Mushroom Awakening Transformation Philosophy

Maximizing Transformational Impact

Our aim is to maximize the level of sustainable transformation.

For this reason we aim to explore the most fundamental levels of transformation, in accordance to the Logical Levels of Learning. This philosophy was first introduced by Gregory Bateson in the mid-1900s and later expanded into the Logical Levels of Change by Robert Dilts in the 1980s.

The Bateson model emphasizes that human behavior and learning are best understood holistically, as each level, from environment and behavior to capabilities, values, and identity, is interconnected.

Lasting transformation usually occurs when change starts at higher levels, such as identity or values, because these shifts naturally cascade down to influence behaviors and skills. Whereas altering only the environment often produces temporary results.

– The Transformation Trinity, We Work With –

Based on the Logical Levels of Bateson and core Life principles, we developed the trinity of transformation, primarily targeting the higher levels of learning and change, such as purpose, identity, beliefs and values.

Underneath you read about the three main pillars, we built our psilocybin assisted retreat programs on.

– The Witness –

Awakening as the Witness to Your Life. Discover your essential nature beyond the person you are taught you are. By questioning your automatic identification with your body and mind, the attachment to the conditioned persona and its struggles gradually dissolves.

This ego-transcending state, often referred to as enlightenment, Self realization, ego-death or Buddha state, brings a deep sense of freedom, compassion, playfulness and inner peace.

Mushroom Awakening psilocybin retreat in Costa Rica its first principle is Awakening as the Witness of life, rather than being the little individual

Mushroom Awakening psilocybin retreat in Costa Rica its second principle is learning to trust the body to heal itself if we treat it well and open up to what appears and disappears, while it unwinds

– The Healer –

Trusting the Body’s Wisdom: Healing through support & surrender to what comes and goes. This principle is rooted in the deep trust that the body and psyche can heal themselves when the ego steps aside. A loving, safe, and accepting space invites the system to naturally unwind, rebalance. The process involves observing and transforming mental patterns, beliefs & values and releasing physical tension, so that the body returns to its natural state of alignment & peace.

– The Guide –

Following Your Inner Compass to Authenticity. This principle teaches you to recognize and start aligning with your Inner Compass, the whisper inside, a natural, intuitive sense of truth, direction and Purpose. By sensing and following this inner guidance, you align thought, feeling, speech and action with the heart’s direction. You build self-trust, inner peace, resilience and a strong sense of empowerment. You are actively embodying your authentic Self, creating space for heart-centered aligned living rooted in deeper inner connection, surrender and trust.

We introduce these principles throughout the program, as many of our modalities are rooted in them.
A central element is reconnection to the body. It’s the gateway to deeper self-awareness. The body continuously reflects what supports or drains us; learning to listen to it is key to lasting transformation.

High performance often comes at the cost of physical and mental well-being. During the retreat, you’ll learn how to rebalance both, aligning your priorities to achieve sustainable performance. This integrated approach naturally leads to higher effectiveness, greater clarity, and lasting fulfillment in both your personal and professional life.
