Psychedelic Conversations | Kevin Bourke, Vernise Cardillo - ONE Retreats Jamaica #PS2025

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode, we speak with Kevin Bourke and Vernise Cardillo (Vee) to explore their remarkable journey into plant medicine, healing, and the creation of ONE Retreats in Jamaica. We discuss how purpose, personal transformation, and deep ancestral connection guided them into this work, as well as the unique cultural and natural magic Jamaica brings to their psilocybin retreats. Kevin shares his shift from corporate life into wellness, while Vee opens up about her own healing path and how it led her to both Jamaica and this mission. Together, they describe their full-moon retreats, community-based facilitation, and the importance of self-love, nature, and authentic connection. A beautiful reminder that we all carry the capacity to heal, and that connection truly is the medicine.

About Kevin:Kevin has been creating uniquely Jamaican experiences for international guests in Jamaica for over 20 years. He has strategically planned and successfully executed large-scale international events like TmrwTday Culture Fest & Wellness Community, featured in Forbes, Billboard, Huffpost and VICE. Kevin has developed iconic Jamaican brands with Island Records Founder, Chris Blackwell & global superstar Usian Bolt. As a founding member of ONE Psilocybin Retreats, Kevin remains committed to developing safe, comfortable psilocybin experiences that help people evolve towards their higher purpose.

About Vee: Vernise Cardillo, affectionately known as Vee, is a dedicated space-holder, healer, and curator of transformative experiences. Born and raised in New York, yet deeply connected to the energy of the world, Vee has spent her life exploring cultures, immersing in nature’s wisdom, and following the call of adventure. From the time she was a wide-eyed child staring at airplanes in the sky, she dreamed of distant lands. That dream became a reality when she set out as a solo traveler, charting her own course through various parts of the world. Along the way, Jamaica has lovingly become her second home. Vee created Exist To Experience, a travel brand curating group transformational journeys to the world’s energy centers. She masterfully weaves together adventure, culture, spirituality, and healing, offering experiences that awaken the senses and deepen the soul’s connection. Her itineraries are designed to bring people into the present moment—where true healing begins.
