"Niels is a skilled facilitator. He prepares his retreat events perfectly, taking care of all details that come together resulting in the best experience possible. He inspires trust and confidence in the participants. Thank you, Niels. "
"Kind, caring and supportive! Thank you, Femke! "
"Even tough I was having such a hard time in the first half of this journey...I was in very good hands and felt very safe and well taking care of.
I am extremely greatful for this experience and I thank Niels and Femke from the bottom of my heart. "
"La Mezquita came along in my life at the exact time I needed them. Jolie, Klara, Pepi, Peter and Sansom are the absolute best. Sansom told me he and his staff “had my back” and they absolutely did. I can’t recommend them highly enough!. The group I went through the process with were kind, loving and caring people from all over the world. We all gathered there for all different reasons and we all gave eathother the space and room to learn, grow, and heal. If you are considering La Mezquita - take the leap - Sansom’s got you! Hope you meet Peter! He is a wonderful human being and someone I want to connect deeper with. He touched me in a deep and profound way! Thank you guys! It was nice to meet so many cool people. Namaste! "
"I had a lot of existential thoughts and blockages that I wanted to look at from a new perspective with the help of psilocybin. Alan took time in a Zoom call to understand me and my goals. I booked a 1 Day Private Psilocybin Ceremony in Amsterdam and Alan arrived to my flat. He took care of my needs at the time of the experience and provided a great guidance. Also the Zoom call conversation to integrate my experience into my life was very useful and helpful. My mind is now full of new ideas about old stuff, which never crossed my mind before. So I'm very grateful for this journey!"
"My psilocybin journey was a deeply transformative voyage into the depths of my psyche, where I confronted aspects of myself that had long been hidden beneath the surface. As ego boundaries dissolved, I gained profound insights into my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, laying the foundation for profound personal growth and introspection.
The guidance and support provided by Suzanne, Marion, James, and Sebastian were instrumental in guiding me through the labyrinth of the psychedelic experience. Their expertise and empathy created a nurturing environment in which I felt empowered to explore the recesses of my mind without fear or judgment. Whether offering gentle reassurance or profound insights, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the transformative power of psilocybin.
The surroundings in which my journey unfolded were nothing short of breathtaking. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the outside area and the cozy comforts of the indoor setting, every detail was meticulously curated to enhance the overall experience.
Above all, Suzanne, Marion, James, and Sebastian created an atmosphere of safety and trust that allowed me to fully surrender to the psychedelic experience. Their unwavering presence and compassionate care ensured that I felt supported and protected throughout the journey, enabling me to navigate the depths of my subconscious with courage and resilience.
In conclusion, my psilocybin journey was a profound odyssey of self-exploration and transformation, made possible by the exceptional guidance of Suzanne, Marion, James, and Sebastian, and the awe-inspiring surroundings that enveloped me. Through their collective efforts, they created a safe and nurturing space in which I could embark on a journey of inner discovery, emerging with newfound insights, clarity, and lightness."

"I had an amazing journey with Siddiq. He hosted me with his thoughtful and caring partner Payton that cooked amazingly vegan herbal meals. Both made me safe and comfortable. I had a wonderful big room in this arty house in the mountains. The perfect landscape to connect with mushrooms. Siddiq hold the space respectfully with presence and gave me an amazing massage to relax and get into my trip. He was present all along to support whenever I had emotional moments. I highly recommend to be accompany by Siddiq !"
"I grew up avoiding all illegal substances and have never had the desire to bring any of them into my life.
As I’ve aged, my desire to grow emotionally and spiritually has increased. Two years of talk therapy helped me confront and process many of my traumas, and gave me several tools to maintain my emotional health.
When my group and I were looking for a unique idea for our annual retreat, someone suggested InwardBound’s Costa Rica journey. I was skeptical, but willing to go along with the group - and I’m so glad I did!
The InwardBound team made us feel so welcomed and safe. The food was spectacular and the setting magical. Everything about the experience was curated to be just right.
My personal journey with the medicine was nothing short of life changing. I had an entheogenic experience resulting in several epiphanies and feel like I “broke through” to a plane of existence I didn’t know possible.
I highly recommend InwardBound and will likely refer several friends and family members their way. "
"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 recommend this retreat to anyone who is interested in trying these medicines in a safe and non-judgemental environment. I had a call with Emma and Gloria before the retreat and they were very patient in answering any questions I had. They both have an extremely calming and warm presence and are very knowledgeable in their fields. During the ceremony they were exceptionally responsive and in tune with what everybody needed in that moment and I was very impressed and appreciative of them.
The retreat itself attracted interesting women who were also drawn to reflection, self-improvement and vulnerability. I found it very rewarding to meet other people who were interested in experiencing transformative changes in their lives and felt like we had a lot of meaningful conversations. Thank you Emma and Gloria for a wonderful retreat and for all the work you do!"
"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 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."
"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. "
"In all my years I've NEVER experienced anything quite like this retreat... From the time I reached out to Gloria & Emma I was met with such kindness and every question I had was responded to super quick! I was nervous as I didn't know what to expect and I am still trying to put words to what has been a life-changing experience... My life imploded last year due to a cancer diagnosis and I was looking for something to help me heal from the terror and extreme anxieties that I experienced during my treatment. I have found that and so much more... This retreat was like pressing a 'reset' button, I feel an inner strength and calmness that I haven't experienced in a very long time (if ever..!)..
I feel I also need to mention the space that is created by Gloria, Emma and Almu as I've never experienced such a sacred space that was always filled with kindness, compassion, dignity and respect. The food was an experience in itself, always made with love and so, so tasty (thank you Almu & Sonnica!)!
These are all very special women who have created something so sacred and I feel blessed to have met each and everyone of them and to have had this life -changing experience. "
"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."
"They experience its a solid 10 points!!! Since arrival and up until the end, the level of service, commitment and care, for the customers is as valuable as it can get. We came as a couple and each one was able to have his/her own transformational, transcendental, personal experience. Food was natural organic and delicious. Fantastic experience overall with wonderful human beings.
Recommended 100% is an understatement."
"Na deze retreat was ik precies herboren en heb ik terug mijzelf geworden. De retreat heeft mijn ogen geopend👌. Ik vond de retreat zo goed dat ik nog een keer gegaan ben met mijn familie.
