When this work is not safe.
Psilocybin is not safe for everyone. The factors below may mean a retreat is not appropriate for you. This page is a reference, not a diagnosis, and is to be verified by our medical advisor.
Suitability is always decided through a personal screening conversation, never by a form. If any of these apply to you, tell us during screening so we can make a safe decision together. Do not stop any prescribed medication on your own. This page is not medical advice; consult your physician.
