VisionTrek × Sophrodelic: Jamaica

Healing Childhood Trauma at Treasure Beach

A Partnership Rooted in Healing

  • Jamaican Tradition

    For over 30 years, Benedicte Mannix and the Sophrodelic team have guided people through therapeutic journeys to heal the deep wounds of childhood trauma. Operating openly in Jamaica—where mushrooms are not criminalized and their healing potential is culturally respected—Sophrodelic has quietly built a reputation for safety, integrity, and transformation.

    By partnering with Sophrodelic, VisionTrek expands its mission: to curate experiences that bring together proven healing practices and the living wisdom of place.

  • Why Childhood Trauma?

    Unresolved childhood trauma often lingers beneath the surface of adult life—showing up as fear, self-doubt, avoidance, or cycles of disconnection. Sophrodelic’s methodology creates a structured, supportive environment where these old wounds can be surfaced and released.

    Participants are guided by experienced facilitators, with decades of practice holding safe containers for deep psychological and emotional work. The psilocybin journeys are carefully framed to maximize both healing and integration.

  • Treasure Beach: A Healing Landscape

    Set on Jamaica’s south coast, Treasure Beach is a quiet fishing community known for authenticity and warmth, far removed from the island’s resort towns. Guests describe it as a place that feels “healing in itself”, and where the pace of life, the sound of the sea, and the embrace of community combine to create an environment uniquely supportive of transformation.

    “[SAMPLE QUOTE ] I hope to return to Treasure Beach every year or two … It was without question the best experience of my life.” — SOPHRODELIC PARTICIPANT Treasure Beach

    Some retreat guests have even described Treasure Beach as a kind of “healing vortex” where personal breakthroughs and energetic shifts seem to arrive more naturally.

VisionTrek’s Role:

Respecting Spiritual Contexts

VisionTrek’s guiding principle has always been humility before the spiritual traditions we encounter, whether the indigenous lineages of Mexico, the contemplative and ancient currents of the West, or the Afro-Caribbean spiritual heritage of Jamaica.

We do not claim to define or master these traditions. Instead, we acknowledge the limits of our understanding while honoring the role they play in holding space for transformation.

In partnership with Sophrodelic, we bring the same reverence to beautiful Jamaica - recognizing that what grows on the land is not just a medicine, but part of the cultural fabric of Jamaica with a long tradition of healing .

Cultural Connections

While Sophrodelic focuses on the healing journey itself, VisionTrek brings a complementary layer: connecting guests with Jamaica’s cultural depth. Backed by 30 years of community relationships, we provide experiences that root your healing in the living fabric of place:

• Conversations with elders and cultural practitioners

• Meals drawn from local farming and fishing traditions

• Music, rhythm, and movement practices that carry ancestral memory

• Reflections on Jamaica’s role as a modern cultural and spiritual voice

This is not tourism. It is traveling - with connection with the people, history, and wisdom traditions of Jamaica—woven respectfully into the retreat, so the healing journey is carried by both inner work and outer belonging.

Safety: Grounded Assurance

Life abroad naturally raises questions of safety for reasonable travelers.

Here’s what you should know about Treasure Beach:

• Consistently cited as one of the safest communities in Jamaica - on par with our locations in Mexico City and Denver - and safer in real terms than most large American cities. Treasure Beach offers a calm, low-risk environment. The main concerns are petty theft and standard travel precautions

• A small, community-based town far removed from nightlife and resort districts

• Supported by decades of trusted local partnerships built by Sophrodelic

• VisionTrek provides clear travel guidance and on-the-ground support

We remind guests to travel mindfully, but you can trust that every step is guided by care, planning, and long experience.
