Medicines We Offer
-
M.D.M.A is a synthetic empathogen–entactogen (meaning “touching within” or generating empathy) known for inducing feelings of emotional openness, connection, safety, and well-being. While it is not classified as a “classic psychedelic,” it can reliably produce a profound altered state—marked by heightened body awareness and deep connection to one’s intuition or Inner Healing Intelligence (as some traditions describe the higher self). It is often described as a gentle, heart-opening, and compassionate medicine.
A growing body of clinical research highlights the therapeutic potential of M.D.M.A for conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety (including social and end-of-life-related distress). One key mechanism involves temporarily reducing activity in the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, which allows individuals to revisit and process traumatic experiences with more clarity, safety, and integration.
Onset: 30–60 minutes (oral)
Duration: 3–5 hours
-
An optional alternative we have available for this retreat is 3-MMC. 3-MMC is a synthetic empathogen or entactagon of the cathinone class with effects very similar to those of M.D.M.A. It increases the salience of positive emotions, while increasing tolerance for negative emotions. It inhibits shame and denial, making it possible to shine light on deeply suppressed or hidden memories.
When used therapeutically and/or relationally (in our group container for example), it helps voice or externalize the things we’ve been holding in for a very long time.
Onset of action: 30-60 minutes (orally)
Duration: 2-4 hours
