Eleusis the first luxury psychedelic retreat is hosting DMTx, here is what you need to know!
By Goncalo V.
What if we could further explore DMT realms in more depth? Understand who these entities are and why we see them in the DMT experiences, and uncover why so many people experience witnessing entities on DMT in comparison to when taking other compounds. What if DMT is a vortex to another reality hidden within our brains?
These were all questions fomented to create Eleusis, following the research model for the Application of Target-Controlled Intravenous Infusion for a Prolonged Immersive DMT Psychedelic Experience (DMTx) by Dr.Andrew Gallimore and Rick Strassman.
This model uses target-controlled intravenous infusion (TCII), a technique commonly used in anesthesia to maintain a stable drug concentration in the brain. By leveraging pharmacokinetic modeling and DMT blood sampling data, the researchers demonstrated that DMT’s rapid onset and lack of acute tolerance would make the compound suitable for TCII. Allowing patients to have a prolonged DMT experience enables detailed observation and analysis of its psychological effects.
Eleusis will debut this month on the island of Bequia in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, thus becoming a new mecca for the study of DMT and DMTx, alongside Dr. Andrew Gallimore, Dennis McKenna, Graham Hancock, and other personalities.
What is DMT, and what is its history?
Until the 1960s, DMT was an obscure compound in Western society, despite its use dating back to circa 900 CE by the Tiwanaku, one of the most significant Andean civilizations.
In 1931, the compound entered Western civilizations. Richard Manske was responsible for first studying DMT when searching for derivatives of N-methyltryptamines. However, the effects of the compound were only observed years later by Stephen Szara, after he extracted the compound from Mimosa Hostilis root bark and injected it into himself.
Such research brought attention to various minds, such as the McKenna brothers, Dennis and Terence McKenna, Terence who ended up pioneering the experiences of DMT in the psychonaut community through his lectures and description of machine elves, fractals, alien patterns, during the ’60s, followed by various reports of psychonauts claiming to have seen various fractals, aliens, or even religious figures that would give them alien knowledge about the world, or give them answers (read more about DMT here). Stanislav Grof and Wim Hof developed breathing techniques meant to increase the biosynthesis of DMT in the body. Rick Strassman opened the doors to research and literary piece “DMT: Spirit Molecule”, and lately, Andrew Gallimore followed up with his work on DMT alien worlds and DMTx alongside a broad team

Getting to the bottom of the question. Is DMTx safe?
Eleusis has safety as its highest priority. To achieve this, they have a few bullet points to ensure the safety of their patients:
- If a patient feels uncomfortable or wishes to end their journey, the clinical team can stop the infusion. After the infusion is stopped, the experience will stop within minutes, allowing people to return to their normal state quickly and safely.
- Every session is medically supervised by physicians and clinical staff with advanced monitoring and immediate support.
- Their protocols are conducted with a fully legal framework and high standards of integrity and care.
- Sessions include thorough pre-retreat health and psychiatric screening, personalized preparation, and ongoing integration support. (Read more about the importance of set and setting here.)
While Eleusis provides such points for the DMTx experiences of their patients, we must note that DMT is not a perfect molecule that is or should be experienced by everyone. Below, we will give you some examples of some occasions when you should avoid a DMT experience or discuss the idea with your doctor before embarking on your DMTx journey:
- Individuals with Certain Pre-existing Mental Health Conditions (such as schizophrenia, or Bipolar I Disorder, or who have first-degree relatives with these psychiatric conditions.)
- Individuals on Certain Medications or Drugs (for example, SSRIs)
- Immunocompromised Individuals (for example, cardiovascular disease)
- Pregnant or Breastfeeding Individuals

The team:
Eleusis is composed of some familiar faces if you’ve been in the psychedelic space for some time. Some we’ve previously mentioned in this and other articles, such as Dr. Andrew Gallimore and Dr. Chris Timmermann, but there are far more familiar faces that constitute the Eleusis team, Bianca Abbott, Carl Hayden Smith, Dr. Murray Heber, and Dr. Andrew Ferber in the medical and R&D departments.
Ian Mccal, Michael Smith, Jordan Poyer, Michael Gonzales, Savej, Chris Dyer, and WALLY are the program leaders and advisors.
The Executive Team was formed by Angus Taylor, Craig Strenhouse, Christina Thomas, Charles Patti, and Kirstie Wilkins.
