Your retreat experience
Our retreats are held in small, intimate groups of up to 16 people, offering a supportive space for whatever may arise. With a facilitator for every 4 participants, our team can meet you exactly where you are.
Meals are thoughtfully prepared by our chefs—nourishing, delicious, and designed to support the flow of your psilocybin experience.
The psychedelic journeys can be a powerful catalyst, inviting a spectrum of emotional, visual, and somatic experiences. We hold a compassionate and committed container for these moments, giving your experiences room to unfold, be witnessed, and be supported as they emerge.

We all have questions
ABOUT THE RETREAT
How do I book my spot in a Kiyumi retreat?
As we accept your finished application, you will immediately receive an email with a link to the payment options. Once paid, your participation is fully confirmed for your chosen retreat.
How many participants will be there?
A middle-sized group of up to 16 participants offer the best of both worlds, enough space for yourself and your processes as well as many occasions to get inspired during the workshops and the several group’s exchanges.
How many facilitators?
With a ratio of 1 facilitator per 4 participants, it is a team of 4 to 5 team members.
Can I talk to someone before my booking?
Yes, of course. We offer free discovery calls with one of our facilitators in which you can ask questions, get an overview of our programs, and a feel for our work. Please book via: CALENDLY
Do you offer 1-to-1 Preparation and integration coaching?
Yes, for every participant in a retreat, we offer one preparation session before the retreat and one integration session after the retreat, in addition to several sessions during the retreat. It is also possible to book more sessions with one of our team of integration therapists for an additional fee. Please refer to our Integration Support page on the website for more information.
RETREAT ELIGIBILITY
Is this a psychedelic therapy?
Currently non-clinical settings such as a retreat do not allow us to provide therapy. We offer a tailored program as well as a safer space held by our trained team of experienced guides. These experiences may be therapeutic, though cannot substitute therapy.
What if I am currently in therapy?
Therapy can be incredibly supportive to the retreat process and provide a space for you to allow your process to continue unfolding. It is advisable to inform your therapist of your decision to work with psilocybin truffles. If your therapist is unfamiliar with the research showing psilocybin’s effects, you may want to refer them to some reference pages. Many therapists who were initially skeptical of psilocybin have come to embrace its benefit to their patients.
Is my medication compatible with this experience?
It is important that your application reflects your actual state as well as your medication. Some might have contraindications and we need to make sure we can safely work together before, during and after the retreat.
What are the main contra-indications?
According to research on the use of psychedelics and mental health there are certain conditions for which psychedelic use is not advised. These are schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. There are also mental health challenges for which group retreats are not suitable and for which therapy would be more appropriate (e.g. people actively struggling with substance use disorder, suicidal thought patterns, etc.). These guidelines ensure the well being of our participants and we hope for your understanding. Through our application process seeks to support each person in the best way possible.
Unfortunately we cannot accept anyone taking antidepressant medication at this time. This is because SSRI and SNRI antidepressants work on the same receptor system as psilocybin and block the effects of it. Trying to overwhelm the medication with the truffles is not a sensible approach.

Travel Preparations, Accommodations & Catering

Arrival: Before 13:00 CET Onward travel: After 18:00 CET
The retreat group will meet earliest at 13:00 CET at the Kokopelli Smartshop /kokopelli.nl. The smartshop is located about a 5 minutes walk from Amsterdam Central Station. Here, the group will gather and also buy the truffles for the retreat. A facilitator will meet you there and bring you to the shuttle.
You may also choose to make your own way to the venue. The address of the venue will be in your preparation kit sent upon your registration.
The retreat ends around 13:00 CET on the last day. You will arrive at Amsterdam Central Station between 16:00 – 17:00. Please book your onward travel accordingly.
What to Bring
You will receive a digital preparation kit from us upon your registration in which you will be informed about what to bring and how to prepare for the retreat.
What kind of food will be served?
The meal plan is specifically adapted to the retreat, taking specific care in nutrition needed before and after your psychedelic journey. Nutrition is important for health and joy in life, and Kiyumí emphasizes delicious and healthy food as part of a happy life. All food is plant-based to ensure compatibility for everyone and is designed to meet dietary nutritional needs. Moreover, we ask you to notify us of any specific dietary requirements that you may have due to allergies, for example.
Can I have a single room?
Yes, depending on availability and date of your request/booking. There is an additional cost of 250€ all together for 5 nights. You can book this during your registration with us. The number of private rooms is limited and given on a first come, first served basis. In a shared room you will generally share with only 1 other person.
How do I get there?
For each retreat, there is the option to book a spot in the group taxi that will pick you up on arrival day and drop you off on leaving day near Amsterdam Centraal Station. There is an additional cost of 75€.
Do I need to bring anything specifically?
The venue provides bed sheets and towels but no toiletry. We invite you to bring reusable bottles over single-use ones. It is always useful to bring comfortable clothing and your sauna-kit to relax in your free times during the retreat.
Can I come to the retreat late or leave a day early?
Unfortunately, it is not possible for participants to arrive a day late or leave a day early. The retreat is constructed in a way to create a safe container for all participants and in which all parts are important for the individual as well as group experience. We also recommend taking some time off after the retreat, a day or more, to allow for a smooth transition back into daily life.
Psychedelic Substance and Dosages
Why are truffles used?
Fungi are complex beings in which the mushroom is only one part of the whole. The mushroom is the fruiting body of fungi and is visible above the ground. The larger part of fungi is actually below ground and is called the mycelium. This is a web of thin fibers that grow through the soil, wood, and organic matter. The mycelium connects plants and trees within a forest, exchanges minerals and food with plants, and digests and breaks down plant matter. Some species of mushrooms have adapted to droughts by creating tough knots of mycelium beneath the ground, which are commonly called truffles. We use truffles in our retreat as psilocybin containing mushrooms are not legally regulated in the Netherlands. As such, truffles may have a different appearance, yet they share the same active ingredient with the so-called “magic mushrooms”.
How are the truffles ingested?
Participants will ingest the truffles in a ginger tea infusion which allows fast absorption and helps reduce the possibility of nausea.
Do I have to fear strong negative emotions?
While participants very often describe blissful experiences, strong challenging emotions can also be part of it. It is important to always keep in mind that these emotions are transient and part of your personal experience. For some people experiencing a difficult patch in a safely held space can be very meaningful and helpful to understand more about themselves.
How is the correct dosage determined?
The recommended dosage goes from 1 to 1.5 packs (between 25gr to 37gr) of a specific strain to maintain safety and consistent results. Which is around 30-35mg of the active compound Psilocybin. It depends on your medical history, body weight, personality type, and previous experience with psychedelics. Ultimately, you will determine the amount with your dedicated facilitator. We require that you respect and trust our dosage recommendations, as your safety is our number one priority.
Are psilocybin-containing truffles toxic?
Psilocybin is a substance with a very low toxicity profile and which interacts with the serotonin system. The serotonin system is a network of receptors and pathways in the brain that regulates mood, emotions, sleep, and perception. By influencing this system, psilocybin can temporarily alter perception and thought patterns, often leading to profound experiences. According to research by Professor David Nutt, psilocybin is one of the least harmful psychoactive substances, with a safety profile far superior to many commonly used mental health medications. This makes it a promising tool in therapeutic applications and personal exploration when used responsibly.
