Nestled in the lush landscapes of Byron Bay, Soma, the wellness retreat made famous by Nine Perfect Strangers, offers much more than just breathtaking views—it’s a sanctuary for deep, transformative healing. With a backdrop of serene ambiance and world-class facilities, it’s the ideal setting for those seeking profound mental, emotional, and physical renewal.

Founded by cannabis industry veteran Paul Benhaim, Soma isn’t just another retreat. Benhaim, a trailblazer in hemp food and legal cannabis cultivation since 1999, has expanded his expertise into the wellness world, crafting experiences that blend psychedelic therapy with cutting-edge technologies. His vision for Soma goes beyond relaxation; it’s about achieving breakthroughs in mental health through alternative therapies.

Cannabis Psychedelics: Healing the Mind and Soul

At Soma, participants have the unique opportunity to engage in cannabis-infused psychedelic therapy under the guidance of trained facilitators. While therapies involving substances like psilocybin and MDMA require supervision from licensed psychiatrists, Soma’s cannabis-based approach offers a more accessible yet equally transformative experience. Facilitators ensure that each guest is safe, supported, and provided with the highest standard of care.

High-Tech Wellness

Taking healing to the next level, Soma incorporates advanced sound and light therapy into its sessions. With innovations like the vibration sound bed and light frequency techniques, the retreat fosters a deeper sense of self-discovery and internal balance. These cutting-edge treatments, grounded in scientific research, elevate the traditional wellness experience, making it a truly immersive journey for the body and mind.

Training the Next Generation of Facilitators

For those looking to delve deeper into this field, Soma offers a 9-month Cannabis Psychedelic Facilitator Training Course. Designed for therapists, wellness practitioners, and cannabis specialists, this course—developed with a global team of experts—equips participants with the knowledge and tools to incorporate cannabis psychedelics into their own practices.

Whether you’re seeking a personal wellness journey or looking to expand your expertise in alternative healing, Soma invites you to explore the future of wellness in a tranquil, transformative setting.
