Experience — Sacred Ceremony

Conscious Microdosing & Soundhealing Journey

For women who feel called, this retreat offers the optional opportunity to explore a guided psilocybin microdosing experience within a carefully held and supportive environment. Unlike a full psychedelic journey, a microdose is a sub-perceptual dose, meaning it is not intended to produce hallucinations, a loss of control or a significantly altered state of consciousness. Most people simply experience themselves as feeling present and fully functional, while noticing subtle shifts such as greater openness, emotional flexibility, creativity, mindfulness or connection. Participation is entirely optional and no previous experience with psychedelics is required.

Although research on microdosing is still evolving, early studies and countless personal reports suggest that, when combined with intentional practices, it may support emotional wellbeing, resilience, self-reflection and psychological flexibility. During our retreat, the experience is thoughtfully paired with sound healing, meditation and somatic practices to encourage relaxation, presence and meaningful integration. The intention is never the substance itself, but the safe container that allows new perspectives, insights and lasting personal growth to emerge.

This experience is guided by Dr. Bianca Ciabattari, a medical doctor, certified psychedelic practitioner and facilitator trained through Kiyumi, an internationally recognized psychedelic education institute based in the Netherlands. Every aspect of the experience has been designed with safety, ethics and informed choice at its core. Women are encouraged to participate only if they genuinely feel called, and choosing not to microdose will never diminish the depth or richness of the retreat experience.

To learn more about the science and therapeutic potential of psychedelics, we recommend watching the Netflix documentary series “How to Change Your Mind” and the documentary “Fantastic Fungi.” For an accessible introduction to the current research on microdosing, we also recommend the article “The Science of Microdosing Psychedelics” published by the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics, which offers a balanced and easy-to-understand overview of what is currently known from scientific research.
