I had just come through the hardest, darkest winter of my life. In a moment of desperation, I searched for “Denver wellness retreats” and started sending inquiries. Several places responded—but something told me to speak with the first team who reached out. That was Justin and Azria from White Rabbit Collective.

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into—or if I should invest the time and money in a solo retreat in Colorado. I’m so glad I did.

From the very first email, Justin and Azria were kind, communicative, and deeply present in a way that felt genuine—not transactional. They took time to understand what I was carrying, listening without judgment and sharing their own experiences with openness and care.

Justin’s background as a nurse, combined with his work in breathwork and plant medicine, creates a rare balance of clinical understanding and deep respect for transformational healing practices. With my doctor’s support, he helped guide me in safely reducing medications I had struggled to move away from for years.

The retreat itself took place in Crestone, Colorado—a place chosen intentionally for its spiritual and healing energy. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the shift.

Justin and Azria created a space that felt immediately safe. We began with breathwork that was profoundly transformative—I lost all sense of time and left that first session knowing I was exactly where I needed to be.

Throughout the experience, they were more than facilitators. They were guides, caregivers, teachers, and, by the end, people I feel deeply connected to. When things became intense, they stayed present, supporting me through the deeper emotional work with steadiness and compassion.

Beyond the ceremonies, every detail was intentional—from nourishment to integration support. I reconnected with my body and senses in ways I hadn’t in years.

They equipped me with tools to carry this work forward and continued to check in after I returned home. Their care didn’t end with the retreat.

Since returning, I’ve continued to heal and evolve. My relationship with food has changed, my physical symptoms have shifted, and I feel more grounded in myself than I have in years.

This experience was truly life-changing. I would recommend this work to anyone—especially with Justin and Azria.

I am someone who has suffered from low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety for decades. In the past three years, I have been undergoing therapy, and I have made a lot of progress, but I have struggled to experience high self-worth, and I have had a hard time loving and accepting myself. I was referred to Justin at the White Rabbit Collective by someone who I trust and who has sat with him a couple of times. The two-day plant medicine retreat was exactly what I needed, and everything unfolded exactly as it needed to for both me and my spouse of 26 years. Justin made sure to create a safe and welcoming space and allowed opportunities for questions and helped us to be at ease the entire time. The integration of breathwork and plant medicine was harmonious and the ceremonies were conducted with absolute care and respect for us and the medicine. For the first time in decades and several times throughout the retreat, I experienced deep love for myself, humanity, and all of creation. I was overcome with so much clarity of mind, inner peace, love, and indescribable joy. While my spouse also participated, her experience was likewise transformative but was tailored to her needs and allowed us to connect and understand one another on a much deeper level. This connection and newness have continued weeks after the retreat. We are grateful for the care and support of both Justin and Azria and their attunement to our needs. I am truly grateful for the work Justin does to help people unblock the barriers that hold them from realizing the strength, power, and love that is available to them.

After a recommendation from a dear friend of mine I reached out to Justin at the White Rabbit Collective. Over the course of the last several years working in the military and in public safety I had become very disenfranchised and struggled immensely with my own humanity as well as becoming hypercritical of myself. Working with Justin, I was able to feel safe in the space to allow my own vulnerabilities to be addressed as well as understand their origins. Through both breath work and natural medicine, I was able to view myself and the world around me in a new and different light. Justin has a great ability to create a safe space in which a person can learn about their own vulnerabilities without fear of judgment or criticism. Working with Justin, I was able to see that we are often our own harshest critics. I have continued to work with Justin because I truly believe that he has the best interests of the people he works with works with in his heart as well as a skill set that has the capacity to help bring peace to those individuals.

To say these medicine ceremonies changed my life for the better is an understatement. I used to wake up everyday in a fight with myself to embrace the day and not be ruled by negativity and overwhelm. as I reflect I have felt like i have been dragged through much of life and been stuck in a constant spiral of self doubt, shame, low confidence and over thinking. I have taken psilocybin a hand full of times but a huge distinction must be made for the healing that can be done when your journey is facilitated by a knowledgable guide. Justin's approach was a perfect balance of imparting wisdom when needed and also allowing space for my autonomy and for the medicine to do its work. the breath work he teaches you enhances the medicine and also gives you tools that will continue to help you integrate when you leave. The realizations on this journey have helped me reconcile blocks in relationships and most important the block I had in the relationship with my self. It all starts from healing within and gaining the courage to be who you authentically are and I now feel that reality with all of my heart. The retreat land is also breathe taking and sacred. The nights sky is amazing and there are many treasures to find including a very powerful Medicine Wheel that I will definitely be back to experience again. Thank you again Justin and I will see you again when the medicine calls!

“I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis 6 years ago. Although I got some relief with traditional medicine, I still lived with discomfort and stiffness everyday. Unfortunately my job did not allow medical herbal use. Justin was able to work with me without herbal medicine. Keeping an open mind I began a journey of breathing. I have had amazing experiences and have experienced physical healing of a joint while in the journey. Each journey is different and it’s important not to set expectations, but the universe will reach out with what you need. Adding breath has improved my quality of life. Looking forward to many more experiences to come.”

 I am recently returned from a White Rabbit retreat and recommend the experience highly.  I went there as a complete psychedelic neophyte.  After first reaching out in the spring, Justin set up an initial call to insure that the retreat was what I wanted.  I went there with some slight trepidation, but had been reassured by what Justin had told me during our initial chat. 

   Upon arriving at White Rabbit, I found the accomodations and set-up comfortable and conducive to the experience we all sought.  The other people at the retreat were generous, friendly and kind, and Justin is very knowledgeable and has deep respect for the medicine and what it can do.   I especially found refreshing and moving the spiritual dimension he brought to the experience, and I value getting to know him and the others at the retreat. Though my experience on both nights was somewhat unusual, Justin was uncommonly supportive and encouraging throughout.  I look forward to doing another White Rabbit retreat soon.  - Sam Bruton
