I had been curious about doing a facilitated psilocybin journey for years. I signed up for the Confluence retreat when I saw these were finally legally available here in the US, and founded by someone with deep experience with psychedelics.

The Confluence retreat experience and facilitated journeys exceeded all expectations. From pre-retreat prep through every day of the retreat + every moment of both journeys, and across post-retreat integration sessions, everything was curated and planned with such incredible thoughtfulness for each individual’s needs. And the retreat was held in a gorgeous, spiritual setting that allowed me to fully immerse and focus on my intentions.
Every day of the retreat felt like a wonderful investment in my soul and spirit — something I’ve never done for myself. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to journey under the care and expertise of Myles and his facilitators and with my cohort. Would give Confluence 6 stars if I could, with that extra star for the insanely delicious fresh meals cooked up every day! I highly recommend.

In March of 2024 I attended a Confluence Retreat as a first time psilocybin user and was very grateful for the whole experience. The guidance in preparing oneself and setting intentions before the retreat was invaluable. The facilitators were wise, very experienced and compassionate. Help with group and individual integration in the weeks following the retreat was very helpful and just what I needed. I highly recommend Confluence retreats.
I had been looking into psilocybin for a few years and with that the different avenues of going about it. When I came across Confluence I immediately knew that it was the route for me and I couldn’t have imagined the entire experience to have gone any better. From the setting, to the food to even little things that came up along the way, I’ve never felt more taken care of both physically as well as mentally. The facilitators are attentive, respectful and I feel that they truly care about my well being. The fellow participants ended up being some of the most amazing people I’ve met which reaffirmed that my desire to go about this in a group setting was the correct choice for me. The entire program was thoughtful and while it wasn’t like I expected, it was everything I needed. I honestly don’t know of a more impactful 5 days in my life
So glad I went on this self-exploration journey! The knowledgeable staff created a genuinely welcoming, trusting, and safe environment every step of the way. The medicine was sacred and powerful . . . But there was so much more! The skilled staff provided a variety of activities that enhanced most aspects of our time there. It was easy to go with the flow of the journey knowing I was in capable and caring hands. And, that educated, informed, passionate care continues long past the retreat. Highly recommended!
This was a wonderful experience. The accommodations were beautiful and luxurious, nestled up in the mountainous wilderness. Every meal was handmade and delicious. The psilocybin service center was cozy and well-appointed. The real treasure of this retreat, though, was the people, both the participants and the facilitators. I have never felt safer or more accepted than on this retreat. My fellow participants were part of the journey and were kindred spirits. The facilitators were the most caring, experienced, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I recommend Confluence unreservedly.
Dear Confluence-Team,
I came all the way from europe to go on a healing journey in a safe container under legal conditions with confluence in march.
As a doctor and psychotherapist I appreciated the way the setting was announced as the setting is very important for me -and everything was even better than I hoped for. The facilitators, the teachers of breathwork and teatasting, the cook, food, the surroundings ,the wonderful nature were really heartopening,. Everybody was very engaged and caring.This gave me the chance to relax safely into a lifechanging and healing experience which unfolds a great positive impact on my health and on my life on every level. I am very grateful.
Thank you for your beautiful work! All of you (and the mushrooms)did a great job.

I am so glad I decided to enroll in the Confluence program rather that engage a person to sit with me for my journey. Having never used psychedelics before I could not grasp how important it turned out to be to have a group of fellow travelers with which to share the experience, along with experienced support staff. The Confluence program provided support from my fellow travelers and staff that allowed me to get so much more from my journey than I would have been able to on my own or with someone to simply sit with me. Just as important as the thorough preparation given by the program was the processing, group and one-on-one discussion after the journeys. This happened during the weekend as well as post-seminar followup.
The variety of pre-journey preparations offered by Confluence helped me to be open and accepting of my journey experience without my fear getting in the way.
I attended a Confluence retreat in March of 2024. I wanted to experience plant medicine in a safe and legal way and was attracted by the therapeutic format Confluence has established. I was well pleased with the entire experience. The accommodations and food were amazing, the staff highly skilled and personable, and the Ashland center used for the ceremonies was just right. I especially liked the careful preparation work we were guided through, and having two plant ceremonies separated by a day of integration and followed by more integration. I also enjoyed the small group setting and made some lasting friendships during the week. The retreat exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend Confluence.
I was part of the second March 2024 retreat. I was drawn to the Confluence Retreats because there was a lot of support for the journey before and after the retreat. The schedule provided for preparation, intention setting and integrating the experience. We were given resources to help us prepare, including reading lists, podcasts and cohort group preparation meetings. This was important in my booking the retreat. As someone new to medicine journeys, I was looking for an experience that was legal and provided a safe container in which I could get the most out of my experience.
Once I became part of the cohort, the facilitators and staff at Confluence were open, receptive and very helpful in making this experience feel meaningful. During the medicine sessions, staff and facilitators were attentive to our needs on both physical and emotional levels. Integration sessions included useful exercises to help express what, at times, was difficult to put into words. Not only were they attentive during the retreat, they have helped in further integration of the material that came up after the actual retreat.
As a cohort, we bonded and were very supportive with one another as well. The retreat setting was a beautiful cabin in the woods, the most fantastic home cooked meals and the nourishment of our budding cohort. As my 5 stars indicates, I found this venue to be excellent and I would highly recommend Confluence to anyone who asked.
