We will use wireless EEG Muse headbands which allows our researchers to track your real-time brain activity, making it possible to study the subtle neural effects of microdosing with unprecedented ease. Given the limited microdosing research that currently exists, this is your opportunity to create a powerful impact on the field of microdosing at large. Your involvement in this landmark microdosing study will help generate valuable data and insights, driving forward our understanding of these powerful tools. This retreat offers a transformative experience, combining the power of microdosing with cutting-edge neuroscience to deepen your understanding of the mind and elevate your personal growth. This is your opportunity to be part of a movement that is shifting public perception and fostering the integration of psychedelic science into both personal and collective transformation.

In this captivating live session, Dr. Girn will conduct an EEG (electroencephalogram) demonstration showcasing how psychedelics influence brain activity in real time, providing a rare and insightful window into the profound effects these substances have on the human mind. You will witness firsthand how psychedelics alter neural patterns and promote neuroplasticity, deepening the understanding of how these substances can facilitate healing, transformation, and expanded consciousness.
Mushroom-Infused Tea House and Elixirs
Step into our serene, decriminalized tea house, where the ancient wisdom of magic mushrooms meets modern wellness in our curated selection of mushroom-infused elixirs. These nourishing blends, crafted from powerful adaptogenic, magic and medicinal mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane, and chaga, offer a natural way to enhance mental clarity, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being. Sip on these rich, earthy infusions and dance the night away in a peaceful setting designed for reflection and connection. Each elixir is thoughtfully prepared to support both your body and mind, creating a sanctuary where nature’s healing power is infused into every cup.
