At RISE Collective, we’re much more than a typical psychedelic retreat. We are a collective of highly skilled and intuitive individuals, including licensed therapists, legacy practitioners and healers and skilled operational staff, bringing together decades of rich, diverse experience in this work. Our offerings have been honed over many years of working side by side, and it shows in every detail.
With us, you’re not engaging with industry newcomers; you’re in the hands of seasoned professionals who have walked this path many times before. Whether you join us for a private day session or a multi-day retreat, on your own or with a small group, our core team is at the heart of it, and we bring in the practitioners best suited to your needs.
Our success is built upon three key pillars: Preparation in advance of your experience; the Experience itself, held in a safe, supportive setting; and thoughtful Integration afterwards.
Your well-being, in mind and spirit, is at the heart of everything we do, and we tend to every detail so you can turn inward and trust the process.
Our programming and operations are based on clinical-quality standard operating procedures and protocols, developed over many years with experts in the field. We prioritize safety and harm reduction, and our work honours both what scientific research shows and what the traditions have always known. We are grounded in research and guided by community medicine and care.
1. Careful screening
Every client journey begins with our intake form, followed by a discovery call and a screening conversation with our founder. Our intake is based on a psychosocial or Whole Person approach, considering physical and mental health history, medications, goals and more. This helps us make sure we can support each client well, and that this is the right path for them.
2. Thorough preparation
We make sure our clients feel ready. Before their experience, each client and their facilitator set intentions, talk through any questions and walk through what to expect.
3. Experienced people in the room
Our clients are in experienced hands. Our facilitators bring backgrounds in psychotherapy, clinical counselling, clinical research and traditional and ceremonial practice. Private sessions are always led by two facilitators, so the client is supported every moment of the session.
4. A curated setting
Each space is chosen with care. Every detail of set and setting is considered, from the privacy and comfort of the room to the harm-reduction principles and quality of care at its core.
5. Integration that lasts
The journey doesn’t end when the session does. Every client receives two integration sessions over the following month, plus ongoing access to our collective to help carry new insights into everyday life.
