About this experience
The Medicine Within is an intimate women's retreat that weaves psilocybin ceremony with yoga, meditation, sound healing, and sacred ritual across five days in the Pacific Northwest. Each retreat in this series carries its own name and seasonal intention, but the arc is the same: arrive, prepare, journey, integrate, and return home more connected to yourself. You'll stay in a private home in Vancouver, WA, with a small circle of 4 to 8 women. Everything is taken care of — chef-prepared meals, a sauna, hot tub, fire pit, and soft spaces to land. Ceremony days are held at Rose Waters Sanctuary, a licensed psilocybin service center in Portland, with two guided group journeys: a low dose on day two and a larger dose on day three. A full integration day follows, with sharing circles, one-on-one check-ins, and time to rest. Preparation starts before you arrive. You'll have a one-on-one session with your facilitator and two group calls to build trust and set intention. After the retreat, you'll have individual and group integration sessions, plus an open invitation to a free monthly Zoom call for all past participants. This retreat is for women navigating transition, grief, disconnection, or the desire to slow down and listen inward in the company of others doing the same.
