Karin Wenger28 June 2024One Retreat has been a deeply transformational experience for me - this was only possible because of the care, preparation and guidance of the One Retreats organizers. I can wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone who is seeking clarity or change in his or her life.Lindsay Banta27 June 2024My experience at ONE retreats in Jamaica was magical! Not only is it held at a beautiful resort in Jamaica, the people putting on the retreat were incredibly beautiful humans. You feel so held, supported and accepted. I left Jamaica and this whole experience feeling lighter, happier and overall healthier. I am forever grateful for giving myself the gift of this retreat!Judson Kauffman29 May 2024This team is professional and loving. It is rare in this industry to have both the quality of astute management and deep connection, but they have it!Michael Cross28 May 2024One of the most amazing experiences of my life. Kevin, Vee and the rest of the amazing team are some of the most loving and caring people I have ever met. They care deeply about what they do and sharing it with othersArmin Rakhshandeh27 May 2024A place filled with love, care, professionalism, and trust. Highly recommended for self-discovery, with amazing community support. You won't feel alone there.Rob Fee27 May 202410/10 absolutely loved the team and the entire experience! The food at the resort was INCREDIBLE and while the facilities could use some renovations you really can’t beat the amazing staff especially Eleanor who might be an actual angel. Really can’t describe how perfectly they plan out your week and guide you through every step so beautifully. Would recommend to any and everyone to do this fantastic retreat.Robert Pettinelli19 May 2024Impossible to describe with words what took place here….such a profound experience. The love, peace and joy….all I can do is smile. Beyond grateful for the facilitators here, everything contained in the setting and every beautiful soul that was present during my journey. Transformational. I wish I had more hands to share this with!!!!John Chappell19 May 2024The accommodations were fantastic The food and cooks were great. This experience change my life for the positive. We are coming back Miss the staff, made life long friends Respect.Jesse Houseknecht19 May 2024An absolutely incredible experience that will change your life in more positive ways than can be described. The staff show an incredible passion for their work that brings so much hope and peace to those fortunate enough to go on the journey. A beautiful experience!Mia Sethi6 April 2024This retreat was life changing. I've segmented this review into three sections: The Team, The Place, and The Medicine. The Team: Vee, Kevin, Sita, Abi, and Ari are an amazing and supportive team - they eased any concerns I had and were patient with my anxieties around plant medicine. The groups are kept small which meant there was always someone available for support if I needed it. This ratio contributed to deeper connections with the team facilitators as well as among the group participants. The Place: The retreat is beautiful with both ocean and forest views. I felt connected to the surrounding nature which proved to be an important part of my own healing process. I loved that the yoga and breathwork sessions were held outside and next to the ocean. There is a calmness in the environment that is particularly soothing, especially if you come from a big city like I do. The Medicine: Plant medicine has awakened me to a new way of living, with significantly reduced depression and anxiety, and on a higher vibration. I wish this had been available to me decades ago. I learned that plant medicine is deserving of our upmost respect and humility – it will guide you to answers but it is also hard work with beautiful rewards. One difference between One Retreats and the other plant medicine retreats I researched; Indigenous practices pertaining to plant medicine are baked into the entire experience, and I left with a newfound respect for non-traditional approaches to mental health and for the plant itself. Other retreats seemed sanitized and disconnected from the indigenous roots of plant medicine. I understand that I am still a tourist but somehow at One Retreats I did not feel that way. I am truly grateful to One Retreats and the wonderful connections I made there. I am looking forward to my next visit – I don’t think one experience there was enough.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5,

EXCELLENTBased on 8 reviewsVerifiedDarnette H2024-07-02Magic 🍄 Jamaica Retreat One Retreats has awakened my soul❤️. Kevin, Vee, their amazing team, and facility staff are so good at what they do. From the exploration call, to when you depart to return home, they gently guide, hold safe space, and encourage you as you journey where the medicine takes you. Because of this experience I have new beautiful life long friendships. We have a bond that will not be found in other circles. I will 💯 be returning to the magical country of 🇯🇲 Jamaica. And for those who are ready to receive the power of the mushroom 🍄 book your One Retreat today! Allow them to help facilitate you on your healing journey. We all need this♥️. One Love!VerifiedGuide696702024-07-01An enlightening experience nestled in a gorgeous place. The One Retreat was my first experience. I enjoyed the setting, care, attention to detail, experience, staff and rhetoric food. Special attention was put in curating every part of the experience. I am thankful I had the opportunity to have such a wonderful endeavor. It’s saying reunion 😉. Thank you to The One Retreat Team! Kevin, Vee, Ari, Abi, Carla. Scott. Also the staff at the resort!VerifiedBrian2024-06-28Try ONE Retreats in Jamaica, you won't regret it. I had been to Jamaica many times in the past, and knew it was truly a paradise island. I wanted to go back to Negril, but being a solo traveler, I also wanted find some connection with the people I would meet there. ONE Retreats served this purpose perfectly. The retreat guests became an instant family-like social group, while the retreat staff saw to all our needs. The ONE Retreats team provided a perfect environment and excellent guidance during each journey. For me the journeys were profound, and healing to a large degree because of the knowledgeable and caring support provided by the team. Between the journey days, the planned activities were relevant, useful and fun. I stayed in Jamaica several days after the retreat ended, which allowed me to contemplate and integrate the retreat experiences while they were fresh, without the inevitable distractions waiting back home. I want to do it again and stay longer!VerifiedKarin2024-06-28A life changing experience In May we took part in a five day magic mushroom retreat at One Reatreats in Jamaica. What happened in these days was a life changing journey with the help of the magic mushrooms and under the caring and professional guidance of the One Retreats staff. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to explore his mind and travel to far corners of his life and mind in order to find new pathways, creative ideas and healing.VerifiedArmin R2024-06-27The real deal A place filled with love, care, professionalism, and trust. Highly recommended for self-discovery, with amazing community support. You won't feel alone there.VerifiedNoraisgrate2024-06-27What I didn’t know I needed I did a lot of research before choosing where to do my retreat. As soon as I spoke with Vee and Kevin at ONE Retreats, I knew I had found the right place. I was nervous, and their warmth and kindness immediately put me at ease. I felt supported and cared for even before the retreat began. Once arriving, everything was seamless. They have created a life changing experience that I will be forever grateful for—too profound to put into words. The entire team is extraordinary. As if that wasn’t enough, the location is incredible and the food amazing and nourishing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!VerifiedLindsay B2024-06-27Step out of fear and into love Beautiful location, beautiful people for a beautiful inward experience! ONE retreats provided me amazing support to dive deep into my healing journey. I feel lighter, happier and healthier than ever. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is open to enlightenment and a truly one of a kind opportunity.VerifiedTheresa K2024-06-26Amazing heart opening retreat!! What a beautiful experience! The staff and the people I met were amazing! Vee and Kevin have put their heart and souls into running this psilocybin retreat. I can't say enough about how wonderful the rest of the staff was including the other psychedelic assistants and the people who cooked our food and prepared our rooms. I felt held and loved. Love the new tribe I have been connected with! The journey continues and this retreat has opened a new space for healing. Thank you everyone!
