MycoMeditations is a psychedelic retreat company located in Jamaica.

MycoMeditations has been in operation since 2014[1] and it is one of numerous retreat companies in Jamaica offering psilocybin mushrooms as a therapeutic service. Psilocybin mushrooms are legal for personal and commercial use in Jamaica.[2]

Their retreats involve private psilocybin therapy sessions, and integration through individual and group psychotherapy.[3] People reportedly attend MycoMeditations to treat mental health conditions, though there are no published clinical studies on their outcomes.[4] The company conducts safety screenings prior to people attending[5], as psychedelic therapy can be unsafe for some individuals.[6]

Numerous journalists have attended and reported about their experiences at the retreat, such as Decca Aitkenhead in the Sunday Times[7], Michael Verdon in Robb Report[8], and Charlet Duboc in VICE[9]
