What an incredible journey at the Soma Institute! The setting was serene, providing the perfect backdrop for introspection. The team, including Alessio and Tereza, were exceptional, offering guidance and support throughout the retreat. The small group setting fostered a sense of community and trust, enhancing the overall experience. The psilocybin sessions were transformative, leading to insights that have positively impacted my life. The holistic approach, combining therapy with plant medicine, was exactly what I needed. Forever grateful for this experience.
The Soma Institute offers a unique blend of therapy and plant medicine in a tranquil setting. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring participants felt safe and supported. The small group format allowed for personalized attention, which I greatly appreciated. The only downside was that the accommodations, while clean and comfortable, were somewhat basic. Despite this, the retreat provided valuable insights and a renewed sense of self.
I attended a retreat at the Soma Institute with hopes of deep personal transformation. The facilitators were professional and created a safe environment for exploration. The psilocybin sessions were insightful, and the integration discussions helped in processing the experiences. However, I felt that the retreat was somewhat overpriced for the amenities provided. Additionally, more follow-up support post-retreat would have been beneficial. While I did gain some valuable insights, I believe there is room for improvement in the overall offering.
Attending the Soma Institute was a life-altering experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt enveloped in an aura of understanding and acceptance. The facilitators, especially Sonia, exuded warmth and professionalism, guiding us through each session with profound care. The psilocybin ceremonies were conducted with utmost respect, creating a safe space for deep personal exploration. The integration sessions were invaluable, helping me process and incorporate the insights gained. I left with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. Highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking profound personal growth.
My time at the Soma Institute was profoundly positive. The facilitators demonstrated a deep understanding of the therapeutic process, and the environment was both comfortable and conducive to healing. The psilocybin ceremonies were handled with care, allowing for meaningful personal insights. However, I felt that the retreat could benefit from more varied meal options to cater to different dietary preferences. Overall, a transformative experience that I would recommend to others.
