Let the Magic Flow

In the heart of Andalusia's breathtaking Alpujarra mountains, nestled within the tranquil embrace of nature, lies an invitation to reconnect with who you truly are. Root to Rise is more than a retreat—it's a space where your natural magic can flow freely, where your energy clears, your senses awaken, and you can simply be.

This soulful weekend at the peaceful villa 'Bari Ushibu' creates a cozy bubble away from everyday life—a rare opportunity to reconnect with your body, your breath, your rhythm, your truth and your sparkle. Through a carefully crafted blend of deep rest, conscious movement, psilocybin wisdom, holistic treatments and embodied practices, we create space for you to truly let go, allowing your nervous system to reset and your authentic self to emerge.

“Come as you are, we will meet you there.”

Claire Fitzmaurice.

We welcome free spirits, couples, best friends, soul family—everyone who arrives with curiosity and an openness to explore new possibilities.

  • “One of the most unforgettable experiences was Ceremony Day. Yvan and Claire guided us through an extraordinary ritual—setting the energy in the room with recitations, drumming, candlelight, and more. The entire experience was surreal, powerful, and deeply transformative. I will never forget it, and I can’t wait to experience it again.”

Why Psilocybin?

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, has been used for thousands of years as a powerful medicine for expansion and personal growth. Modern research is now catching up with ancient wisdom, showing remarkable benefits for mental wellbeing and consciousness exploration.

In our carefully held ceremony, psilocybin could help:

*Reset your nervous system - releasing stored tension, anxiety and trauma


*Expand your awareness - opening new perspectives on life and relationships

*
Deepen self-connection - reconnecting you with your truest self

*
Process emotions - allowing stuck feelings to move and transform


*Enhance creativity - unlocking fresh insights and inspiration


*Connect with nature - feeling your place in the web of life


*Break limiting patterns - seeing beyond old stories and beliefs

The magic happens not just during the ceremony, but in the integration that follows. That's why our weekend includes gentle practices, sharing circles, and plenty of time to process and embody your experience.

Psilocybin is a powerful ally when approached with respect, intention, and proper guidance.

Your Weekend Rhythm

The retreat flows naturally, adapting to the energy of the group and the moment. While each day unfolds intuitively, here is a sense of how the weekend could evolve…

Friday:

Hello Beautiful Souls

From 3pm onwards - Your adventure begins as you arrive at our mountain sanctuary. After settling in, we gather for an opening cleansing circle that sets our collective intention and creates meaningful space for the weekend ahead.

As evening falls, we nourish our bodies with wholesome, delicious food. The night flows into pure magic with gentle chill-out yoga accompanied by sound bath, intuitive energy alignment and soothing aromatic resins.

Saturday:

Where the Magic Happens

We start the day with movement, conscious breathing and meditation to align your energy for the day ahead.

You'll receive a gorgeously grounding shiatsu session and energy alignment (lovingly included), preparing your body and soul for the evening's ceremony.

As evening approaches, we gather for our Cacao and Psilocybin ceremony—the heart of our weekend together. Each soul receives an individually dosed, intuitively guided experience held in the embrace of nature. Our calm small-group approach honors the deep wisdom of psilocybin, creating a safe space where profound expansion and true healing can naturally evolve.

Sunday:

Integration with Love

Sunday morning welcomes you back with gentle breath, movement, and meditation. We gather for a beautiful Lotus flower tea ceremony followed by an openhearted sharing circle, where insights and experiences can be witnessed and honored.

The afternoon flows freely—rest by the pool, take mindful walks by the river, connect with fellow souls, or simply be.

Optional 1:1 holistic treatments are available from our intuitive therapists for those wanting to go deeper (not included)

Our day closes with one final delicious meal together followed by a guided meditation accompanied by sounds and aromatic resins.

Monday:

Sweet Farewells


Carrying the Magic Forward - Our final morning together includes gentle practice and nourishing breakfast before we say our goodbyes by 11am, each carrying their own Conscious Evolution forward into their daily life.

““Our work is to guide you; your work is to let go. Here, you can reconnect with the joy and magic of life in its purest form—a place to rediscover laughter, balance, and the beauty of simply being. In this welcoming space, you’ll find the freedom to embrace your own Conscious Evolution, opening the door to a new life of joy, connection, and incredible possibility.”

  • Spain has a more relaxed legal approach to psilocybin (the active compound found in nature’s magic mushrooms) than many other countries, particularly when it comes to private, personal use. Psilocybin mushrooms are not legal to sell, but possession for personal use is not treated as a criminal offence, and ceremonies are held with this understanding.

    At our retreats, psilocybin is never sold or exchanged commercially — it is offered as a sacred and loving gift within a safe, supportive setting. Everything is held with care, respect, and responsibility.

    We encourage all participants to do their own research into the legal and cultural context of psilocybin so they can make informed choices for themselves.

Each session offers focused, one-on-one care, helping you reconnect with your body on a deeper level while supporting both physical and emotional healing. These therapies are seamlessly woven into the retreat experience, aligning your body and mind into homeostasis and creating a powerful foundation for your healing and evolution.

  • The ceremony typically lasts about six hours. It begins with a focus on deep personal healing and naturally transitions into a more uplifting phase, featuring music, often dancing, and a free-flowing atmosphere to help you process and integrate the experience.

Many participants find that these moments give way to feelings of clarity, joy, and deep connection by the end of the experience.
