A retreat programme for women to come home to themselves

Supported by psilocybin, somatics, and sisterhood

The Reconnection is a 12-week, community-based women's psilocybin retreat programme that includes preparation, a five-day somatic and psilocybin retreat, and ongoing integration. It is designed to support healing, personal growth, self-discovery, and a deeper sense of connection.

In a world that so often asks women to do more and give more, The Reconnection offers a space to slow down, soften and reconnect with what matters most. A chance to step away from the demands and responsibilities of everyday life and settle into a slower rhythm, with time to rest, reflect and listen inward.

Women come to The Reconnection for many different reasons. Some long to reconnect with their bodies, intuition and inner wisdom, feeling that parts of themselves have been neglected or set aside for too long. Others are navigating life transitions such as motherhood, divorce, illness or menopause, recovering from burnout, moving through grief or questioning whether the way they have been living still feels right for them. For others, there is a longing for a deeper connection to themselves, to others and to the sacred. A desire to experience more joy, meaning, presence and ease in everyday life.

  • "What makes The Reconnection Retreat unique for me is that it’s not just about the psilocybin ceremony. It’s about everything that surrounds it; the community, the somatic practices, the preparation, the integration, and most importantly, the feeling of being held in a safe and non-judgmental space. There is something incredibly powerful about going through such a vulnerable experience surrounded by women who may have been strangers only a few days before, but somehow become part of your healing journey. I came for the ceremony, but I think the connection, trust and sense of sisterhood were just as transformative for me."

  • "TRE really surprised me. It was an incredibly powerful practice for me, and somehow it felt like it allowed me to connect with transgenerational trauma that existed before me. Sound healing was incredibly grounding. And I think, for the first time, I was able to dance without thinking and just let myself go. I normally never feel comfortable dancing, so that was quite significant for me. Overall, I can say that these practices prepared me very well for the ceremony."

  • "The union between science and heart, the rhythmic calibration that honored feeling and sensing, and the blend of ceremony and connection created the most genuinely incredible experience of my life."

  • "The combination of somatic practices, ceremony, and the beautiful connection with other women made this a life-changing experience. I felt safe to explore my vulnerabilities, and I’m walking away with a reignited sense of joy, love, and deep healing."

  • "It has been an absolute privilege to meet Laura and Lauren. Their deep wisdom, energy and openness made it such a fertile place for me to do my own work and gain my new insights. The balance between everything was just perfect. Thank you for being wonderful human beings able to hold dark and light, with lightness, joy and humour."

  • “The retreat gave me more than I expected - love, belonging, joy, and a renewed sense of lightness. I arrived feeling lost and left with exactly what I needed to guide me forward. A truly transformative experience.”

  • "I felt truly held in this safe and sacred container. The facilitators’ authenticity, experience, and deep compassion made all the difference. I’m leaving this retreat with a profound sense of sisterhood, joy, and healing that will stay with me forever."

  • "Reconnection is an understatement! The incredible professionalism and care offered in this remarkable retreat makes it a profoundly life altering few days. Run by four wonderful, experienced, warm women who deeply care for us."

  • "I really didn't know what to expect but for some reason I knew I needed to go. The space that was created, the trust and the breadth and depth of pure kindness blew me away. I think it is the best thing I have ever done - not that all of it was easy but when I needed help it was so tenderly and beautifully given. The respect of all parties towards each other allowed an openness to be created for sharing deeply personal issues and feeling totally safe, listened to, loved and understood by wonderful women.

  • "If you feel the calling, trust your gut instinct and follow your heart. It will open your mind and change your perspective on life. Something to treasure forever."

Co-founders: Lauren & Laura

The Reconnection was born from our friendship, passion, and a shared vision to support women through life’s transitions and challenges.

We met training to be yoga teachers in India in 2017 and have been walking our own life paths, side by side, ever since.

We bring together unique careers and shared backgrounds to blend science, somatics and sisterhood in a co-creation that is authentic and accessible for women.

“You are glorious wild and wonderful women and the synergy between you curates a beautiful safe space for magical transformations to happen. Your open hearts, care and compassion; your authenticity and humility; your passion for what you do, all combined with your wealth of knowledge, understanding and experience is awe inspiring. I am truly grateful that the universe brought you together to bring this incredibly important work to us sisters”
