Mushroom Tao
Guided psilocybin journeys for personal transformation.

Setting
Mushroom Tao offers a unique setting, providing personalized guidance either in the comfort of your own home in Los Angeles or at a dedicated retreat center in Costa Rica. This dual approach allows for a highly customizable environment, from familiar personal spaces to a more traditional, yet still private, retreat atmosphere.
The practice
Mushroom Tao specializes in guided psilocybin journeys, a form of plant medicine practice aimed at healing and personal growth. While not a traditional meditation practice, the experience often involves deep introspection and altered states of consciousness, which can be profoundly meditative. Participants receive personalized support and guidance throughout their journey, whether it takes place in their own home or at a retreat.
A typical day
The typical day at Mushroom Tao is highly individualized and depends entirely on the specific journey and setting chosen. There isn't a fixed daily schedule like a traditional retreat. Instead, the focus is on personalized guidance and support tailored to the participant's needs and the nature of their psilocybin experience.
Accommodation
Accommodation varies significantly based on your chosen journey. If opting for an in-home experience, you'll remain in your own residence. For those choosing the Costa Rica option, the experience takes place at a beautiful, unspecified retreat center.
What to bring
For in-home journeys, you'll be in your own space, so bring whatever makes you comfortable. For a retreat in Costa Rica, pack light, breathable clothing suitable for a tropical climate, along with personal items for comfort and reflection.
