The medium-dose retreat is designed for people who want to explore themselves while on psilocybin with more presence and agency than a heroic dose allows. At 9.5 mg of psilocin, the medium dose hits a sweet spot. It is strong enough for profound inner work yet gentle enough to stay connected to your body, your creativity, and your facilitator throughout a 3.5-hour guided journey. That journey can include guided somatic exercises, trauma release, gentle yoga-like movement, deep breathwork, art therapy, and meditation. Because you retain more control over your body and conscious thought at this dose, active engagement in each of these modalities is not only possible but, in many cases, enhanced. The weekend begins with a Friday evening preparation session, followed by the Saturday morning journey, and a Sunday integration session. The intention is to create a safe container where all of you is welcome. Together, we create a space to explore what has happened in your life and find your way home to yourself, or simply to get in touch with your creativity and learn what's possible. Participants commonly discover how their past is shaping their present, connect deeply with others in the group, and leave with a clearer sense of purpose. Those three things—coming home to yourself, connection with others, and a clear mission—have a profoundly positive impact on mental and physical health. (For reference on dosage: In most of the research on large doses of psilocybin, the participants are given a dose of 18 mg psilocin, which converts to about 25 mg psilocybin. Sangam also offers large-dose journeys for those seeking a longer, deeper experience.)

Benjamin's presence and calm clarity set a stage for understanding of my "self" AND deep connection with my partner. His process is intentional, well-engineered and deliberate, but there's plenty of room for exploration and for flow. It's efficient but not rushed, thorough but not repetitive. I judge the preparation, journey, and integration were all equally valuable. Benjamin teaches how to "unblend" from parts of us that initially formed to protect us but now can get in the way of who we want to be. And it was wonderful to go through this experience with my wife. We now have the ability to facilitate each other, leading to more compassion and curiosity, and deeper understanding and connection. Before this experience, I was aware of some of the trauma my wife had faced but now I can truly "feel" what she has been through and understand her on levels I wouldn't have thought possible before our work with Benjamin. He's a magician and I can't recommend him enough.

We wanted to share our experience working with Benjamin as our guide. From the very beginning, he stood out for his authenticity and presence. He brought a level of kindness, thoughtfulness, and patience that immediately put us at ease. As first-time participants in psychedelic therapy traveling in from out of state there was some anxiety and uncertainty going into the process. He met that with a calm, grounded confidence and a thoroughness that helped us build real trust. During the preparation phase, he took the time to understand us individually and together. Nothing felt rushed or formulaic. He asked the right questions, created space for reflection, and helped us feel genuinely ready for the experience ahead. The journey itself was incredible, and a big part of that was the environment he created. We felt safe, supported, and able to fully lean into the experience. His presence was steady and intuitive throughout — never intrusive, but always exactly where it needed to be. What has stood out just as much, if not more, has been the post-integration support. He has continued to show up with the same level of care and attention, helping us process and apply what we experienced in a meaningful way. We chose to add several additional sessions because we found his guidance so valuable during this phase. Looking back, it's clear that the depth and quality of our experience were directly tied to the trust and comfort he established with us. He was exceptional at every step of the process, and we're deeply grateful for the role he played in this journey. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering this kind of work.

Throughout the entire process from the first phone call to the last session I did with him, Benjamin was fantastic. There is no doubt he genuinely cares about others, empathizes with their situation, and wants to do anything he can to help. He helps guide you along the journey with compassion at a pace that is appropriate and set by you. From my time with him I learned quite a bit and it has been the catalyst for my continued search for knowledge and growth internally and with how I interact with the outside world. I made significant progress towards my goals in essentially a short 2 month period with him and I have continued to maintain that progress and grow now about 4 months later. If it wasn't for me living out of state I would still be working with him. He was extremely accommodating in making everything work. I would absolutely embark on another journey with him should the need arise in the future. If you are considering psychedelic therapy, have an initial phone call and see if it's right for you. Benjamin would be an excellent guide on your journey should you decide to pursue it. Without having embarked on my journey I feel I would have been stuck in the same spot I had been for so long and I thank Benjamin helping me along the way.
