To understand how Eleusinia is different, it is important to first read our founder’s article on what she found lacking with other retreats and how she ventured to design a different kind of program.  Prioritizing the science and neurological benefits behind psychedelics, Eleusinia Retreat distinguishes itself from other retreats which exclusively focus on potential spiritual or religious enlightenment. While Eleusinia recognizes the spiritual and religious enlightenment experienced by its clients, Eleusinia’s program also focuses on neuroplasticity, brain health, pain management, and personal growth. Along with teaching techniques and approaches for managing a psychedelic trip itself, the program also empowers guests to incorporate psychedelics into their wellness routine with independence and self-sufficiency. The community atmosphere promotes learning, growth, shared discussion, and general reflection while encouraging spiritual experiences. The program’s support extends well beyond the retreat itself, providing guests with a dedicated private network for communication, questions and discussion beyond the days of the retreat itself, along with updated articles, online classes, research links, and cultivation course videos. Eleusinia’s  mission is to equip guests with the confidence, independence, and tools needed to manage their condition and goals independently, while continuing to receive support from doctors and family back home.
