"I recently had the privilege of participating in a session facilitated by Siddiq, and I must say it was a truly meaningful experience. From the moment I reached out to inquire about joining a psilocybin session, Siddiq was incredibly attentive and supportive. He took the time to address all my concerns and provided invaluable materials to help me prepare for the session, including a wealth of resources like videos, podcasts, and books. These resources served as a roadmap for further exploration and reflection, both before and after the session.
Upon arriving at the retreat, Siddiq made me feel completely at ease. He listened attentively to my apprehensions and took proactive steps to ensure my comfort. The relaxation exercises we engaged in beforehand were instrumental in calming my nerves and fostering a sense of acceptance.
Throughout the session, Siddiq was a steadfast presence, guiding me through each stage of the journey with compassion and expertise. His unwavering support, whether it was holding my hand during moments of fear or offering insightful suggestions when I felt lost, was truly invaluable. Even after the effects of the mushroom had subsided, Siddiq remained by my side, helping me process and integrate the experience.
The following day, we took a rejuvenating walk in the woods, allowing me to reconnect with nature and engage in meaningful conversation. Through it all, I came to a profound realization: individuals like Siddiq are the catalysts for healing in this world. His dedication, empathy, and wisdom have left an indelible mark on me, and for that, I am deeply grateful."

"I went into this experience open minded not knowing what to expect as I had never done anything like it. All I can say is WOW I was completely mind blown. The whole hearted love and support I felt while there was out of this world! I came out a whole new women with a mind set I never thought I could achieve.
I would highly recommend to anybody looking to change their mindset or just have time to relax and reconnect.
Danilo and Ilse are the most warm welcoming and loving couple to invite you into their beautiful home in the most beautiful location. They really helped me feel connected and I am very thankful for the emotional support they gave me during my time with them. "
"The Inward Bound team is class-A in terms of knowledge, preparation, and implementation. I organized a private retreat for myself and fellow business colleagues in the Costa Rica retreat center and was delighted with the experience. The focus on intentionality was clear, enabling us to glean significant value individually and collectively through thoughtful prompts and processes.
If you are seeking a life changing experience, I encourage you to join the Inward Bound team for a scheduled or private retreat."
"Lala has an exceptional talent for insight and guidance to brighten anyone's day."
"An amazing, loving and bubbly grandmother I never new I had."
"I had no idea what to expect coming to this retreat but now reflecting back I couldn't have picked a better place. The location, the team, the services and the atmosphere were all exceptional and literally mind blowing. I wish I could've stayed forever."
"This was my first psilocybin experience and even though I was incredibly nervous and scared, I felt very safe in the hands of Wouter and Aleece. They both were very patient and caring taking the time to answer my questions. The setting was incredibly peaceful for me both during and after my journey. I’m so happy I did this and found Wouter and Aleece to help guide me. "
"Three days in which I received a lot of warmth, understanding and trust. The group became my family, Carla and Oliver gave their all, and the days spent with them gave me knowledge and care, and became a part of my life. Thank you!"
"This experience was beyond anything I could have imagined or dreamt of. The support and guidance is unlike anything I have seen before. With small groups the connection to the facilitators but also the other participants is so much deeper, than at other retreats. This also means that they can make individual adjustments to the group or single participants, if needed. The sessions and integration are so immersive, it is hard to put in words. Ilse is singing with the voice of a goddess and Danilo has the gift to always feel/know exactly what song or sound are needed to gently drive the participants in full immersion. Also I loved that they were not acting like untouchable gurus, but were vulnerable and shared parts of their journeys as well. This helped me a lot to connect and let my guard down completely to get the most out of the retreat. Also the location is amazing. They grow fresh foods and veggies on the little farm, there is a small river and also some hills to go for a little hike. The ideal spot to relax and connect with nature. "
"I attended the retreat knowing I had to find some deep emotional change to deal with many life difficulties and find a path that was right for me. And boy did I find it with Danilo and Ilse. They provide a very loving and compassionate experience for all guests to explore their most personal needs. I can honestly say that I have found an achievable way to grow and flourish with a higher perspective and more positive life to come. The retreat will challenge you but the rewards are worth every effort. There is magic here in these people.. book it in and embrace the beautiful experience of FromGaiaForYou."
"After the rain experience was beond all expectations. Lovated in the forested hils with breathtaking views. The local is newly renovated with luxorious rooms and a spacious common area. But the best where our hosts Oliver and Carla who made everybody feel welcome and comfortable. Their warm and knowledgable guidance, and grate musical talents made the whole ecperience as unforgetable as possible!
Many thanks!"
"Thank you Carla and Oliver for being at the initiative of this retreat. You have created the perfect place for people to feel like home and enjoy the power of magical mushrooms. The organization was really flexible and adapted to the group. I really had a wonderful time, thank you again. "
"I have been at similar retreats before, but what Danilo and Ilse are doing is absolutely outstanding. Doing the retreat in a small group is key to build trust and be able to guide each participant individually. Danilo has helped me to resolve emotional, mental and physical issues that troubled me and prepared me to be able to receive a wonderful, one of a lifetime experience with the plant medicines. He has earned my deepest trust and respect.
As for the ceremony itself, Ilse and Danilo created a truly magical atmosphere with music, singing, playing guitar and piano and performing various rituals that helped me to connect with very ancient wisdom and spirits. They are exceptionally skilled holistic healers. I left the retreat enchanted with high spirits, motivation and inspiration for my life journey.
I highly recommend the retreat for everyone who seeks support on their journey and is open to receive a deeply mystical expirience. It is not meant to be understood with the scientific method and one has to let go and trust them but then this is precisely why it's so powerful. "
"My experience with InwardBound was nothing short of magical, offering a deep dive into personal growth within a serene and invigorating environment. The program masterfully combines ancient wisdom with modern practices, facilitated by a team of empathetic and skilled guides. This journey not only fostered profound self-discovery but also cultivated a strong sense of community among participants, against the backdrop of nature’s breathtaking beauty.
InwardBound excels in creating a holistic experience that nurtures the soul and mind, making it a pivotal moment in my personal development journey. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful path toward self-discovery and spiritual awakening."

"Niels and Femke are experienced facilitators and have provided me with everything I needed for taking my first psilocybin trip. There was an initial intake call, in which we talked about why I was considering this and what it looks like to take the trip. This call also gauges whether I'd benefit from the trip. Two weeks prior, I got a further email in detail to prepare for the trip (dos and don'ts, among others). During the session, we had a serene location in a small Dutch village, along with several other participants. They are also great at bringing people together. We had some discussions, instructions, and breathwork sessions that prepared us for the psilocybin journey. As a result, I felt relaxed and prepared for the journey which is indeed the case (also the music felt very immersive - with additional instruments being played on top of the played music. I learned by now that music is also a very important setting element.). Afterward, we gathered together, had our delicious vegan dinner, shared and reflected on our experiences, and danced. The sharing sessions bring people closer and reflect on each of our journeys, as is the dance. We stayed overnight, had our breakfast, gathered together and departed back to our homes. All in all, a very well-arranged and organized retreat from the accommodation, meals, events rundown, and the set/setting for the psilocybin trip. I am grateful for both facilitators, as well as my fellow participants."
"I had the absolute pleasure of taking part in a Plant Medicine & Therapy session with Aleece and Wouter.
Being picked up and welcomed to their beautiful home with stunning views over sunkissed, misty mountains. Here I was greeted by cats, dogs, and two very professional guides.
The setting was so perfect for a smooth and positive experience. Everything about this meeting and session was so loving and caring. I would recommend anyone who feels the calling for this type of session, to visit these two professional psychologists at this retreat.
You are in such good hands the whole time, I can't imagine a better set and setting.
Thank you, Aleece and Wouter!

"My retreat with Marion & Suzanne was my first experience with psychedelics and it was a complete eye-opener. They helped me throughout the process, preparing it, having the right intention, losing the fear before going.
We were super spoiled as a group and we really enjoyed it.
I strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore oneself deeper or wanting to get introduced to the world of psilocybin.
