Other Participants’ Experiences

Conscious Growth - psychedelic psilocybin retreat participant experience and testimonial
Had an incredibly well-structured retreat experience with Conscious Growth. All facilitators are deeply compassionate and professional. I appreciated how the preparation, location, facilitation of the retreat, and integration were all well-prepared, and everything was announced and explained properly. I was a bit apprehensive throughout the entire process but the team managed to make me feel safe. I truly value the highly respectful and gentle way of accompanying me during the whole process. Highly recommend!

Conscious Growth - psychedelic psilocybin retreat participant experience and testimonial
I’m grateful to have been part of this retreat. The facilitators create an environment where it feels safe to simply be yourself and open up to a transformative experience. Their ability to be fully present while still giving you all the space you need is remarkable. The carefully chosen location and the delicious food complete the experience. I can highly recommend it.

Conscious Growth - psychedelic psilocybin retreat participant experience and testimonial
Not enough words. Everything that was, said, done, prepared and executed by the facilitators was done with love, dedication, professionalism and sincerity. As a result, I achieved not what I thought I wanted but what I needed for myself to help me through at this point in my life. The experience itself was revealing and magical! During the ceremony I was fully supported, in short, by genuine competent folks who know what they are doing … professional to the core but yet sensitive as any sentient being can possibly be. I was touched by their humanity and dedication to my betterment. Excellent – do it!

Our Team

Joan Sirera

Co-founder & Lead facilitator

Joan is a Gestalt psychotherapist trained in ketamine-assisted therapy. He holds certifications in trauma work, therapeutic dreamwork and somatic sexuality. Over time he has developed a holistic approach, integrating humanistic psychotherapy with body awareness, meditation and creative exploration. He is especially skilled in facilitating personal growth through artistic expression and facilitates retreats internationally. His main expertise is in the use of expanded states of consciousness to enhance human potential.

His interest in creativity led him, in the past, to study performing arts and later to start a solo music project, which is an expression of a lifelong relationship with music. This ongoing creative practice shapes how he facilitates the retreats for artists: not as an outside guide, but as someone who knows, from the inside, what it means to search for a voice, lose it, and find it again. He holds space for participants to meet their own source of creativity, wherever it lies. You can hear his latest music here.

Michael Conti

Co-founder & Lead facilitator

Michael is a registered consultant psychotherapist and clinical supervisor working from an integrative somatic perspective. Trained in EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and somatic sexuality, he specialises in working with expanded states of consciousness, trauma, and gender and sexuality with a particular focus on the LGBTQIA+ population. He is the author of the book Living Better with Yourself – A Practical Guide to Embodied Growth and runs workshops internationally.

His own relationship to creativity runs through drawing, sculpture, writing and design, and it often finds its way into his therapy work. For Michael, creativity is a way of giving form to what lies deep within us: a means of giving form to raw emotion. He brings this same sensitivity to the retreats by helping participants find the particular form their own creativity is asking to take.
