Comment: Ok, this doesn't look promotional in tone to me, but it's still somewhat WP:ADMASQ-feeling. Can you give it another try? asilvering (talk) 19:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

MycoMeditations is a psychedelic retreat company located in Jamaica.
It asserts itself as one of the longest-running therapeutic psychedelic retreats in the world, having been in operation since 2014..[1] It is one of numerous retreat companies on the island utilizing psilocybin mushrooms, which are legal for personal use in Jamaica.[2]
The company provides private psilocybin therapy sessions, and integration through individual and group psychotherapy.[3] MycoMeditations has gained a reputation for providing psilocybin doses as high as 15 grams[4], as opposed to lower doses used in clinical studies[5]. People reportedly attend MycoMeditations to treat mental health conditions, though there are no published clinical studies on their outcomes.[6] The company conducts safety screenings prior to people attending[7], as psychedelic therapy can be unsafe for some individuals.[8]
Conde Nast Traveler included MycoMeditations in it's overview of top psychedelic travel experiences in 2024[9], and numerous journalists have attended and reported about their experiences at the retreat, such as Decca Aitkenhead in the Sunday Times[10], Michael Verdon in Robb Report[11], and Charlet Duboc in VICE[12]
