Each story is unique and encouraging

I enjoy each episode as they are released. As a former guest of Eleusinia, hearing these stories gives me the encouragement I need to keep going in my own healing journey. I enjoyed hearing more from Tyler, as I’d already gotten to meet him…hearing the cat meowing in the background of his episode made me smile. Everyone on the Eleusinia team have huge hearts for their guests and provide an excellent caring experience.

Remarkable Story

I just listened to the episode with Scott, the man who has cancer, who went to the retreat in order to see how psilocybin could help him face his future. It was remarkable. So much humanity and wisdom and courage and love. This retreat and the people who are drawn to it are amazing.
