Embracing the Sacred: A Psilocybin Experience

December 4–7, 2025

Following the success of our inaugural retreat, PRATI is honored to offer Embracing the Sacred once again—a four-day immersive experience designed to deepen your connection with self, community, nature, and spirit. Guided by traditional healers including respected Mazatec medicine woman Alejandrina and Mexican psychiatrist Dr. Amezcua, this retreat invites practitioners to pause and reconnect with the sacred heart of their work.

In a time of rapid clinicalization, this gathering is a recalibration of the soul—a space to remember that healing begins with humility, presence, and reverence for the mystery. Through ceremony, nature, and shared experience, we’ll explore how to stay rooted in the sacred origins of psychedelic medicine, reignite our own inner healing paths, and renew our capacity to walk alongside others with integrity and compassion.

We will limit the size of this event to 20 participants to engender greater rapport, connection and support.

*Please note that participation in this event requires completion of a psychedelic medicine training and an initial eligibility interview.

What You Will Learn

Over these four days, we will explore together a range of transformative experiences that include guided meditation, breathwork, journaling, prayer, poetry, nature, music, art, dance, and ceremony. We will explore how awe, service, and spiritual alignment can support the creation of a mystical experience. Participants will join together in deeper ceremony to facilitate an experience of unity and transcendence. As part of this experience, participants may elect to journey with or without plant medicine. This allows us to become more familiar with the mystical experience and learn how to support this process for others. To add further depth, the faculty will bring a spiritually diverse background and hold space for the widest possible container of spiritual beliefs.

At PRATI, we tailor our programs to nurture and enrich all parts of you—mind, heart, and spirit. Through a blend of leading-edge research, collaborative learning, and opportunities for deep personal growth and exploration, you can expect to leave feeling inspired and well-prepared to practice psychedelic medicine with greater confidence and compassion.

Join us in embracing a new paradigm of mental healthcare—one that honors the innate healing potential within each of us!

The Embracing the Sacred event will take place in the Highlands of Mexico at a secluded retreat center nestled in the mountains outside Mexico City. This stunning location offers farm-to-table dining, immersive nature experiences, and spa-like services. It is accessible via a 2-3 hour shuttle ride from Mexico City’s Benito Juarez International Airport, which provides direct flights from most major U.S. cities.

Accommodations are priced separately: $1,200 USD per person for a shared room, or $1,400 USD per person for a single room—for a four night stay. This rate includes lodging, three meals per day, and snacks.
