Fall Psilocybin & Wellness Retreat
October 9–12, 2026
Fernlove Retreat Center | Gaston, Oregon
What to Expect
Your experience begins long before journey day. Through individual and group preparation, you'll have the opportunity to clarify your intentions, get to know your facilitators, build trust within the group, and develop practical tools for navigating your experience with confidence.
The retreat includes a legally facilitated group psilocybin journey at a licensed Oregon service center, along with dedicated time for rest, reflection, nourishment, and integration. Throughout the weekend, you'll be supported by licensed facilitators who remain present from arrival through departure.
Whether you're navigating a season of change or simply feeling called toward deeper self-understanding, this retreat offers space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what feels most essential.
With a maximum of eight participants, every aspect of the retreat has been designed to feel personal, spacious, and deeply supportive.
A Place Designed for Restoration
Fernlove Retreat Center is nestled among 30 acres of forest just outside Gaston, Oregon. The setting was chosen intentionally for its sense of quiet, privacy, and connection to the natural world.
Guests enjoy private cabins that offer time for solitude and uninterrupted rest, while shared spaces invite meaningful connection with others. Between facilitated experiences, you'll have access to walking trails, a sauna and cold plunge, restorative movement, meditation, sound healing, journaling, creative practices, and time simply to be.
Farm-to-table meals prepared by a private chef provide nourishment throughout the weekend, allowing you to remain fully present in your experience.
The retreat begins at 3:00 pm on Friday, October 9, and concludes at 11:00 am on Monday, October 12. We invite you to reserve these four days fully for yourself. From our opening gathering through our closing integration, each part of the retreat has been thoughtfully designed to support a meaningful and well-held experience.
We believe that meaningful experiences begin with relationship. Before reserving your place, we'll meet for a consultation call to get to know one another, explore what you're seeking, and ensure this retreat feels like the right fit for you. This conversation also begins our registration and screening process.

We recommend bringing whatever clothing, toiletries and anything else you might like to have for your stay. It can get chilly in the evenings especially but can be nice to be outside.
On your journey day, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and find that it is good to wear layers. You may find that you get warm or chilly and it is nice to have options - think cozy socks, sweat pants, tank tops and zip-up sweatshirts.
We will have blankets and pillows and everything you need to be comfortable but feel free to bring a favorite cozy blanket if you’d like. We will provide eye masks and headphones, but if you have your own that you would prefer to use, feel free to bring those as well.
Journals, stones, meaningful mementos such as photos, jewelry, stones or anything you might want to touch or look at during your journey for grounding or comfort are very welcome. We will discuss this further during your preparation session.

We understand that the idea of a group journey can be intimidating! Group sessions can be incredibly transformative and offer their own kind of magic, creating opportunities for individual and collective healing and meaningful connection. At the same time, they are not the right fit for everyone. If you sense that another person’s process or presence might pull you away from your own inner work, an individual session may offer a clearer, steadier container for your journey.

Let’s chat and figure that out. Psilocybin is safe and beneficial to most people but there are a few limitations to who Oregon Psilocybin Services has stated do not meet criteria for psilocybin services at this time. Risk factors include family history or current diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder or psychosis, recent or current suicidal ideation, pre-existing heart conditions or blood pressure issues and being on some medications. We would love to talk through this further with you. We want to make sure we are a mutual fit.

Additional integration sessions can be purchased for $185 per one hour session.
Check with your facilitator as occasional group integration circles may also be available.
If you already have a therapist at home and would find it helpful, we would be happy to connect with them but ultimately we believe that your integration journey is your own and it will unfold as it needs to. Integration is a lifelong process and our belief is that it never stops.
