1. Submit an application form by following this link. Please note that the questions about your writing background are intended simply to ensure that the retreat is a good fit for you. Given that we’ll be gathering as writers and discussing the joys and struggles of literary life, the retreat is not intended for total beginners. With that said, we’re not here to gatekeep. You don’t need to be published. You don’t need an MFA. You just need to write and to care about writing.  

2. Complete an intake form for the Nature Temple. After sending your application form, you will receive a separate intake form for the psychedelic truffle ceremony. The intake process is intended, above all, to ensure safety. If approved by the Nature Temple team, you are welcome to join the retreat.

3. Pay a deposit to secure your place in the retreat. Your place is only secure once the deposit is received. Full payment is due one month before the start of the retreat. For the early bird discount, full payment is due by March 15th, 2026.
