A Vital Journey
Good Hope Jamaica
31 August - 5 September 2023
Immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of hills, rivers, and grazing wildlife, while reconnecting with the resilient spirit within. Uncover the transformative power of nature and embark on a safe and legal magic mushroom retreat at our idyllic center, where healing, restoration, and celebration await.
Our Setting
Good Hope is a 2,000-acre property; in the gorgeous Jamaican countryside. With hills and vales and a river running through it, with animals grazing and the sun shining on the green tropical landscape - you are called to slow down the pace and listen to the song of life.
From the historic seaport town of Falmouth, the villa is 5 miles into the island’s interior, bordering the magical Cockpit Country region. The Cockpit Country is the natural habitat for most of the island’s endemic flora and fauna. The landscape is dramatic with its green conical-shaped hills, valleys, caves, and rivers.
Good Hope is a place to remember the essential playful and resilient nature of the human spirit- to open the heart, to heal, restore, and ultimately, to celebrate.
Spaces to Play and Sleep
We will have exclusive use of Good Hope Estates for this Journey, and the grounds offer three beautiful areas with rooms, living spaces, pools, and community gathering areas for you and your fellow sojourners to connect.
The Coach House sits on a hill with breathtaking views of the magical Cockpit Country Mountains, the Queen of Spain Valley, and the meandering Martha Brae River. Beautiful in her elegance and relaxed in her cool energy, the Country House calms and enlivens with its open and spacious layout.
