Microdosing Retreats Around The Globe

microdosing retreat

Microdosing retreats around the globe vary from country to country. While there are undoubtedly some sketchy retreats, finding bad reviews or questionable-looking websites helps you avoid them in your search. As far as reputable microdosing retreats go, there is no good or bad. It’s all a matter of preference.

You can find microdosing retreats tailored to women or specifically LGBTQ+ friendly. Most offer vegan and vegetarian-friendly food, but some only provide that. Some microdosing retreats around the globe want you to discover your spiritual self and awaken your inner world. Others consider that “woo” and instead use Western psychology and medicine to approach the microdosing experience.

What’s fantastic about microdosing retreats around the globe is you don’t have to pick one. You can cater to your tastes or get out of your comfort zone. You can find a retreat specializing in microdosing or one offering both micro and full dose ceremonies. Your options are endless so let’s dive into what some of the best microdosing retreats around the globe look like.

What is Microdosing?

Microdosing is taking a small amount of a psychedelic, although one isn’t limited to psychedelics.

For example, suppose you have seasonal allergies and take an antihistamine for a runny nose. In that case, you could microdose it by taking half the dose. This might not work for some. But for others with milder allergies (and sensitivity to the drowsiness antihistamines cause), microdosing allergy medication is a sensible solution.

Likewise, not everyone wants to feel the effects of LSD or psilocybin “magic” mushrooms. That’s where microdosing comes in. Taking five mcg of LSD compared to 150 mcg is like dipping your finger into a cup of coffee for your morning caffeine fix.

Five mcg of LSD won’t have you in the fetal position somewhere, hallucinating your worst fears. But it also won’t send you sky-high full of feelings of euphoria and oneness. Instead, it’ll have you feeling more focused, well-off, creative, motivated and productive.

Microdosing provides many of the same positive health benefits larger doses of psychedelics have. When you microdose, your overall cognitive function improves. The brain forms new neural pathways. That’s partly why microdosing retreats around the globe are so unique. They’re not always your typical retreat!

What is a Microdosing Retreat?

Microdosing retreats around the globe vary from place to place. But in general, they provide peace and quiet, privacy and seclusion from the outside world and, sometimes, even solitude from others at the retreat.

Other retreats are more group-based. Regardless, a microdosing retreat is like a vacation that engages the mind and body. They are sanctuaries from the modern world. A lot of microdosing retreats offer yoga and meditation classes. Many provide plant-based vegan-friendly meals as well.

A microdosing retreat can be a spiritual experience where you connect with your inner self and the world around you. Or it can be more like medical detox, where you’re there to heal and remove temptation from your daily life. Where microdosing is part of the treatment.

Some microdosing retreats highlight full dose and microdosing ceremonies. Others highlight other aspects of the retreat, with microdosing being one of many services offered.

This place is ideal for local Europeans wanting to try a microdosing retreat and reconnect with nature but without the costs and other hassles that come from flying overseas.

In Summary

Microdosing retreats around the globe vary from place to place. They can range from small-scale adventures where microdosing is just one of the many things you can experience. To retreats where microdosing is the experience. Some take on a more medical/healing clinic feel. In contrast, others embrace the mystical side of life and focus on cultivating our inner power.

There is no good or bad microdosing retreat – it’s all about what works for you. Many retreats are vegan-friendly, but maybe you desire meat on the menu. Perhaps you’re not interested in “new age” mystical retreats and prefer a microdosing retreat based on Western science and psychology. Whichever you choose, there’s a microdosing retreat out there waiting for you!
