This was a beautiful retreat filled with heart ❤️ felt opportunities. Good food. Space to rest and be. And of course working with the deep medicine of circle. Thank you. Carly for all your work to make this happen and for you all who have delivered the sessions.
This is one of those experiences that you will feel compelled to book, if it’s the right thing for you to do! Cae Mabon is a beautiful space, with elegant natural buildings, a stream running through the grounds, and a resident heron. The nearby lake is perfect for those who love a cold water swim. Arriving is quite an adventure with tight turns and a steep track, but totally worth it. The food for the retreat was prepared by an excellent team. Each meal was beautifully balanced showcase of how good plant based food can be. An eye opening experience for some of the omnivores 😉 There was enough for participants to have seconds if they wished. The group leader, and facilitators, were experienced, talented, knowledgable, joyful, and held the space well. Whilst there was a structure, there was flexibility once they knew the needs of the group. The weather also played a part in shifting the vague plan. Amanita was introduced to us in slow and thoughtful way over the days. Going into the week we had little expectation of what to expect. Ceremonial spaces, and integration circles, helped on an individual and group level. We were also given time to enjoy the surrounding area with woodland walks, hot tub, and exploration of the beautiful land. Overall, the week exceeded anything we had expected. There is still much processing and integration happening post retreat, but we are both forever grateful for having the opportunity to have been through this experience with so many wonderful souls. Note; attended as a couple.
Words cannot.begin to describe the time we shared together at Cae Mabon and each aspect of this retreat. Medicine for the soul and body in so many ways. The entire week from the application process, to arrival and the organisation flowed perfectly and Carly was on it with emails and details to make sure we all felt ready. Life changing for so many of us. Thankyou to all who organised and gave their time to hold this experience for us. I feel lighter, loved and like Ive made life long friends. My first time I've ever heard of the psychedelic society was little over a month ago and believe me, I'll be back for more.
The marketing said that it wasn’t a space for individual healing and all it was, was about personal healing and the container that allow this to happen! Perhaps it was the unforced hardly perceptible fluid attention to detail provided by our retreat director owl person Carly who seemed to be everywhere when needed and gently encouraging when not or retreat resident Sir Lawrence of Cae Mahon, lover of playful narrative and Celtic mythos in equal measure, with his proudly masculine strength and gentile sensitivity, providing a container for our need to let go and emotes and heal, however the the star of the show has to be Agnieszka, our enchantress, a real live Elemental, powerful healer and with the ability to transcend mortal life, bringing back to us, infecting us with her absolute steadfast devotion to her Mistress, the powerful and charmingly seductive Amanita, Queen of Fungi! Agnieszka and her beautifully able assistant Shamanistic lightworker Kate, worked tirelessly and with energy that was a force to behold, to teach, hold, heal and dazzle us with ritual, ceremonies and science, that only one who has a calling can do! Unfortunately and as the word gets out, she’ll be in such great demand, that we’ll never get to experience her magic again. A sentiment echoed through out by my fellow travellers! This review cannot be complete without a mention of the other alchemal ingredients, those amazing participants, every one of them, by being able to open themselves and their minds to such capable hands and of course without doubt the magic and mythos of the land called Cae Mabon! Eternal gratitude! It’s never really did what it said was on the tin, it did so much more!
Lovely people, beautiful ceremonies, powerful workshops, serene location.

A wonderful and magical experience that I can’t recommend enough. I’d like to shout out a huge thank you to Carly, Lawrence, Agnieszka, Kate and the rest of the team who helped make the retreat so meaningful and inspiring for me. I learnt so much about the woodland itself from mushrooms to birds, myths and history. Plus the wonderful nourishment that was provided by the talented kitchen staff. The daily ceremonies have helped me reflect within and grow as a person and I have taken away more than money can buy with the experience of being in such a beautiful and supportive community. I can hand on heart say it has transformed my future and to top it off I’ve made some wonderful new friends xx
A truly magical experience beautifully held by amazing facilitators at the most deeply rooted ancestrial haven I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Thank you for the love light and magic 🥰
