The Adventure This retreat is designed to support men coming home to themselves. To support men and their desire to connect to the ones they love. The Universal Dilemma The pattern I’ve noticed over the years is that men tend to struggle to connect with their feelings. Struggle to connect deeply with other men. Once we recognize that we want to get more in touch with ourselves, to have meaningful friendships that will help us express our deepest emotions…we are ready for the adventure. One of my favorite parts of my job is witnessing men connect constructively and safely to their anger, to their grief, to their joy. To all the parts of who they are. Intention The intention of this retreat is to create a safe container where all of you is welcome. This is a valuable opportunity for you to explore what has happened to you in your life and to find your way home to yourself. The Why We do the work because we want our partners, our kids to receive the best of us. Because we want to show up fully in our creativity, in our passions, in our careers. Most men I know make tremendous sacrifices to support their families. Your unwavering commitment to provide for the ones you love does not mean you have to give up parts of who you are. But most men have given up parts of themselves along the way because life is really hard. And many men are without a role model to show them how to step fully into themselves, into their power as a man. The Possibilities It is common for men to learn through psilocybin how their past is hindering their mission in the present. To find a map during their journey to their own healing. It is common for men to connect deeply to other men in the psychedelic experience, to meet friends who will support them on their journey home long after the group experience is over. It is common for men to get connected to their life’s mission, to come out of the journey knowing why they are here. These three things—coming home to yourself, intimacy with other men, and a clear mission in life—have a profoundly positive impact on mental and physical health, and they help men deepen their connection with the ones they love.

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.
