About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

Colorado’s Psychedelic Renaissance: The Rise of Retreat Centers and What to Watch For

In recent years, Colorado has quietly become a hotspot for the psychedelic wellness movement. What once might have seemed fringe or experimental is now grounding itself in legal frameworks, therapeutic intent, and entrepreneurial energy. Among the most compelling signals of this shift is the growing number of psilocybin retreat centers setting up shop across the state.

From Proposition 122 to a Landscape of Retreats

After Colorado voters approved Proposition 122 (the Natural Medicine Health Act) in 2022, the legal environment opened for supervised use of psilocybin and other natural psychedelics under regulated conditions. The groundwork for licensed healing centers was built, with governing agencies laying out rules for facilitators, safe spaces, and public oversight.

In response, visionary operators began preparing retreat-style operations, often blending nature, integration therapy, and immersive sessions. These retreat centers typically offer multi-day stays, guided sessions, group integration circles, and a focus on holistic well-being. While not all of them will or can operate under full state licensing immediately, many are positioning themselves to bridge the gap between underground offerings and the regulated model.

Why So Many Retreats Are Popping Up

Several factors are fueling the uptick in retreats:

  • Demand for immersive experiences: Many people view single-session therapy as insufficient for deeper transformation. Retreats allow for preparation, journey, and integration phases within a structured container.

  • Regulatory uncertainty but room for innovation: Until the full licensing regime kicks in, many retreats are operating in semi-legal or gray-area spaces, striking a balance between safety, best practices, and flexibility.

  • Strategic location and natural appeal: Colorado’s landscapes—mountains, forests, wide skies—offer a tranquil backdrop that enhances the inward journey.

  • Reputation building and trust: A well-run retreat can act as a showcase, building credibility, testimonials, and relationships ahead of full legalization.

  • Community & ecosystem effects: Retreat operators, facilitators, therapists, and local wellness businesses are forming micro-ecosystems that support one another.

But with rapid growth comes risk. A flood of new centers inevitably brings variability in quality, safety, transparency, and ethics. That’s why anyone considering a retreat must choose wisely.

What to Look for in a Psilocybin Retreat in Colorado

Below are important criteria and red flags to consider when vetting retreat centers. Use them as a checklist to help you find one that prioritizes safety, integrity, and your well-being.

Positive Indicators

Licensed or preparing for licensing: The retreat actively engages with Colorado’s regulatory body or aims to comply with DORA facilitator/healing center rules.

Experienced facilitators: Staff with documented training in psychedelic facilitation, trauma work, somatic therapy, or related fields.

Medical screening & psychological assessment: Pre-retreat health questionnaires, interviews, safety protocols for contraindications.

Safe setting & environment: Quiet, controlled surroundings; comfortable lodging; respectful boundaries; emergency plans.

Integration support: Post-experience sessions, group sharing, therapy, or coaching to help digest the journey.

Clear informed consent: Written materials about risks, expectations, contraindications, and being able to opt out.

Reasonable group size and ratio: Enough facilitators per participants to maintain safety and support.

Community & ethics orientation: Fair pricing, sliding scales, service mission, feedback mechanisms.

Red Flags / Warning Signs

Claims of offering “dispensary-style” sales of psilocybin (illegal under current law).

Lack of transparency about facilitator credentials or background.

No intake assessment or blanket acceptance regardless of mental health history.

Harsh conditions, uncontrolled environments, or minimal infrastructure.

No mention of integration or only minimal follow-up.

Vague disclosures, overly hyped promises, or lack of risk education.

Crowded settings with few facilitators; neglect of individualized support.

High-pressure sales, upsells, or lack of ethical or community orientation.

Ignoring local zoning, operating in conflict with local bans or restrictions.

Bridging Into the Legal Framework

As retreat centers proliferate, they exist in a transition zone: between the informal and the fully licensed. Until the state rolls out licensed healing centers, retreats will often operate somewhat under the radar making diligence all the more important. But soon, many of these retreats may evolve into or partner with fully regulated centers, offering more legitimacy, oversight, and patient protections.

If you’d like to dig deeper into Colorado’s laws, the regulatory roadmap, or how to evaluate retreats more thoroughly, you can read “Psilocybin in Colorado: What to Know (2025)” by Odyssey, which lays out the legal status, access pathways, and more.
