A dedicated retreat for therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurse practitioners and healthcare professionals exploring psychedelic-assisted care.
Bring together clinical education, experiential psilocybin work, practitioner practicum and meaningful peer connection — in a setting designed to give you space to step outside the pace of clinical practice and experience the field from the inside.
Afterlight — a private oceanfront setting in Negril, Jamaica
Step away from the pace of practice.
Away from the clinical hour, the documentation, the responsibility of holding space for everyone else.
For six days, come somewhere you can learn, experience, reflect and connect — alongside practitioners asking the same questions about where mental healthcare is heading.
Science. Clinical practice. New perspectives.
Learn alongside researchers and clinicians working at the frontier of psychedelic-assisted care.
See the work from the inside.
Experience supported psilocybin work from both the participant and practitioner perspective.
Space to think beyond the clinical hour.
Step away from the pace of practice and reconnect with curiosity, your own development and the questions that brought you into this work.
A room full of people asking better questions.
Build meaningful relationships with practitioners exploring what comes next in mental healthcare.
Researchers, clinicians and practitioners working at the frontier of psychedelic care.

Arrive in Negril and settle into your private oceanfront setting. Meet the Afterlight team and fellow practitioners, establish your intentions and begin creating the space for the days ahead. The Science & Experience of Psilocybin with Professor David Luke. End the day with a welcome dinner overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
Explore the foundations of safe psychedelic practice — preparation, set and setting, safety, somatic anchors and consent. Begin experiencing the work yourself through a guided Low-Dose Group Session.
The centrepiece of the retreat. Following reflective preparation and intention-setting, enter the Main Dosing Experience within a clinically supported framework. Experience psychedelic-assisted therapy from the participant perspective — allowing you to understand the experience not only intellectually, but from the inside.
Explore the clinical realities of psychedelic care with Safety & Psychiatry of Psychedelics with Dr Winston De La Haye. Examine contraindications, adverse events, medication interactions and clinical safety. Then move into the Experiential Practitioner Practicum — exploring therapeutic presence, facilitation and practitioner experience through supervised learning and group discussion.
Begin making sense of your experience through an Integration Circle. Choose between a private clinical or practitioner 1:1 session for further reflection and support. Then leave the villa behind for a private ocean excursion to Booby Cay Island — creating space for conversation, reflection and connection beyond the formal programme.
Bring the experience together. Reflect on what you have learned, what you experienced and what it may mean for your work. Consider how you will carry the learning forward into your clinical practice, and leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, the field and the people alongside you.
Five nights in a private oceanfront eco villa in Negril — with space to rest between the work.
A calm, private bedroom with ensuite bathroom to rest, reflect and return to throughout your stay.
Handcrafted wooden living spaces set among the trees, moments from the Caribbean Sea.
Access to two pools and oceanfront cliff jumping, set on a private stretch of the Negril coastline.
The Afterlight Practitioner Retreat is a complete clinical and educational experience designed to support you before, during and long after your time in Jamaica.
You’re not only here to learn. You have something to bring.
Each practitioner will have the opportunity to share a short presentation on an area of their clinical work, research, or specialist practice — from insights into IFS, EMDR, and somatic approaches to relational therapy or any other emerging areas of practice.
A chance to share what you know, learn from how others work, and connect with practitioners who may want to take the conversation further.
You leave with more than a certificate or a collection of lectures.
You leave having experienced the work from the inside.
With new clinical perspectives. A deeper understanding of psychedelic-assisted care. A clearer sense of what this work asks of practitioners. And relationships with people who are asking many of the same questions you are.
Payment plan available: 4 monthly payments of $1,500 USD.
Your investment includes the complete six-day practitioner experience, accommodation, meals outlined above, airport transfers, clinical preparation and support, experiential psilocybin work, practitioner education, integration and post-retreat support. Places are intentionally limited to 12 practitioners — this allows us to maintain the quality of clinical support, meaningful peer connection and depth of learning that the experience requires.
Every Afterlight experience begins with a clinical review. We take time to understand your professional background, personal intentions, previous psychedelic experience and clinical circumstances before confirming whether the Practitioner Retreat is appropriate for you.
