For those who have completed a psychedelic experience with a clinic or practitioner and want time and space to be with what came up.
EXPLORE INTEGRATION RETREATS →A 45-minute global pause session, held weekly so you can re-center, slow down and re-connect to yourself with others around the globe.
Pumzika offers digital detox, deep rest, and immersive nature for people who have completed a session with a clinic or practitioner.
Taking time to pause and reflect in silence is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.
Pumzika partners with clinics, therapists, physicians and facilitators supporting people through psychedelic experiences.
You remain responsible for the clinical care and medicine experience.
We provide a separate, medicine-free integration retreat.
We handle screening, travel logistics, hospitality and facilitation. We ask for a point of contact for the duration of the retreat.
BECOME A PUMZIKA PARTNER →Our practice is the same on every Pumzika retreat: befriending all that you are through kindness to self, digital detox, deep rest, immersive nature.
Mindful nature walks. Quiet mornings. Space to be alone. Time together. Wild landscapes.
Our retreats are designed together with you to provide meaningful periods of silence.
Noble silence can be held during meals, meditations and nature walks, with professional mindfulness instruction.
Suitable for new and beginner to advanced mindfulness practitioners, and for people of all traditions and faiths.
Our practices are secular, grounded, and simple: a balancing of awareness and loving kindness.
Let nature absorb into the fabric of your being.
Walking meditation in the forest. Watch the horizon. Sit beneath a tree. Listen to a fire.
Whether in the wild landscapes of Tanzania or the quiet of the Texas hill country, nature immersion is a key part of the work.
The goal is for participants to leave with a set of tools they can use at home in their daily practice.
Reflection, mindfulness, contemplative practice, time in nature and periods of silence.
Enough structure to build a practice, or to deepen one already established.
Pumzika does not administer, provide or facilitate psychedelic substances, and we are not a replacement for medical care or psychotherapy. No substances of any kind on site.
Charlie Smith leads every Pumzika integration retreat and holds the room for the full retreat. He has over twenty years of experience training mindfulness and retreats internationally, trained with mindfulness masters in Thailand, Guatemala and the USA, and has taught mindfulness in Tanzanian rehabilitation centres. His approach is gentle, grounded and secular.
Every participant is screened before booking. Anyone can step out of silence at any point and speak with a facilitator. If something needs clinical attention, we say so and refer back to you.
The medicine experience belongs with the people trained to provide it.
We take care of the pause that follows.
Beneath Kilimanjaro and across the landscapes of Northern Tanzania.
In the quiet corners of the Hill Country.
Different places. Different journeys. The same invitation:
Step away from the noise long enough to hear what remains.

Silence is the gateway.
Nature is the medicine.
