In the wake of the recent hurricane, our thoughts remain with the people and communities of Jamaica. Thanks to the dedication and resilience of our local partners and staff, we’re grateful to share that our retreat center at Good Hope is fully operational and ready to receive guests.
All operational needs at the retreat center have been restored. Roads to the property are clear, and the Montego Bay Airport is open for commercial flights. Our team has worked thoughtfully to ensure every detail is in place for the upcoming retreats.
These gatherings offer a chance for reflection, connection, and presence, and by joining, guests also contribute to the continued vitality of the community that makes this experience possible.
As always, guest safety and wellbeing remain our highest priorities. One of the most meaningful ways to support Jamaica at this time is to visit and experience the warmth of its people and the enduring beauty of the island. You can also support the immediate personal needs of the Good Hope community here.

A landmark 2016 study in The Lancet Psychiatry found that 67% of patients with treatment-resistant depression were in remission a week after psilocybin therapy, and 42% remained depression-free after three months.
More recently, Beckley co-published a study tracking 58 military veterans who attended legal psychedelic retreats. Over four weeks, participants saw PTSD symptoms drop by 26% and depression by nearly 30%. Those most severely affected often experienced the most dramatic turnarounds.
