Safety, screening and privacy

Held with care, from first message to integration.

What to know before you come, how guests are looked after, and how your privacy is protected.

Who this is right for

A good fit, honestly assessed.

Mycelia tends to suit adults who feel ready for reflection and change, who are in a reasonably stable place in their life, and who want time away with experienced people around them.

  • You're curious, open and ready to slow down
  • You're comfortable sharing your health history openly with Troy
  • You can give yourself time afterwards to rest and integrate
  • You're coming because you choose to, not because someone else wants you to
Who it may not be right for

When we may say not now.

Every guest is screened before a booking is confirmed. Some conditions and medications call for extra caution, or mean a retreat isn't the right choice for now. These include:

  • A personal or close family history of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
  • Significant heart conditions or uncontrolled high blood pressure
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Certain medications, including some antidepressants, lithium and some other prescriptions

This is general information, not medical advice. Please speak with your doctor before changing or stopping any medication, and share your full health history with Troy so he can guide you honestly.

How screening works

Four calm steps before you book.

Nothing is confirmed until you and Troy both feel it's right. You can ask questions or pause at any point.

  1. Apply. A short, private application about your journey, dates, intention and health.
  2. Private call. A private 20 minute call with Troy to talk it through and answer your questions.
  3. Health review. Your health history and any medications are reviewed carefully. Troy may suggest you speak with your doctor first.
  4. Confirmation. When it's a good fit, your dates are confirmed and you receive everything you need to prepare.
How guests are cared for

Legal and simple

Legal guided retreats in Jamaica.

Mycelia offers legal, guided retreats in the hills above Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and has welcomed guests since 2020. Everything happens openly, at a private villa, with an experienced team.

Laws differ from country to country. What applies in Jamaica applies to your time with us there.

Discretion and privacy

Your story stays yours.

  • Your application and messages are read only by Troy
  • If a friend invited you, they're credited, but never see your answers or messages
  • Shared links preview simply as a personal invitation to Mycelia
  • Health details are used only to make sure the journey is safe for you
  • You stay in a private room at a private villa, away from public view
  • Guest names are never published, and we never post about guests without their clear permission
For your partner or family
