What to Expect: Our retreats facilitate legal, powerful and connective psychedelic processes that deeply explore mind, body and spirit. Our program encompasses an in-depth process from preparation to integration and includes diverse holistic practices and workshops, such as yoga, free dance, somatic voice/sound work, mindfulness, art and other contemplative and embodiment practices. 

We host our retreats in close-to-nature retreat centers, located within a two-hour drive from Amsterdam in the Netherlands. We invite you to connect with nature and simplicity by spending time in the countryside, away from technology and in a communal environment.

The retreat is facilitated in small groups of up to 15 - 16 people to ensure an intimate and secure experience, with a ratio of one facilitator for every four participants. Meals are prepared by our body-conscious chefs and are specially designed to be delicious, nutritious and supportive of the psilocybin ceremonies.

Psilocybin can be a powerful substance and produce a wide array of experiences. The spectrum of experiences can be from emotional, visual, and/or somatic. However, each person reacts in different ways and we cannot guarantee a specific experience. Although current clinical research describes great positive outcomes, the research of retreat settings as well as long term effects is still in its infancy and further research is needed. 

Who is this program for? This retreat is open to people in balanced mental health and physical who are interested in exploring themselves in a psychedelic self-development context outside of the context of therapy.

What’s Included:

  • 2 psilocybin journeys

  • Integrative practices and workshops, including embodiment, creativity, and contemplative practices

  • 3 in-person meetings with personal facilitator

  • 1 online preparation meeting with personal facilitator before retreat

  • 1 online integration meeting with personal facilitator after retreat

  • 1 online group integration meeting

  • A preparation/integration kit sent before/after the retreat guiding self-navigation

  • Full accommodation

  • Meals supporting your journey with delicious, plant-based, and nutritious food

  • And much more…
