Radiant Resurgence Retreat is breaking molds with its innovative Colorado mushroom retreats. A simple idea of creating a community around support and healing is gaining incredible traction. Founded by a passionate Latina mental health professional, this retreat shatters the mold of traditional wellness experiences.

Radiant Resurgence combines traditional and cutting-edge practices. Felicia incorporates elements like sound baths and yoga alongside more progressive approaches, including the optional use of medicinal mushrooms under Colorado’s Proposition 122, making it a standout among Colorado mushroom retreats.

Accessibility is key to Felicia’s vision for this Colorado mushroom retreat. Radiant Resurgence offers both full 4-day experiences and shorter day ceremonies, catering to diverse needs and schedules. A BIPOC scholarship further underscores their commitment to inclusivity, making this Colorado mushroom retreat accessible to a wider audience.

“With a range of holistic services, including sound bath ceremonies, yoga, chef-prepared cuisine, and counseling, we aim to guide our guests towards physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”

The Radiant Experience Breakdown

Radiant Resurgence Retreat offers two distinct experiences: an immersive quarterly retreat, and customizable Day Ceremonies.  Together, these offerings allow participants to experience community and healing through medicinal means.

Quarterly Retreats 

Radiant Resurgence’s quarterly Colorado mushroom retreats are the cornerstone of their transformative offerings, providing women with an immersive experience of self-discovery and healing. These 4-day retreats, held in the picturesque setting of Fraser, Colorado, offer a unique blend of traditional and innovative wellness practices.

The Colorado mushroom retreats are carefully designed to accommodate up to 10 participants, ensuring an intimate and supportive environment. Each retreat begins with a 4-week online pre-work course called “Becoming the One,” which prepares participants for the deep personal work ahead at the Colorado mushroom retreat.

Upon arrival at the Colorado mushroom retreat in Fraser, participants are greeted with a thoughtfully curated agenda that includes:

  • Daily yoga sessions
  • Sound healing and breathwork ceremonies
  • An empowering self-talk workshop
  • Chef-prepared, nourishing meals
  • Optional guided mushroom ceremony (in compliance with Colorado’s Proposition 122)
  • Integration circles and one-on-one sessions with psychedelic guides
  • A Zen Den Experience for deep relaxation

What sets these Colorado mushroom retreats apart is their holistic approach to wellness. While the optional mushroom ceremony is a unique feature, it’s just one component of a comprehensive program designed to nurture physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Pricing

The full 4-day Colorado mushroom retreat experience is priced at $2,500, while the Day Ceremonies are available at $600. Recognizing financial barriers, especially within underrepresented communities, Radiant Resurgence has established the Radiant Resilience BIPOC Scholarship for their Colorado mushroom retreats.

This scholarship, inspired by founder Felicia Mendes’ experiences as a Latina, aims to make the Colorado mushroom retreat accessible to women of color who may otherwise face financial barriers.

BIPOC Scholarship

Recognizing the financial barriers that many face, especially within underrepresented communities, Radiant Resurgence has implemented flexible payment options. They offer payment plans for both the full retreats and day ceremonies, allowing participants to spread the cost over time.

Perhaps most notably, Radiant Resurgence has established the Radiant Resilience BIPOC Scholarship. This initiative, born from founder Felicia Mendes’ personal experiences as a Latina navigating systems of oppression, aims to provide access to the retreat experience for women of color who may otherwise face financial barriers.

The BIPOC scholarship is a testament to Radiant Resurgence’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. It offers a transformative opportunity for personal healing, growth, and connection to women from underrepresented communities. While the exact amount of the scholarship isn’t specified, it’s designed to significantly reduce or potentially cover the full cost of the retreat experience for selected recipients.

Applicants for the BIPOC scholarship are evaluated based on their commitment to personal growth, community involvement, and financial need. The selection process is thoughtful and aims to identify individuals who will not only benefit personally from the retreat but also bring their newfound insights and healing back to their communities.

 

Why Radiant Resurgence?

Radiant Resurgence Retreat stands out in the growing wellness landscape through a combination of innovative approaches and thoughtful details. Here’s what makes their approach to Colorado mushroom retreats truly unique:

Intentional Community Building: Unlike many retreats that focus solely on individual experiences, Radiant Resurgence places a strong emphasis on fostering lasting connections. Their 4-week pre-retreat online course, “Becoming the One,” not only prepares participants for the in-person experience but also begins the process of community building well before the retreat starts.

Diverse Team of Healers: The retreat boasts an impressive roster of guides and healers, each bringing their own expertise to the table. For instance, psychedelic guide Bodhi Calagna doubles as an international DJ, infusing the experience with creative soundscapes. Yoga instructor Ashton August, a published author of four motivational books, offers empowering workshops based on her writings. Learn More.

Integration of Proposition 122: Radiant Resurgence uniquely incorporates Colorado’s Proposition 122, which allows for the compliant sharing of medicinal mushrooms among adults. This integration of psychedelic experiences within a legal framework sets them apart from many traditional wellness retreats.

Ongoing Support: The retreat experience doesn’t end when participants leave. Radiant Resurgence provides extensive post-retreat integration support, ensuring that the insights and growth achieved during the retreat continue to flourish in daily life.

Inclusive Programming: From offering women-specific and LGBTQIA+ Day Ceremonies to providing the BIPOC scholarship, Radiant Resurgence demonstrates a genuine commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

Blend of Traditional and Innovative Practices: While incorporating time-honored practices like yoga and sound healing, the retreat also embraces modern approaches to wellness and personal growth, creating a unique, holistic experience.

Flexibility in Offerings: By providing both multi-day retreats and single-day ceremonies, Radiant Resurgence caters to a wide range of needs and schedules, making transformative experiences more accessible.

Focus on Empowerment: Every aspect of the retreat is designed not just for temporary relaxation, but for long-term empowerment. Participants leave with practical tools and strategies for continuing their journey of self-discovery and growth.

This combination of community focus, diverse expertise, legal compliance, ongoing support, inclusivity, innovative practices, flexibility, and empowerment truly sets Radiant Resurgence apart in the world of wellness retreats.
