Plant Medicine Retreats
When empathogens are sought out for their therapeutic or self-improvement effects, we are seeking liberation from our habituated ways of thinking and feeling that have hindered our ability to heal and evolve.
​
It is not only the plant medicine that opens up an individual to a wider range of experiences, but also the direction, content and overall quality of the experiences to be focused and enhanced with guidance.
The presence of knowledgeable guides, experienced voyagers and a supportive community greatly facilitates the probability of reaching expanded levels of consciousness, while also 'recalling and integrating' the experiences afterwards.
When you arrive at a scenic, serene beachfront, red-rock desert or mountain range, you will enter the very heart and core of life’s true essence and meaning - sounds, aromas and the energy of your surroundings ignite healing to begin.
Note: max. 5 voyager registrations per retreat
- we bridge the gap between ancient and modern teachings; mushrooms are a spiritual experience, not a clinical ego experience...

- there is this illusion that science and spiritual practices are separate;
this idea is simply not true... it is damaging.
Each Vita Lotus Retreat is scheduled and designed differently dependable on the location, the atmosphere, the energy of the setting we wish to enhance and the attendance of the participants.
(pay close attention to each desciption of each retreat)
Each All-Inclusive Vita Lotus Retreat is designed with you in mind. We do our best to accommodate your food and drink preferences, provide airport transport and offer the support you need prior, during and after your retreat.
Each Vita Lotus Retreat includes two spirit voyages; offered in variable ways depending on the chosen retreat setting. (capsules, liquid infused tea, blue lotus compliment or truffles)
All our retreats are wellness focused with experienced voyagers who have decades of experience. We are aware how to navigate your consciousness in an altered state because we have mastered our own.
Should you be unwilling to accept guidance, nor assistance from a facilitator or cannot be, transparent about your motives for attending or are not, willing to be forthright in sharing with a group and/or especially unwilling to do the personal inner-work to heal or evolve - we suggest you find another avenue to have your spirit journey, rather than a retreat with us.
We are strict with our core values because we at Vita Lotus can attest and bared witness, to the un-rivaling healing potential and unparalleled life enhancing benefits of plant medicine and how it can change peoples's lives.
Each Vita Lotus Retreat is charged with various activities and exercies to enhance your healing, inspire relaxation and overall wholeness of wellness. You go home not only nurtured and nourished, you go home with practices to better live the life you have.
Once registered and secured your spot, you will be forwarded a questionnaire we require answered to learn more of who you are - you will then be contacted within 12 hours to arrange a video chat to collaborate.
In many instances, we tag-team with the use of cacao to enhance the spirit voyages. Should this be of interest, please discuss w/Maia during your video chat call.

What we offer at Vita Lotus is different than other retreats - we consider plant medicine sacraments, food for the spirit. What you will notice with other retreats is a clinical approach trying to fit these ancient plants into western medicine. This is an un-natural approach for mushrooms because these plants are a spiritual experience, not a clinical ego experience.
At Vita Lotus we do not adhere to the clinical, rather to the metaphysical spiritual experience. Our retreats are inspired by a spirit and science based approach to healing, expanding awareness and evolving human consciousness.
We hold space and guide you to connect to the healing intelligence within yourself, to better master your life and empower you to be free from the prison of your own suffering in the mind.
- we must all work together respectfully as partners and show respect for the ongoing Indigenous-led preservation of healing an awakening with entheogens....
