"This was one of the most profound experiences of my life, and I tend to be a seeker of experiences. I've had a lot of very powerful group experiences, but I was blown away by this one. I didn't expect it to be as powerful. It was a wonderful way to cap the training. Now, in my reflection, I can't imagine going out and doing this work without having completed this part of the training."

"Watching Costanza and the entire team work together was definitely a learning curve for me. I have immense respect for the way they handle everything with grace. I learned many things there [...] We shared many beautiful, memorable moments together. Honestly, it's something I will never forget. Everything was welcomed and discussed, which truly shows how proficient the retreat team is at their jobs."

"There wasn’t an expectation that we’d be perfect, yet there was a high standard, demonstrated by how the team responded when we brought up questions. I think the genuine care for us permeated my experience both as an observer and as a witness to my colleagues who were learning alongside me. A sense of safety was always present, along with mutual engagement in our collaborative efforts. It all worked out really well because each person brought their unique gifts. Thus, there was a culture of kindness toward one another, and our gifts were truly appreciated. I could see this among the retreat leaders."

Costanza Di Prisco began working with psychedelics more than 12 years ago, initially as a participant, later as an assistant, then began training with shamans and healers, and eventually studied to become a Psychedelic Practitioner. Her last few years have been devoted to psilocybin, though she has worked with a variety of plant medicines. She is also a breathwork coach, working with the body’s knowledge to achieve understanding and promote healing. She has trained in Somatic therapy and Bioneuroemotion, a field that blends biology, neuroscience, epigenetics, NLP, and psychology. She received training in India to be able to instruct in meditation, yoga, and pranayama. She has finished a master plant dieta with Noya Rao and follows the tradition of the Shipibo from Peru in terms of shamanic techniques.
Her facilitation style combines ancient wisdom methods with cognitive therapeutic techniques from the West to produce powerful transformational experiences. When singing in ceremony, Costanza places emphasis on the healing potential of music. Her goal is to serve as a bridge for people seeking to start or continue their own journeys of self-discovery; creating safe spaces so others can engage in their psychedelic healing experiences feeling supported and empowered so their own inner wisdom can emerge.
