Psilocybin Psychotherapy · Ecuador
Mind. Medicine.
Meaning.

Immerse yourself in the healing power of spirituality, nature and science to experience a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
OUR PHILOSOPY
Ancient Wisdom,
Clinical Safety
Humanity's relationship with plant medicine is ancient. At Soma Healing Sanctuary we honour mushrooms not as a recreational substance but as a sacred teacher that, when held in a therapeutic and ceremonial frame, can support profound emotional healing and re‑orientation of life.
For many Western minds, encounters with ancestral medicine can feel disorienting. Psychotherapy becomes a bridge: a grounded, clinical space that helps your psyche make meaning of what the medicine reveals so that insights turn into sustainable change.

The Soma Method
Our retreats follow a three-phase journey: preparation, ceremony, and integration.
2. Ceremony
The session takes place in a safe, open, and natural environment designed for introspection. A moderate dose followed by microdoses tailored to needs, typically lasting 3–6 hours. The medicine is offered in a ceremonial infusion of cacao with honey and continuous support.
3. Integration
The bridge between the mystical and the ordinary. Through personalized integration guidelines, we support reflection, emotional processing, making meaning, and turning insights into conscious changes in habits and mindset.
SACTARY SPACES

ESSENTIAL TO THE JORNEY
Integration: Where the Real Magic Begins
In the world of plant medicine, the session itself is only the beginning — true transformation unfolds in the days, weeks, and months that follow. This final stage, known as integration, is where insights and revelations are gently woven into daily life. It is the bridge between the mystical and the ordinary, where the lessons of expanded consciousness take root and begin to flower in tangible, lasting change. At SOMA, this process is supported through personalized integration guidelines, exercises, and therapeutic accompaniment designed to help each individual embody their experience with clarity, balance, and purpose.
"There is no magic pill; healing becomes real through presence, dedication, and intentional practice." — Gabor Maté
