Psychedelic Plant Medicine: Integrating the Modern and the Ancient

Embark on your transformational journey with Dimensions Retreats at Good Hope Estate, in Trelawny, Jamaica.

Dimensions will conduct an eleven-week ASCEND self-betterment program this December. One week of each program features an experiential psychedelic Retreat of seven nights in Jamaica at Good Hope Estate.  The ASCEND Retreat is held in a uniquely western container: it is informed by neuroscience, supported by rigorous health and safety protocols, and is one of five foundational well-being programs developed by Dimensions’ team of clinical experts. The Retreat’s five-star environment and psychotherapeutic intensity is a ground-breaking opportunity to leave the everyday behind and begin your journey to self-betterment. Pause, reflect, and connect to an enhanced sense of purpose.

Through four weeks of guided preparation, seven nights spent in Jamaica on Retreat featuring a combination of psilocybin psychedelic plant medicine ceremonies, community and complementary mind-body practices, and six following weeks of guided integration you will open yourself to new ways of being and explore expanded states of consciousness. Mystical and spiritual experiences lead to an understanding that we are connected to a greater unified consciousness and help you uncover what it means to live authentically.

Dimensions respects the lineage of plant medicine. Their ongoing commitment to reciprocity ensures that 4% of all revenue generated from every ASCEND stay at Good Hope remains within the host community.

RETREAT

Dimensions Retreats combine ancient practices with modern neuroscience, braiding the practices of poly-vagal theory (calming the nervous system, pendulation of emotional states, self-regulation, titrating approaches to challenging material and stored trauma) with psychedelic plant medicine, all within the context of nature-oriented retreats. In this way, Dimensions leverages the healing power of nature with the transformational possibilities of psychedelics, couched within a supportive, guiding, safe and informed therapeutic environment oriented towards calming and restoring self-regulation to the nervous system.

Your ASCEND Retreat includes seven nights of all-inclusive accommodations featuring:

  • Private accommodation
  • Three progressive Plant Medicine Ceremonies
  • All meals and snacks
  • Two, three-hour group relational somatic psychotherapy sessions
  • Daily Nature Therapy
  • Three individual massages
  • Three wellness activations (movement practices, bodywork, yoga, meditation)
  • Daily morning group movement and meditation
  • Local Airport transfers

RESET

Make time for a Reset. Increased urbanization, decreases in horticulture, deforestation, loss of bio-diversity and human dependence on information technologies, electronic devices and the looming meta- verse have increasingly created a widespread nature-deficit disorder while increasing anxiety, sensory overload and dysregulating nervous systems. A loss of contact with natural rhythms, including death and decomposition, contribute to a lack of understanding of natural processes in the human experiences, including the constancy of change, the cyclical nature of life processes and the patterns of connectivity which create and sustain life itself.

TRANSFORM

Dimensions retreat participants return home not simply with transformational experiences, but with a clear plan to sustain life improvements. Integration at Dimensions includes an after-care plan with specific attention directed at the following areas: diet and nutrition, movement and exercise, personalized meditation, visualization and movement practices, access to curated Dimensions playlists, mudras and chants to practice, plans for integration therapy, herbal and supplement planning, virtual group sessions and plans for follow-up and check-ins with Dimension’s therapists.

*Retreat participation is based on assessment.
