Beckley Retreats prices a whole program rather than a stay. Every price from $5,200 to $11,000 includes four weeks of online preparation, six weeks of online integration, two guided psilocybin sessions, accommodation, all meals and private airport transfers.
The alternatives split into three groups. Afterlight and ONE Retreats sit in Jamaica at nearly the same entry price as Beckley's Jamaica program. Synthesis and Essence Institute run Dutch group retreats at different points on the price scale. Entheogenesis and Triptherapie publish the lowest entry prices, in euros.

Contact usAfterlight runs retreats in Negril, Jamaica. Its Clinical Retreat lasts six days and five nights in a private oceanfront villa, is limited to 10 participants, and costs $5,500 USD per person with payment plans available. The price includes accommodation in a private room with an ensuite bathroom, breakfast and dinner, an airport transfer, preparation and integration sessions, and the psilocybin sessions. A 50 percent non-refundable deposit secures a place.
Afterlight also sells a one-day Clinical Intensive at $1,100 USD and a six-session online AfterCare program at $950 USD.
Worked example: the $5,500 Clinical Retreat works out to $1,100 per night over five nights, the same figure as Beckley's Jamaica shared-room program. Adding AfterCare brings it to $6,450.
Who it fits: people who want a Jamaica group capped at 10 with a private room included in the base price. Where it falls short versus Beckley Retreats: it lists breakfast and dinner rather than all meals, and its published aftercare is one online group session plus one 30-minute private session, with six-session AfterCare sold separately at $950. Afterlight describes itself as a clinical psilocybin therapy retreat, while Beckley states it does not provide medical treatment, so read each provider's own description before choosing.
ONE Retreats operates in Negril, Jamaica, and describes its psilocybin as legal in Jamaica. Its six-day group retreat is $5,550 USD per person, all inclusive. That price covers two guided psilocybin ceremonies, three meals a day, accommodation, two excursions, round-trip airport transfers, and online sessions before and after the retreat. Groups have eight spots. The next listed dates are 19 to 24 November 2026 and 13 to 18 February 2027. A $1,000 deposit holds a place, the $4,550 balance is due one week before the retreat, and payment plans are available.
Worked example: $5,550 over six days is $925 per day, split as $1,000 now and $4,550 a week before the retreat.
Who it fits: people who want one all-in price, including excursions, and a small Jamaica group. Where it falls short versus Beckley Retreats: ONE Retreats publishes a pre-retreat group session, a private call and one post-retreat group integration call, which is a lighter published structure than Beckley's four weeks before and six weeks after. ONE Retreats lists private rooms as available but publishes no price for them.
Synthesis runs its Immersion program in the Netherlands and states that the psilocybin truffles it serves are legal there. The program is described as seven weeks long. It combines three online group preparation sessions, a five-day retreat with two ceremonies, breathwork and one-on-one sessions, and three online group integration sessions. Tuition is $5,797 USD including VAT (value-added tax). Groups are 15 to 20 participants with one facilitator for every three to four participants. A $500 refundable deposit starts the enrollment, and a payment plan takes a 30 percent deposit with equal monthly installments due in full 60 days before the retreat. The next listed retreat is 6 to 10 April 2027.
Worked example: 30 percent of $5,797 is about $1,739, leaving about $4,058 in installments. Against Beckley's five-night Netherlands shared room at $6,000, Synthesis is $203 lower. Against Beckley's four-night shared room at $5,200, it is $597 higher.
Who it fits: people who want two ceremonies in the Netherlands inside a seven-week structure. Where it falls short versus Beckley Retreats: groups are larger at 15 to 20 participants, travel is excluded, and Synthesis publishes a single tuition figure.
Entheogenesis offers a three-day Macro Journey in the Netherlands built around a full-dose psilocybin truffle ceremony with live music. The exchange is €1,249 excluding VAT. Dutch VAT is 21 percent, so the arithmetic gives about €1,511 including VAT. It covers the retreat program, accommodation, vegetarian or vegan meals, preparation, integration and one 1:1 integration coaching session. Groups are 16 to 18 people. A private room with an ensuite bathroom adds €250 excluding VAT, subject to availability, and a €500 non-refundable deposit secures a place. The next listed dates after 13 to 15 November 2026 are 5 to 7 March 2027 and a women-only retreat on 25 to 27 June 2027.
Worked example: a private-room Macro Journey is €1,249 plus €250, or €1,499 excluding VAT.
Who it fits: people comparing the low-priced multi-day Dutch retreats that include a 1:1 session. Where it falls short versus Beckley Retreats: it has two weeks of preparation guidance and three weeks of integration rather than Beckley's four and six, one ceremony rather than two guided sessions, and a group larger than Beckley's.
Essence Institute runs three-day psilocybin truffle retreats in the Netherlands at two venues, Samaya near Utrecht and Athanor in Lochem. The Core Retreat is a group of up to 12 with one 6-hour ceremony and two nights of accommodation. It costs €2,050 in a shared room or €2,350 in a single room, including VAT. Truffles and all meals are included. Integration sessions are separate, at €150 each in a package of three or €175 for a single session. The Private Retreat costs €6,250 for one person with one facilitator, €7,800 with two facilitators, and €4,475 per person for four people with two facilitators. It adds two preparation sessions, three integration sessions and a taxi from Schiphol airport.
Worked example: a single-room Core Retreat at €2,350 plus a package of three integration sessions at €450 totals €2,800. The shared-room price over two nights is €1,025 per night.
Who it fits: people who want a smaller Dutch group, or a private retreat on their own dates. Where it falls short versus Beckley Retreats: the Core Retreat includes one ceremony and no integration sessions, and it is a shorter program than Beckley's. Its own pricing page says the Core Retreat sits above the typical Dutch three-day range.
Triptherapie arranges guided truffle sessions in the Netherlands, which it states are done legally using magic truffles. Its own price page lists two-day group ceremonies from €650 including accommodation, food and drink, and multi-day retreats from €1,150 including an additional integration day with two specialized therapists. Private sessions cost €750 to €950, and group sessions start from €650.
Worked example: the cheapest listed retreat at €1,150 is below the cost of Entheogenesis with VAT at about €1,511, though the programs differ in length and inclusions.
Who it fits: people who want a short ceremony or a one-to-one session. Where it falls short versus Beckley Retreats: the published prices are entry points, and the sessions are shorter than a five-night program.
Using only published prices and each provider's stated nights, these figures are arithmetic and exclude flights, extra nights and items billed separately.
Deposits differ too. Beckley takes 50 percent at registration, which is $2,750 on its $5,500 Jamaica shared room. ONE Retreats takes $1,000 and Entheogenesis takes €500.
Start with the total you can pay and the country. Jamaica options cluster around $5,500 to $5,550 at the entry price, so they do not save money against Beckley's Jamaica program. The Dutch options start lower, at €650 to €2,350, but they cover fewer weeks of structure. Add flights, extra nights, separately sold integration sessions and any room upgrade to each total.
Then compare the structure around the ceremony. Count the preparation and integration sessions each provider lists, the number of ceremonies, the group size and the facilitator ratio. Beckley publishes at least one facilitator for every four guests, while ONE Retreats and Entheogenesis publish group sizes of 8 and 16 to 18.
Finally, check payment and cancellation terms. Beckley's refund depends on the retreat date and a 14-day grace period, while Afterlight's and Entheogenesis' deposits are non-refundable. Use the retreat cost calculator to add travel and extra nights, and find a retreat to narrow providers by destination. For a wider list, see best psilocybin retreat centers.
Beckley Retreats fits you when the length of the structure matters more than the entry price. It publishes ten weeks of online work around the retreat, a 1:1 intake call, a screening and suitability call for every applicant, and two guided psilocybin sessions in a single program price. Its prices do not change by date, and it states a nurse is on site during every Jamaica session with a doctor on call.
It also fits you if you want a choice of country at one price list, or financial aid. Beckley lists more than $300,000 in program access awarded to 67 guests. A 50 percent deposit with monthly installments until 60 days before the retreat spreads the cost, and a flat $500 lets you move to another date before your retreat, subject to availability.
This page lists published prices and plan terms. It is not for readers who want a recommendation, a view on whether any psilocybin program is appropriate for them, a dosing or safety opinion, or legal advice. Those questions belong with a licensed clinician or attorney.
It also does not cover US programs, providers outside Jamaica and the Netherlands, and directories or booking marketplaces.
This comparison changes when a provider changes its public pricing. A price increase, a new retreat length, a change in what a base price includes, or a change in legal status in Jamaica or the Netherlands would alter the figures above. Updated figures reach this page through the listing-update link under the table, and the prices here are dated 2026-11-14.
Beckley Retreats and its alternatives sell the same kind of program at three price levels. Jamaica options from Afterlight and ONE Retreats start at $5,500 to $5,550, close to Beckley's Jamaica entry price. Dutch options start from €650 to €2,350, with Synthesis at $5,797 priced in dollars. The cheapest entry prices come with fewer published weeks of preparation and integration, and Beckley publishes the longest window.
Next, pick your country and a total budget, add flights and extra nights to each figure above (dated 2026-11-14), and request a written list of inclusions from each Beckley Retreats alternative on your shortlist. Related: psilocybin retreats in Jamaica and psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands.
By published entry price, Triptherapie lists two-day group ceremonies from €650 including accommodation, food and drink, and multi-day retreats from €1,150. Entheogenesis lists a three-day retreat at €1,249 excluding VAT. Programs differ in length and inclusions.
Beckley Retreats publishes $5,200 to $11,000 per guest. Jamaica for five nights is $5,500 to $11,000, the Netherlands for five nights is $6,000 to $10,250, and the Netherlands for four nights is $5,200 to $9,000, depending on room type.
Psilocybin mushrooms are legal in Jamaica, where Afterlight and ONE Retreats operate. In the Netherlands, Synthesis, Entheogenesis, Essence Institute and Triptherapie each state that they use psilocybin truffles, which they describe as legal there.
Flights are not included by any provider listed. Beckley, Synthesis and Entheogenesis include preparation and integration, while Essence Institute sells integration sessions separately at €150 each in a package of three.
Beckley takes a 50 percent deposit and then equal monthly installments until 60 days before the retreat. Afterlight, ONE Retreats and Synthesis list payment plans, and Entheogenesis lists installments on request.
