark Education and in Psychosynthesis therapy, which lead to a board certification in life coaching.

She has a daily practice of using quantum techniques and entheogenic medicines for her own self healing and works tirelessly to bring about a better world for those around her.
    Eli’s bio
    Eli imagines a world where people’s compassion for one another creates a kinder, happier, and more vibrant place. He leads with compassion, values diversity, and aims to foster inner harmony in individuals, striving to bring true peace to the world, one person at a time. His studies include Kabbalah, the Landmark Forum, and he was an honorable member of MDI Men’s circles in NYC and LA.
    Eli began his psychedelic journey after the passing of his father in 2019. After many sleepless nights, he embarked on a psilocybin journey with his wife and business partner, KS. This impactful experience led him to attend an Ayahuasca ceremony, where he found closure with his father's passing.
    Eli’s understanding of the different stages of grief has shaped his approach to creating safe spaces for participants to explore their own deeper healing. Recognizing that healing is a lifelong journey, Eli's mission is to make it both fun and meaningful.
    Being a father of two daughters, Rebecca and Amalia, he is constantly reminded of the importance of playfulness and connecting with the divine feminine spirit within himself.

  • Our Process

    Overview of Experience:

    After completing the intake process, participants schedule a 1-on-1 prep session to go over their application, prepare for their upcoming retreat, talk over concerns and get questions answered.

    For our multi-day retreats, participants also meet on zoom for two additional scheduled group prep sessions before the retreat begins.

    For multi-day retreats: Participants arrive on location the day before ceremony starts to get settled in and have dinner as a group followed by a night’s rest. The morning following and for the two following days, ceremony begins with a breakfast of belly-friendly foods, perfect for journey and health enhancement.

    Ceremony commences with taking vital signs of all participants and facilitators followed by a variety of rituals ranging from permission asking ceremony, cacao, kanna, voice activation, breathwork, meditation, spirit guide connection and dosage assistance. During the medicine journey, participants are held in a safe container by expert guides trained in harm reduction, various healing and therapeutic modalities and trauma certified.

    The farm-to-ceremony medicine we use is a blend of strains to balance the heart, body and mind, with herbal allies for bioavailability and nausea elimination. Each afternoon the hosts bring out trays of nourishing food to aid in the smooth descent of the medicine, followed by a meal that is gentle to the system. Participants travel home on the morning of the fifth day. Processing is done on the morning of the third ceremony day and at the three virtual integration sessions that follow.

    Single-Day Retreats: Participants arrive on location the day of ceremony and get settled in with journaling or meditation. Ceremony commences with taking vital signs of all participants and facilitators followed by rituals such as permission asking ceremony, cacao, kanna, voice activation, breathwork, meditation, spirit guide connection and dosage assistance.

    During the journey, participants are held in a safe container by expert guides trained in harm reduction, various healing and therapeutic modalities and trauma certified. The farm-to-ceremony medicine we use is a blend of strains to balance the heart, body and mind, with herbal allies for bioavailability and nausea elimination.

    In the afternoon the hosts bring out trays of nourishing food to aid in the smooth descent of the medicine, followed by bone broth. Participants have the choice to stay the night or travel home in the evening of the ceremony day after being released by a facilitator and signing a waiver. Processing is done at the closing ceremony and at the virtual integration session that follows.

    All aspects of retreats are done with intentionality and from a lens of ceremony, with the highest standards of safety and transparency upheld.

    Intake Process:

    Please share how you vet and accept clients for your clinic such as phone consultation, in-person consultation, intake form, medical assessment, medical history, psychological assessment, consent forms, other.

    Our Process: After clients fill out the application and the PMA application online, they schedule a 1-on-1 call with one of our intake coordinator to go over the application (including all health related concerns) and prepare the person for their retreat.

    As needed for the health and safety of participants, the intake coordinator will consult with our medical advisor about specific health concerns or drug combinations. If a participant is not medically or psychologically fit to attend ceremony, the intake personnel will let them know.

    2 Reviews on “Aurum Retreats”

    • Patrick M. 3 months ago

      I recently spent three days in Ceremony with KS and Eli from Aurum Retreats. What an amazing experience! KS and Eli were so kind and compassionate and supportive throughout the whole process. The retreat has allowed me to make a real mental shift, something that I never achieved in years of traditional therapies. I was able to release the anger that had become a controlling part of my life, and now have a new feeling of spaciousness and freedom. Since the retreat, KS and Eli have helped me integrate my new practices into my life in order to avoid falling back into my old patterns. I continue to do this work and plan on returning to Ceremony at another Aurum retreat in the near future.

      This retreat experience was so enriching and profound. Every little detail was intentional and felt like it was taylor-made for me. KS and the team held such a beautiful and healing space for all of us, and I most definitely left feeling transformed. It helped me bring to consciousness beliefs that were leading me to repeat destructive patterns, and now I’m more aligned with my higher self and higher purpose. I feel free, light, and empowered to live my best life. So grateful for the opportunity and for being exposed to their loving energy.
