Atman Retreat

Update (November 2026): Atman’s website now states: “Atman’s Jamaica retreats ended in 2023. Atman Retreat is now part of Odyssey, offering legal psilocybin retreats and private sessions in Oregon and Colorado, USA.” The description below is of the Jamaica program as Atman published it and is kept for reference; it is not currently offered.

Atman Retreat ran 4-day, 3-night group psilocybin retreats at a private gated villa near Montego Bay, Jamaica, founded in 2018 by Aaron Nesmith-Beck. Retreats took up to 12 participants supported by three facilitators and two additional staff, and included a group psilocybin session, guided preparation and integration activities, one-on-one facilitator check-ins, accommodation, meals and airport transfers.

Atman’s materials state that retreats were held in Jamaica, where psilocybin mushrooms are legal. The application process addresses contraindications — the FAQ notes that people with personal or family histories of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other psychotic conditions may be at risk — and the operator states a covering physician is on call throughout psilocybin sessions. Facilitator bios published on the site describe master’s-level qualifications in psychology and social work, Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy training, and MAPS-associated training backgrounds.

Published pricing was USD $2,295 (approx. A$3,365*), with a limited low-income rate of USD $395 (approx. A$579*); flights are not included.

The Jamaica venue is still described on parts of Atman’s site, but prospective participants are directed to Odyssey’s group retreats and private sessions in the United States.

This program was held in Jamaica, where psilocybin is not a prohibited substance. Psilocybin remains a prohibited substance in Australia outside the authorised clinical pathway. Australians travel at their own responsibility; this is not medical advice.
