“I never really saw myself as someone who’d end up at a psychedelic retreat”
Anastasiya,41, a business owner, was carrying years of emotional weight. Grief had built up in her body. She felt like she was always in survival mode - the kind of burden that makes your body remember what your mind tries to forget.
But when she heard about ,something shifted. For the first time she felt ready. Not just curious. Ready.
Then, in the ceremony, something cracked open.
“I felt like I sided and came back in the same breath.” Waves of emotion moved through her and that emotional weight she carried for years? Gone. Not just better, gone.
The transformation didn’t stop there
Back in her daily life things that used to trigger her lost their power. “I was finally regulated, not reactive”. The hyper vigilance softened. sleep improved, anxiety lifted. “I stopped trying to control everything. I wasn’t gripping into things so tightly anymore”
But perhaps the deepest shift was self awareness.”with outer layers stripped away, I began to see parts of myself I hadn’t wanted to look at. I can see it clearly now, without the fog”.
Would she recommend it? “Absolutely. A hundred times yes”
Because here’s what Anastasiya knows now: “It’s about facing yourself and finally putting down what you’ve been carrying”
This is what’s possible when psychedelic medicine is held in the right container with clinical expertise and a space designed for genuine transformation. Anastasiya’s story reflects what we have seen in this work. When people are truly ready and the container is solid, profound healing and change is possible.
