Welcome to Well, Then, taking a look at the biggest news and trends when wellness and travel intersect.

‍Microdosing mommies? Shroomin’ CEOs?

According to Data Bridge Market Research, the psychedelic market is projected to reach $10.7 billion by 2027, up from $3.8 billion last year. That should come as no surprise. “The wellness industry continues to grow in size and importance in consumers’ lives post-pandemic,” says Joe McDonnell, head of insights at the trend forecasting company WGSN. “Staying healthy mentally and physically is a top priority.”

Founded by Rob Grover and Gary Logan in 2018, this luxury guided mushroom retreat based outside of Vancouver in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada hosts people at the top of their game - CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives, athletes, actors, and couples invested in experiencing a high level of self-discovery through psychedelic plant-based medicine. Think mountain views, modern stylings, and luxury touches; all set in a posh 7,000 square foot estate set on 1 acre with 4 guest bedrooms, a saltwater pool, and jacuzzi.

The psilocybin journeys are carefully curated and include magic mushroom ceremonies, restful integration and a private chef who prepares five-star vegetarian cuisine. But the care doesn’t stop there – the staff also offers clientele four months of support with calls to prepare before and afterwards; acting as true stewards of the psychedelic journeys.

While not yet legal in the U.S., The Journeymen Collective joins the ranks of other hotels offering trippy experiences, including MycoMeditations in Jamaica, Synthesis in the Netherlands, Buena Vida in Mexico.
