My Fabulous Experience at Beckley Retreats Jamaica

I recently had the incredible opportunity to travel to Jamaica for the Beckley Retreat—an experience I chose both as a personal growth journey and as a way to learn more about the therapeutic potential of psilocybin, also known as medicinal mushrooms. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left me with so much to reflect on and share. Keep reading for all the details on My Fabulous Experience at Beckley Retreats Jamaica!

Good Hope Jamaica

The Beckley Retreat Jamaica is held at a gorgeous private retreat center called Good Hope Jamaica located in the Trelawny. This intimate resort center is held on 2,000 acres of land with incredible views and experiences to explore. You feel as if you’re transported back in time as it’s very historic with gorgeous antiques, no tv’s or electronics really letting guests unwind and settle into nature with the most stunning setting and environment for the Beckley Retreat experience.

When I say the views were incredible, they were absolutely breathtaking every time you walked outside. Truly taking an adventure in nature’s playground! Above is the moody sky before a light rain. Remember, your’e in the jingle so the weather is hot and most days there was a light rain.

Charming Boutique Accommodations

Guests stay in charming boutique guest rooms and or cottages. I was in a guest room in the airy Coach House—all built with country-luxury in mind, complete with modern amenities and beautiful design touches. I was in a cozy room with two beds as I shared with another guest.

There were so many small details in this retreat that makes the experience that much more special.

Schedule for the Beckley Retreats

The Beckley Retreat in Jamaica is a 5.5-day, 6-night experience designed with incredible thought and care. I arrived on Sunday afternoon and departed Friday morning, and from the very beginning, the retreat’s structure made me feel supported and at ease. The first mushroom ceremony takes place on Monday afternoon, followed by a full integration day where you meet one-on-one with a personal guide or counselor to reflect on your experience, ask questions, and work through any concerns.

I am ready to begin my first mushroom experience. I was extremely nervous and scared to do this. Who wouldn’t’ be to try something new you’ve never done. However, I really enjoyed it and found it very spiritually and a great way to connect deeply to feelings I may usually not let out.

What I loved most was how the schedule balanced individual and group support. Beyond the private sessions, there are also two group integration gatherings where participants do exercises together and then break into smaller pods for deeper conversations. Going into this, I was nervous about trying mushrooms for the first time, but the thoughtful design of the program, paired with the supportive guidance offered throughout, truly put me at ease. Beckley deserves major credit for creating such a mindful calendar and for building such a strong support system for their guests before, during, and after the retreat.

On-site Experiences

The on-site experiences are just as magical: yoga, hiking trails, horseback riding, river walks, pottery lessons—all curated to help you reconnect with both nature and yourself. If you’re seeking a retreat that balances serenity with adventure, Good Hope delivers on every level.
