Bad experience for me,personally...I was in Basel Progressive Retreat, September 2026,silver stage. Expensive and I learned nothing new. Unfortunatelly i cant call this experience as a retreat, becuase I cant consider a retreat with 8000 people together in a huge show room. It was more of a show, with a lot of talking from Joe Dispenza and no interactions with the public. 3 days that could be done summarized in 3-4 hours. The chairs in the silver area are of hard wood, vert uncorfortable, broke my back. Sitting was very crowded. What made me get far from this experience is the fact that it looked like a real show when he invited actors on the stage that started to shake while meditating, and moving in strange ways.... after not even 1 sec from the start of the meditation. I felt like a real fool that I am part of such show...I expected some soul deep insights, I didnt feel that. Again, personal experience.

I attended the Joe Dispenza Progressive Retreat in Basel and left with a very mixed, but ultimately critical, impression. There were parts I genuinely found useful. Meditation, breathing exercises, mental rehearsal, and becoming more aware of habitual thoughts and behaviors can all have real psychological and physiological effects. Some of the research presented on neuroplasticity, EEG patterns, stress, biomarkers, and meditation is legitimate and interesting. My main issue is how quickly legitimate scientific findings are turned into much stronger claims that the research itself does not establish. Throughout the retreat, changes in EEG coherence, gamma activity, blood markers, gene expression, the microbiome, and other physiological measurements were presented alongside claims about healing, “energy,” the pineal gland, manifestation, and the quantum field. In many cases, the initial scientific finding may be real, but several speculative causal steps are added afterward and presented with far more certainty than the evidence justifies. Examples included claims about extremely high gamma activity supposedly reaching hundreds of standard deviations above normal (which is extremly unlikely), the pineal gland acting like a kind of “radio receiver” through crystals and electromagnetic effects, and anecdotal healing stories involving serious medical conditions. These stories may be genuine personal experiences, but testimonials are not evidence that meditation caused the recovery. For such claims, I would expect controlled clinical research with a larger group of people (studies mostly cover n = 20), objective medical before-and-after data, adequate control groups, and independent replication. I also found the presentation style increasingly uncomfortable. There were repeated moments where the audience was prompted with phrases such as “Are you with me?” while Joe raised his hand and thousands of people responded together. In my view, this creates a strong atmosphere of agreement and social proof, especially when similar techniques are used directly before or after highly debatable scientific or metaphysical claims. At an event that relies so heavily on science, I would have preferred much more encouragement of critical thinking and clear differentiation between established evidence, hypotheses, and personal interpretation. That is ultimately my biggest criticism: the retreat often blends real science, preliminary research, speculative hypotheses, and spiritual beliefs in a way that makes them appear to have the same level of scientific support. They do not. Meditation itself can absolutely be valuable, and I do not think everything presented was wrong. In fact, some of the underlying research is genuinely interesting. But the conclusions drawn from it are often much stronger than the data warrant. My recommendation to anyone attending would be to separate the meditation practices from the scientific explanations and to read the original studies independently before accepting the broader claims about healing, energy, manifestation, or the quantum field. I would recommend to spent your money elsewhere.

he has no medical knowledge, spreads false information and only keeps on repeading himself. keep your money and rather do your mediatations elsewhere.

Wie ganz viele andere das schon gemacht haben, inszeniert er sich als Guru, preist Transformation und neue Bewusstseinsstufen an die nur er einleiten kann und zieht Menschen in unter anderem schwierigen Lebenssituationen ein bisschen zu viel Geld aus der Tasche.

What a ridiculous thing that I spent over $6K to go to Joe Dispenza's Week Long Retreat and learn nothing more than what is in his Progressive course and meditations. They should call it the Hunger Games Retreat. Joe Dispenza and his followers (at least the majority at the retreat) were anything but the spiritually enlightened humans I thought I would encounter. Quite the opposite. Joe Dispenza is an arrogant man strutting around and dancing on stage with his sycophants gaslighting themselves and others with toxic positivity. The lines to the Hunger Games Retreat auditorium were messy and unfair, with selfish people stacking towels and mats to hold their place in line for hours before the doors open. And then other selfish attendees skipped the lines completely, while others waited patiently but then missed out because the selfish ones got all the good seats. Joe Dispenza couldn't even order enough snacks for everyone at the Week Long Retreat, I mean, the Hunger Games Retreat. Every single break time, attendees would frantically run out to the snack tables or jump the lines so they could gorge while others in wheelchairs or slow walkers went without snacks. After a few times of this happening, we asked server staff and they told us Joe Dispenza only orders around 500 snacks, even though there were about 1,800 attendees. WTF. $2,699 for the retreat + over $3K for lodging and travel to play the idiotic guru-obsessed Hunger Games.

I had purchased progressive online course, which I was using continously. Not that I just come to the website and see that it has dissappeared from my profile. And no answer from customer support, how can this be even possible?

This is a money making scheme first and foremost. Client wellbeing is secondary to the chance to sell as much "product" as possible to vulnerable consumers. The retreats in particular are vastly overpriced opportunities to exploit and profiteer. There are benefits in meditation but you can get that from a free app. When people are vulnerable they need help and support not exploitation, for a "wellness Guru" this organisation has the opposite effect to what it advertises.

After spending hours and hours of this practice I can say that Dispenza is just bulldozing people into some extatic state where supposedly you can create life that you want by already living it (similar as in book Secret). Basically it’s a great sales machine of promising a pie in the sky. But then the reality hits people. And they get depressed because they never got what they were expecting or they get things worse as they have huge conflict of expectations vs reality. His work doesn’t make people happier or healthier. Although living in fantasies is also not bad(and it’s expensive. Be ready to leave 500-1000$ easily in this rabbit hole!) The choice is yours. Ps: look at quantum entrainment as alternative. Much more realistic and useful.
