What’s Included: A comprehensive application, screening, and preparation process; pre-retreat education and intention-setting; guided ceremony sessions with facilitator support throughout; and reflective integration work after the retreat — the full preparation-to-integration arc rather than a standalone ceremony.
HealingMaps Take: Divinae’s structure emphasizes the two phases most retreats underinvest in — screening/preparation beforehand and integration afterward — delivered in small groups by the same guides across the whole arc. The rotating multi-state calendar (Oregon, Arizona, California, New York) makes a structured psilocybin retreat reachable without international travel. As with any retreat operating in a church-based spiritual framework rather than a clinical setting, prospective participants should complete the screening process candidly and discuss contraindications — particularly psychiatric medications and personal or family psychosis history — with their own clinician before applying.
Divinae Retreats organizes small-group psilocybin retreats at venues across the United States — the fall and winter 2026 calendar runs through Prescott, Arizona; Toledo, Oregon; and Mendocino County, California, with past seasons also held in Weston, Oregon and Kerhonkson in New York’s Hudson Valley — in partnership with Divine Earth Church. Retreats run as Core Experience (two to three nights) or Extended Experience (three nights) weekends in small, intimate groups, and private retreats can be arranged at a venue and date of your choosing.
Each retreat follows the same arc: applicants complete a screening and preparation process that includes education and intention-setting; the retreat weekend centers on guided ceremony sessions with continuous facilitator support; and structured integration work follows to help participants translate the experience into daily life. Nicole and Bryan Bankhead serve as minister guides across all three phases.
