My name is Eva Payne, I am the creator of the Flow Life Retreat. I am grateful you have stopped by this site to check out what it is we do at the Flow Life Retreats. What I can tell you after 22 months of running these retreats & almost 30 sessions is, this experience works! We open hearts, clear minds, and show participants how to human in a different way. Hearts can begin to REALLY heal in this space. We open a door to what is possible for humanity. My purpose here on this planet is to assist in the healing of the human spirit. We have become so dragged down by the darkness and enough is enough. It is time for real transformation through authenticity, love, hope, and forgiveness. We can rise above the stories and projections.

Your vulnerability is beautiful and courageous. Together, we will strategize how best to integrate your experiences so that you hold more clarity around your quest for flow.

STEP

3

Pre-Retreat Setup Calls (About the Experience & Clarity Around Your Intentions) Getting to know one another is an essential part of creating a powerful plant medicine experience. On our calls, I first want to answer any questions you might have about the journey. I also want to know you, your goals, your desires, your challenges. The deeper we can connect prior, the richer your experience will be during the weekend.
STEP

4

An Experience You Will Cherish After two years of running retreats in Oregon and Colorado that incorporate several healing modalities, including Earth's medicine, I have seen the benefits of the modalities we incorporate into our retreats that do not include any psychedelic experience. Transformation happens through our guided meditations, breathwork, soundhealing, yoga, reiki, and human connection exercises. We see a need and know we can fill it. For those looking to heal through self-care modalities that do not incorporate any medicine, we are now offering a half day retreat, "You are the medicine." You do not need to put anything into your body to have a profound healing experience. We have had participants who have opted out of the medicine and say we offer an incredibly transformative experience through our other modalities. This feedback has been the foundation of this new experience. Join us and experience that YOU ARE THE MEDICINE! You do not need any experience with these the modalities. In fact, we love introducing these healing modalities to new comers. We are excited to introduce you to a new way to heal and expand. Bring a friend and/or make a new friend there!
STEP

5

Guided Meditation I began leading guided meditations at the retreats in the fall of 2022. They are never scripted. I have a theme and allow for creativity to flow through me. I hope you enjoy!
STEP

6

Meals (Arrival Evening Dinner through Breakfast on Departure Date) Meals and snacks are prepared around dietary needs and look to incorporate whole foods. The food we integrate into our experience is intentional and based on creating the most connected experience you can have during the weekend journey. Lodging for Four Days and Three Nights (A Home For Your Experience) The retreats are held in beautiful Oregon and Colorado, the first two state to officially decriminalize psilocybin—the active compound in “magic mushrooms”—for therapeutic uses. We ask you to arrive by 530pm on the arrival day. We rent large homes in beautiful areas. Being in nature enhances the experience and allows space for you to connect inward.
STEP

7

One Optional Gifted Plant/Psychedelic Medicine Therapeutic Journey and Sharing Opportunity (First Full Day Journey + Full Day Post Journey Share/Integration) When you arrive, we will have time to settle in, and get to know one another. The following day will integrate in the journey beginning at 3pm. The next day will be about integration. There will be an opportunity to share your experience, spend time journaling, restorative yoga, ecstatic dance and art therapy.
STEP

8

Optional 45 Min Post-Retreat Integration Calls (What Now? Incorporating the Experience Back into Life with Next Steps) We can set up two calls after our retreat. The first will be where you share your experience, your take-a-ways, and lessons learned. We will also outline some next steps to integrate your “ah-ha” moments. We will have our second call one month from the first post retreat call to check-in, reframe or gain clarity around ideas or goals that may have come up over the first month post retreat.
STEP

9

On-Going Online Community (Private and Open Online Communities) We offer two groups so that you can continue to be supported post retreat through peer relationships with whom you share a similar experience. The first includes those at each retreat (4-6 people per retreat).We also have a larger online community where others who have been through the experience can connect with those who attended at other times.
STEP

10

Eva Payne · Program Creator

My name is Eva Payne. I am the Program Creator of the Flow Life Retreat. I began these retreats in January of 2022 and in that year held 13 transformational experiences. By the end of 2023 we held 19 additional retreats. I have seen real positive shifts as participants come home to themselves. They were able to move their emotions, connect to themselves in a more wholehearted way, and open up to what is possible. The medicine works. I have seen it time and time again and when stacked with other healing modalities in a setting of unconditional love, healing and evolution are the outcomes. I am first and foremost a Mother to six. I hold a Masters of Science in Leadership and Management and studied at the Salt City Psychedelic and Therapy Research Program. I have had the honor of serving as the Founder and Executive Director of Project Kindle, a nonprofit for youth impacted by HIV or AIDS since 1998. I have designed and implemented impactful large summer camps and small retreat programs for over 20 years. Creating lasting rituals that carry on for decades and live in the hearts of the participants is where my creativity flows. I stepped into Life Coaching in 2016 offering 1:1 and small group mentoring sessions aimed at assisting others to move through life transitions with love and grace. I became an author of, The Flow Life Funnel in December of 2020 and The Magic in Flow in December of 2021. I also host a personal development and wonder podcast (SET 2 LOVE and Ideas to Human Better). I believe we all have gifts to offer the world. The sooner we realize what they are and get to filling needs with our essence, the sooner we create better systems. My flow comes from working with nature and creativity to unlock your dreams and ability to live wholeheartedly. While researching my first book, I wanted to understand ways we could more easily move through trauma so that we can begin to live in flow with more ease. I came across research suggesting the profound positive impacts of psilocybin-assisted therapy and was captivated. Through a series of synchronicities, I have found myself here on this journey. I am combining cutting edge psychedelic and plant medicine research and therapeutic models, my knack for getting people back on track, and a passion for designing retreats which bring people together and transcend identity. The outcome is the Flow Life Retreat with our first full session held in Jan of 2022. Each participant experienced profound positive impacts. Seeing the results solidified my journey to keep going. In 2022 I offered 13 retreats and today the retreats are hosted monthly. By the end of 2023, we hosted 32 retreats! We have evolved greatly over the last two years in this endeavor to bring the participants the safest, and most effective way to use this medicine. Everyone's journey is unique and never what is expected, but always what is needed. I enjoy supporting and guiding individuals through new experiences which conjure up courage and self-leadership. It is normal to be nervous when we face something new. Support, set and setting are among the most important choices to creating a caring, inviting, warm, and attentive experience. Creating an organized and thoughtful program that offers opportunity for self-exploration and discovery is my intention. Learning to love the shadows can be a chaotic experience, however, from breakdowns new patterns, purpose, and vision can be unearthed. I welcome you as you are right now, wherever you are, and whatever your life looks like. I would be honored to hold space for you as you dive deep into your own healing and personal insight. Your vulnerability is beautiful and courageous. Together, we will strategize how best to integrate your experiences so that you hold more clarity around your quest for flow.
