About us

The Toronto Psychedelic Society (TPS) is a diverse, multidisciplinary community of academics, students, researchers, artists, therapists, teachers, counselors and others with a shared interest in psychedelics. We seek to provide more opportunity for our members to learn more about the multifaceted aspects of psychedelics.
We are a community that contributes our passion, ideas and courage to help others heal, to support psychedelic science, to educate and inform, and to have the freedom to explore our own consciousness.
We have many communities of interest:

> Education: de-stigmatization, community, outreach, harm reduction
> Entrepreneurs
> Artists and musicians

> Science: psychedelic medicine , clinical research, fundraising

> Integration: therapy, consciousness, integration and psychology

> Events: communications, social media, and operations

We believe that psychedelics can be used safely when users are knowledgeable and informed. Stigmatization of users and half-baked ideas arise from ignorance. We believe in communicating fair and honest messages about the safe use of psychedelics.
We create safe spaces where we can have psychedelic conversations. We host spaces to talk about personal experiences, and sponsor supportive integration circles. We believe integration is the key to learning from psychedelic experiences.
We host a stage for the discussion and dissemination of psychedelic science. We support psychedelic research undertaken by MAPS Canada (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), Maps USA, The Beckley Foundation, The Heffter Institute and other sources of valid scientific enquiry.
We encourage engagement. We are a community of free-thinking, open- minded people. So engage with us!

Mushroom & Sweat-lodge Ceremony Retreat in Muskoka

Fri, Aug 21 · 4:00 PM EDT

Gravenhurst, ON, CA

Holding Your Feminine & Loving Your Shadow

Healing Mushroom Ceremony & Sweat-Lodge Summer Retreat August 21st-24th in Gravenhurst, Ontario

The Divine Feminine in every Man & Woman Deserves Space to Breathe, to be Honored & Revered & Completely Unleashed. It is the Masculine Within's Role to Meet Our Feminine Actually as She is, Listening, Nurturing & Beckoning Her Out of Her Cave.

Remember Who You Are,

Remember Where You Came From

Step away from the noise and re-enter the quiet ground of your own being. This retreat is an invitation to unplug from distraction, soften the nervous system, and come into a deeper, kinder relationship with yourself. Through spacious time in nature, guided practices, and honest community, you’ll remember what matters, reclaim your energy, be in tune with the resonance of the truth of your soul and listen for the soft voice within that knows the way.

What You’ll Explore (Themes)

Strong back, Soft front: Cultivating the Mature Masculine Container

Build a steady, reliable inner structure—clarity, boundaries, presence—that holds your life with integrity.
Develop the attentiveness and acute masculine listening to your feminine parts that are in need of loving attention and a deeper sense of safety
Develop nervous-system resilience through breath, posture, and stillness so you can meet intensity without collapsing or controlling.
Learn to lead yourself with devotion rather than demand, creating safety inside that allows authentic expression.

Unleashing the Feminine Within: Flow, Feeling, Creativity

Open to feeling states—joy, grief, desire—as sacred intelligence, not problems to fix.
Reawaken intuition and creativity through movement, voice, and play.
Access deeper states of pleasure and intimacy within yourself
Practice receptivity and surrender inside a trustworthy inner frame, letting aliveness move without losing yourself.

Loving the Shadow: Awareness, Acceptance, Integration

Bring gentle attention to exiled parts—defenses, fears, patterns of control—and meet them without shame.
Learn practical tools for shadow work: parts dialogue, compassionate inquiry, and repair rituals.
Transform reactivity into responsibility, weaving disowned aspects back into the wholeness of who you are.

How We’ll Practice

Morning stillness & graceful awakening: breathwork, meditation, kundalini yin yoga, sauna & lake swims as we ground to steady the inner container.
Transformational Healing Mushroom Ceremony for Somatic Release, Nervous System Reset, Energy Blockages Cleared Through, Remembering of The Ancient Wisdom of Your Soul
Strengthening Your Masculine Container to Hold & Awaken the Divine Feminine Within & Those Closest to You
Shadow integration circles: guided processes in a trauma-aware container, with clear boundaries and choice.
Nature immersion and silence: solo time on the land, journaling prompts, & free space to connect with pachamama
Ceremonial Sweat Lodge for Expression, Release, Clearing, Prayer & Renewal
Optional Cold Plunge for Deep Concentration & Recharge
Integrative Soundbath's to process our experiences and calm the nervous system
Intimate Sharing Circles to open up in honesty & authenticity to be held and celebrated as you process the emotions that are here for you and relate to others on a similar journey

What You’ll Take home

A felt sense of inner solidity—clear boundaries, calmer nervous system, and reliable self-trust.
Greater emotional fluency and creative flow without leaking energy or abandoning yourself.
Practical, repeatable tools for shadow awareness and integration you can use in daily life.
A sense of being at one with source, a renewed connection to purpose, and a rhythm of care that sustains you beyond the retreat.

Who This is For

Seekers, leaders, creatives, health, wellness & spiritual facilitators, caregivers & those ready to learn how to not be knocked over by their own or their partners oceanic emotions
Those that are ready to be served in their deepest needs and heartfelt desires & that are not longer willing to trade distraction for depth.
Anyone called to balance discipline with tenderness, structure with spontaneity, and responsibility with wonder.
Those wanting a compassionate, mature, and grounded space—free of posturing—to do real inner work.

The Invitation
Come home to the unshakeable within you. Strengthen the spine of presence that lets your heart open. Meet your shadow as an ally. Let the feminine currents of feeling and creation move freely inside a container worthy of your life. Leave with clarity, warmth, and practices that make your everyday a path of integration and joy.

Benefits of Psilocybin Mushrooms in a Ceremony Setting

- Neurogenesis "formation of new neural networks'
- Balancing & calming of your nervous system
- New insights around your thinking patterns due to seeing
yourself from a 3rd party perspective
- Supports with depression, anxiety & OCD
- Supports with understanding root cause of addictions
- Deep introspection into and gaining new insight around trauma

The dose will be determined on a person by person basis, based on past experience, your intentions, and where you're at in the moment.

Optional Pure MDMA or 2C-B

The ceremony includes the optional combination of pure MDMA or 2C-B along with the psilocybin mushrooms. We have found these medicines work very synergistically together, and offer an amplified level of heart opening & can ease anxiety for those with less experience. This is optional, and the dosing for both medicines will be based upon your intentions, disposition, prior experience, and current state at the time of the ceremony.

breakthrough drug status for MDMA.

Ceremony Preparation & Integration
Prior to the retreat we have a Connection/Intention Setting Call to get to know each other and why you are choosing this retreat. You will also receive an in-depth plant medicine workbook to help you prepare, questions to ask yourself and a recommended few small dietary changes to support your journey.
We prioritize space so we all can get to know each other before the ceremony to create a trusting, safe & expansive container for the experience. In this way we create our own little community, and the ceremony becomes that much more impactful and enriched.

In addition to the integration circle at the retreat space to support continued breakthroughs, challenges and dream weaving, we will also have a post-retreat group integration call to ensure all participants get the most out of the experience, and are supported in their integration process back home.

𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗦 & 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦
Rawaland is tucked in the heart of Muskoka, 2 hours north of Toronto, accessible only by water, Rawaland is not a retreat center.

It is sacred ground.

This land has held ceremony. It has absorbed prayer. It has witnessed souls break open and rebuild — not as performance, but as truth. Every fire that has burned here, every silence held in the sauna, every night spent under these trees has been an act of devotion.

What awaits you:
— Luxurious four-season tiny homes, built for comfort without compromise
— A traditional Tipi, standing as it has for generations of ceremony
— A wood-fired sauna, where the body releases what the mind cannot
— Open fire space, where beings gather, speak, and are heard
— Water access only — the journey in is the first initiation
This is not a venue. It is a pilgrimage.
Souls do not come to Rawaland to escape their lives. They come to remember who they are beneath the noise of them. The land holds that remembering. The brotherhood & sisterhood makes it permanent.
You are welcome here.
Not as a guest. As a soul coming home
