In the third installment of our series reflecting on the recent experience of writer, podcaster, and Ceremonia alumni David Shapiro, we explore the structure and transformative aspects of this unique psychedelic retreat. The retreat begins with preparatory activities, including Zoom meetings and curated readings, followed by a five-day immersive experience with workshops, communal meals, and psychedelic ceremonies. Participants from diverse backgrounds report emotional and psychological relief, engage in deep self-exploration, and experience personal growth through a blend of spirituality and psychotherapy. Post-retreat integration extends the benefits with ongoing workshops and community services. Ceremonia combines ancient wisdom with modern insights to support personal transformation and community connection.
