transformation of the user under their influence. [ 3 ] Prehistoric rock art near Villar del Humo in Spain suggests
that Psilocybe hispanica was used in religious rituals 6,000 years ago. [ 4 ] The hallucinogenic [ 5 ] species of the
Psilocybe genus have a history of use among the native peoples of Mesoamerica for religious communion,
divination, and healing, from pre-Columbian times to the present day. [ 6 ] Mushroom stones and motifs have

The role of intention setting in sacred ceremonies for maximizing


healing benefits


Intention Setting in Sacred Ceremonies


Setting intentions is a crucial aspect of the sacred ceremonies held during our 5-DAY Psilocybin Retreat. By
consciously setting intentions, participants are able to focus their minds on specific goals or desires for their
healing journey with psilocybin mushrooms. This practice helps to create a clear direction for the experience,
allowing individuals to maximize the healing benefits that can be gained from the psychedelic therapy.


Harnessing Healing Benefits through Intention Setting


During our sacred ceremonies, participants are encouraged to set intentions that align with their personal healing
needs and aspirations. By doing so, individuals can harness the full potential of psilocybin mushrooms to address
past traumas, unlock creativity, and cultivate gratitude. The intentional focus allows for a deeper connection with
the medicine and enhances the overall transformative effects of the retreat experience. In effect this means that
participants are more likely to achieve profound healing outcomes and lasting positive changes in their mental
health and well-being.

Rituals help participants feel grounded, protected, and connected to something greater than themselves, fostering
a sense of community and trust among participants.
