This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: Ok, this doesn't look promotional in tone to me, but it's still somewhat WP:ADMASQ-feeling. Can you give it another try? asilvering (talk) 19:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment: the draft now appears to have an over reliance on primary sources. The majority of an article's content should be based off reliable secondary sources. Justi yaya 22:33, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

MycoMeditations is a psychedelic retreat company located in Jamaica.

MycoMeditations has been in operation since 2014^[1] and it is one of numerous retreat companies in Jamaica offering psilocybin mushrooms as a therapeutic service. Psilocybin mushrooms are legal for personal and commercial use in Jamaica.^[2]

The company's services involve private psilocybin therapy sessions, and psychedelic integration through individual and group psychotherapy.^[3] People reportedly attend MycoMeditations to treat mental health conditions, though there are no published clinical studies on their outcomes.^[4] The company conducts safety screenings prior to people attending^[5], as psychedelic therapy can be unsafe for some individuals.^[6]

Numerous journalists have attended and reported about their experiences at the retreat, such as Decca Aitkenhead in the Sunday Times^[7], Michael Verdon in Robb Report^[8], and Charlet Duboc in VICE^[9]
