A retreat held specifically for men. Ceremony, brotherhood, and the space to go inward — without performance, without explanation. Just the work, together, at our retreat centre on the coast near Alicante.
We are, at our core, spiritual beings — and spiritual beings need contact with one another. In modern life that contact has become rare. We don’t touch, we don’t build things together, we don’t sit in a room and work as a team toward something that matters. What is left is a quiet isolation, alongside a culture that often rewards competition and individualism over connection.
This retreat is built around the same ceremonies as our flagship introduction to psychedelics retreat — the same medicines, the same facilitation, the same careful preparation. What changes is the container. We have found that splitting groups by gender, men together and women together, tends to bring a more powerful experience than a mixed group. Something shifts when a room is made up entirely of men — it becomes easier to be honest, easier to go to the harder places, easier to receive support without deflecting it.
For men in particular, this matters right now. Many are carrying anger, frustration, and a sense of powerlessness that has nowhere to go, and that takes a real toll on mental health. This retreat is a chance to work through some of that together, as a unit. Building unity, companionship, and camaraderie is not a side effect — in a time when division and isolation are the default, it is part of the point.
The retreat runs over multiple days, based at our centre in El Campello on the Costa Blanca. There will be at least one ceremony with psilocybin mushrooms, and depending on the group and the schedule, San Pedro as well. The facilitation team is present throughout — this is not a solo or lightly supervised experience.
There is time between sessions for rest, conversation, and food prepared on site. Integration is part of the programme, not an afterthought. A licensed psychologist is part of the team and leads the pre-retreat screening.
Groups are kept small on purpose. You will know the names of everyone in the room.
Babaji talks about what makes the men’s retreat different, and what you can expect from the experience.
All our retreats begin with a short health questionnaire and a 30-minute call with our psychologist. The €40 screening fee comes off your retreat total when your place is confirmed.
