A British Columbia retreat for business executives and other high-income people offers psilocybin / psychedelic mushrooms as a means of "personal development." The Journeymen Collective has "guided trips" to people coming to the self-described luxury psilocybin retreat. CNBC reports:
"Based in British Columbia, married couple Gary Logan and Rob Grover offer what they say is a unique experience for CEOs, athletes and even high-profile celebrities: a guided trip on psychedelic mushrooms.
The pair started The Journeymen Collective, a luxury psilocybin retreat, after the loss of Logan's mother, who lived with the couple for three and half years before her passing. A friend of the pair suggested they try a guided experience on psilocybin mushrooms with the help of a shaman to process their grief. [snip]
After the guided experiences, Logan and Rob 'both had similar visions related to magic mushrooms and guiding people on journeys,' Logan tells Make It. 'And then we spoke to the medicine man, and he stepped forward to assist us to develop a program and guide us on how we should guide people on a journey.' (our emphasis)
The "medicine man?" Outa sight. Give us the details:
"The Journeymen Collective, founded in 2018, offers a number of options that include a four-day solo retreat, a joint experience for couples or business partners and a group retreat for three to four people, according to the TJC site.
Experiences start at $15,000, and Logan emphasizes to prospective participants that 'it's a personal development investment,' into their inner self, health and the well-being of them and those around them. (our emphasis)
Whoa, that's a lot of bread (not to mention mushrooms), but we suppose our captains of industry can afford the luxury after ripping off middle class working families and reaping windfall profits. Write it off as a corporate expense. Anyway, mind-altering experiences might be a good thing for these money-driven, pampered elites.
