SUMMARY:Gay Men’s Psychedelic Relational Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to connect with yourself\, and others\, on a deeper more authentic level? \n Join us\, a small group of likeminded gay\, bisexual and queer men who have sex with men* for a relationally focused  transformative retreat where we explore the self\, the collective and our individual and shared identities and relationships. 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. \nThis 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\nRobbie 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. \nAmir 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. \nHugo 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. \nJames 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. \nMichael 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\nFor 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. \n 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. \nThe 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* 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🌿 What’s Included in Your Numinous Retreat Experience:\n\n\nTwo Psilocybin CeremoniesExpertly guided sessions designed for healing\, insight\, and deep personal transformation. \n\n\nComprehensive Health AssessmentA thorough physical and psychological screening to ensure your safety and readiness. \n\n\nComplete Support FrameworkPersonalized preparation before arrival—including online group sessions and 1:1 guidance—continuous care throughout the retreat\, and post-retreat integration sessions (via video calls) with experienced facilitators and psychotherapists. \n\n\n21-Day Preparation CourseAccess to our exclusive My Numinous Ways app course\, offering structured support and reflection tools to ground your journey. \n\n\nHolistic Daily PracticesYoga\, meditation\, art exercises\, ecstatic dance\, and creative expression to support emotional release\, embodiment\, and spiritual exploration. \n\n\nNourishing Plant-Based MealsEnjoy three wholesome vegetarian meals each day\, plus coffee and tea always available. \n\n\nComfortable\, Restorative AccommodationsStay in thoughtfully designed single or double rooms that invite rest\, reflection\, and connection to nature. \n\n\nSeamless Travel SupportRound-trip transportation from the nearest airport or train station to the retreat centre. \n\n\nOngoing Integration & ConnectionStay supported through monthly Numinous Dialogues\, and enjoy lifetime membership in the Numinous Community for continued connection\, learning\, and growth.

SUMMARY:Double Ceremony\, 6 day Retreat

These core experiences are carefully held and supervised\, creating space for healing\, insight\, and expanded awareness. Around them\, practices such as yoga\, meditation\, art\, ecstatic dance\, and creative expression help to ground and integrate the journey. \nThe retreat setting itself offers many ways to rest and connect: a swimming pool and mature garden with magnificent trees\, a meditation deck with breath-taking views of the mountains\, and a pond alive with koi and frogs.

SUMMARY:Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru
DESCRIPTION:Our Amazon retreat is a deep immersion into the traditional Ayahuasca practice of the Shipibo people\, held in the heart of the Peruvian jungle. Guided by experienced Onayabo (Shipibo shamans)\, the retreat centres on three night time ceremonies\, supported by rituals with jungle medicines\, plant walks\, and time in the forest. This is not a fusion or reinterpretation—it is an invitation to encounter the medicine in its original context\, with humility and respect. You can read more about the experience and background of the Numinous Ways team here. \nDesigned for experienced seekers\, the retreat requires both physical and psychological readiness. The conditions are simple but supportive\, with traditional meals and basic accommodation. Numinous Ways facilitators travel with the group from the outset and remain present throughout the entire journey\, serving as guides\, cultural bridges\, and points of continuity from arrival to return. Their role is to support preparation\, navigation of the experience\, and integration across all stages of the retreat.
