Heather Lee: Empowering Women Through Psychedelic-Assisted Healing and Retreats

Jan 12

Heather Lee doesn’t just host retreats—she creates transformative experiences. As the founder of Medicine Woman Retreats and one of Colorado’s first certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapists, Heather’s work focuses on helping women in midlife reconnect with their inner wisdom and shed the emotional weight of life’s transitions. Her retreats, centered on psilocybin therapy, have become a sanctuary for women seeking healing, clarity, and purpose.

Heather’s journey into this groundbreaking work is deeply personal. After over 30 years as a mental health therapist specializing in meditation, dreamwork, and shamanic practices, she recognized psilocybin’s potential to unlock profound healing. “We’re wired to enter non-ordinary states of consciousness—it’s how we process life’s complexities,” she says. With this understanding, Heather created retreats that blend scientific insight, emotional support, and spiritual depth.

Healing Through Psilocybin

At the core of Heather’s retreats is psilocybin, a plant medicine renowned for its ability to create new neural pathways in the brain. Her approach is intentional and grounded, guiding participants through carefully curated experiences that allow them to reframe outdated beliefs, process grief, and let go of trauma.

The retreats are structured with purpose. Over a long weekend, participants engage in yoga, psilocybin ceremonies, and group integration sessions. Each woman has a private space for her journey, allowing for deep personal reflection without distraction. Heather’s team ensures every guest feels supported, safe, and empowered throughout the process.

Empowering Women in Midlife

Heather’s retreats are designed for women stepping into new chapters of life. With an average guest age of 57, many participants come seeking clarity during transitions like divorce, career changes, or empty nesting. “Our oldest guest was 81,” Heather recalls. “She said, ‘You’re never too old to heal—your soul doesn’t atrophy.’”

Beyond the individual journeys, the retreats foster a sense of sisterhood. Guests often leave with a newfound tribe of like-minded women who continue to uplift and support each other long after the weekend ends.

Entrepreneurship Rooted in Resilience

Heather’s entrepreneurial journey has been one of persistence and adaptability. From consulting for luxury resorts like the Four Seasons to navigating the challenges of single motherhood, Heather has always kept her dreams alive. “Even when life was at its hardest, I never fully stepped away from my vision,” she says.

Her retreats are a culmination of her professional expertise and personal mission to create spaces where women can heal and thrive. Acknowledging the financial fears that many entrepreneurs face, Heather emphasizes the importance of staying connected to your dreams and building a support network.

The Heart of Heather’s Mission

Heather’s work is driven by a profound commitment to service. Each year, she hosts a free retreat for women with cancer—a tradition inspired by her own healing journey after a breast cancer diagnosis. “This isn’t about money; it’s about integrity and making a difference,” she shares.

With new licensing regulations for psychedelic therapy in Colorado, Heather is set to become one of the first licensed facilitators in the state. She’s also expanding her retreats internationally, offering psilocybin journeys in Portugal and other parts of Europe where the practice is decriminalized.

Words of Wisdom

Heather’s message to women is simple yet powerful: “Collaboration is everything. Women supporting women is how we grow—personally and professionally.”

For those ready to embrace change and reconnect with their inner power, Heather’s retreats offer a pathway to healing and transformation. She’s not just guiding women through psilocybin therapy; she’s helping them reclaim their strength, release the past, and step into the next chapter of their lives with confidence and clarity.

Heather Lee’s work reminds us that healing is possible at any stage of life. Her retreats are a testament to the power of community, courage, and the human capacity for transformation.
