Through a curated and clinically informed mix of individual and group practices\, you’ll be empowered to uncover what it truly means to get to know yourself\, and in return\, be known to others. Whether you’re seeking clarity\, connection\, confidence or simple a moment to pause and reset. This 6 day psychedelic retreat\, facilitated by a team of expert psychedelic practitioners and qualified gay therapists\, with extended group preparation and integration is for those who want to transform their relationships. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Robbie wants a relationship\, but only ever seems to meet guys who want to hook up of be friends with benefits.  He feels like nobody seems to want a committed relationship. Amir has been using the dating apps for a long time\, used to enjoy the casual meets with no pressure but it’s starting to feel boring and meaningless\, and he just can’t seem to get out of the habit. Hugo has had had several two-to-three-year relationships\, he gives his all\, does everything the please his partner\, spends less time with his friends but the relationship always seems to end the same way\, he’s left feeling lost and alone. James has had too much heartbreak throughout his life\, longs for a relationship but is overcome by fear of being abandoned so throws himself into work instead to fill the gaps in his relational world. Michael has just ended a decades long committed relationship\, and realises that he’s no longer sure who he is by himself\, or what it means to be a gay man anymore. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For many of us understanding\, finding and maintaining the kind of relationship they would like is hard.

Through a curated and clinically informed mix of individual and group practices\, you’ll be empowered to uncover what it truly means to get to know yourself\, and in return\, be known to others. Whether you’re seeking clarity\, connection\, confidence or simple a moment to pause and reset. This 6 day psychedelic retreat\, facilitated by a team of expert psychedelic practitioners and qualified gay therapists\, with extended group preparation and integration is for those who want to transform their relationships. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Robbie wants a relationship\, but only ever seems to meet guys who want to hook up of be friends with benefits.  He feels like nobody seems to want a committed relationship. Amir has been using the dating apps for a long time\, used to enjoy the casual meets with no pressure but it’s starting to feel boring and meaningless\, and he just can’t seem to get out of the habit. Hugo has had had several two-to-three-year relationships\, he gives his all\, does everything the please his partner\, spends less time with his friends but the relationship always seems to end the same way\, he’s left feeling lost and alone. James has had too much heartbreak throughout his life\, longs for a relationship but is overcome by fear of being abandoned so throws himself into work instead to fill the gaps in his relational world. Michael has just ended a decades long committed relationship\, and realises that he’s no longer sure who he is by himself\, or what it means to be a gay man anymore. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For many of us understanding\, finding and maintaining the kind of relationship they would like is hard. Our life experiences with parents\, family\, peers\, first attempts at relationships\, gay culture and scene\, social expectations\, pressures and insecurities all have an impact.  Being able to form healthy and meaningful relationships with others\, starts with being able to have a healthy and meaningful relationship with ourselves.  Psychedelics (psilocybin\, the active compound present within magic mushrooms) offer us a way to explore ourselves\, new ways of relating to our past\, present and future\, bringing opportunities to create new ways of being in the world. Through an assisted psychedelic experience\, we can connect with existence beyond just ourselves\, allowing us to examine and challenge the narratives we tell ourselves about who we are and how we should be\, creating a radicalised opportunity for change. The retreat will be facilitated by Numinous Ways with activities designed to aid the exploration of ourselves and our relationships. The extended group preparation and integration sessions will be facilitated by Dr Nick Wakefield\, Clinical Psychologist\, and Alexis Caught\, Psychotherapist and Clinical Sexologist. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n * This includes trans men – facilitators previous group experience with MSM including trans men is that we share many personal and interpersonal dynamic issues which can benefit from the group format.  We also acknowledge the possible differences in experience but believe there is a lot to be learnt by each other from the differences. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 🌿 What’s Included in Your Numinous Retreat Experience:Two Psilocybin CeremoniesExpertly guided sessions designed for healing\, insight\, and deep personal transformation.
