Transform & Rise
Psilocybin medicine retreat
A full moon retreat in the Costa Rican jungle for those who are curious about the power of psilocybin plant medicine and the profound healing it can provide.
Tried it all and still stuck?
Maybe you’ve stood in front of the mirror after yet another failed relationship, a night you can’t remember, a job loss — or pushing yourself to the edge, undernourished and exhausted — and asked yourself if you’re finally ready for something to change.
And if you’re really honest with yourself… you already know the answer.
“You don’t have to keep doing this. You deserve better. You just have to choose differently.”
The medicine
Like a fresh coat of snow, it clears the slate.
The medicine guides you inward, revealing past experiences still shaping your life. It invites you to feel what was once held and understand the beliefs formed around it — so you can choose new beliefs and responses aligned with who you are now and the life you’re ready to live.
Given beliefs
What you inherited — shaped by your upbringing and the moments that left a mark.
Chosen beliefs
What you create through healing — aligned with the person you’re becoming.
Our mission
You are worthy
In one way or another, we all carry a sense of unrest within us. At our core, we long to embrace life fully — to feel at peace, aligned, and alive. Yet there are parts of us that hold us back: inner voices that say “you can’t,” emotions left unseen, waiting for our attention, our compassion, and our love.
You are not broken. You are capable of healing. You are worthy of the life you dream of.
We see you. We hear you. We are walking this path too. And together, we walk each other home.

From past guests
“A safer space I have never known.”
“It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I came away feeling lighter and more relaxed than I ever have before. My mind feels clearer, my pace of life has slowed in the most beautiful way… I made lifelong friends at this retreat who I now truly consider family.”
“Jill’s personal guidance began weeks before the actual retreat and continues to this day as the integration is ongoing. Her expertise in plant medicines is evident in how she prepares you. I am forever changed because of Jill.”
“From the very beginning I felt safe — like I could let my guard down. For the first time in a long time, maybe ever, I felt genuinely held and supported. I left feeling lighter, more connected to myself, and honestly just grateful.”
Your guide
Jill Ryan, founder of Receive
Jill’s path spans psychology, trauma, mental health, psychedelic medicine and body and energy work. Guests describe a rare mix of deep knowledge, patience, humor and genuine compassion.
“I’ve been there too. As I began to heal, I saw how deeply my past had shaped my life — and as I let go of what no longer aligned, everything began to change. Not by erasing my trauma, but by transforming it into strength, wisdom, and power. Now, I’m here to walk alongside you.”
with love, Jill
