Retreat Suitability Assessment — Vallarta Vitality
Vallarta Vitality

August 2026 — Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Some experiences don't
just change your mind.
They change everything.

You've felt it — the weight of patterns you can't shake, the sense that something deeper is waiting to be unlocked. A psilocybin retreat isn't a vacation. It's a threshold.

For those who are ready, it offers what few experiences can: profound clarity, emotional release, and a reset at the level of identity itself. This is the kind of work that moves the needle on everything else.

We take that seriously. Our nine-question assessment isn't a barrier — it's the beginning. It helps us ensure that if you walk through this door, you're walking in at the right time, in the right state, for the right reasons.

Your answers are reviewed privately by our team.
