Our mission is to guide people through meaningful inner exploration in a safe, supportive, and grounded retreat environment. We create the conditions for self-discovery and personal growth through carefully guided experiences that emphasise presence, clarity, and integration.
Vision
Our vision is to support lasting personal transformation through a holistic approach built on three essential pillars: breathwork, psilocybin, and ongoing support. By combining these elements within a well-structured psychedelic retreat setting, we aim to foster insight and sustainable change that extends well beyond the retreat itself.
Our retreats take place at a private, nature-immersed retreat centre designed for calm and presence. The space includes comfortable rooms with en-suite bathrooms, a spacious communal area for ceremonies and breathwork, expansive gardens, quiet corners for reflection, and a natural pond. In summer, ceremonies are held in a large bell tent, grounded by the presence of a 150-year-old tree.
The retreat centre is a 55-minute drive from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and a 40-minute drive from Rotterdam Airport. Via public transport, you could travel to train station Gorinchem. No worries, we assist you with your travel arrangements.

Life changing experience
My partner and myself had true pleasure of attending the elevated minds 3 day retreat. Neil’s and Fleur were amazing hosts. The attention to detail was impeccable. You truly felt like you were at home, safe and secure. All aspects as an individual my requirements were met and even excelled. The lovely house we resided in was beautiful, clean and comforting. It was bliss to not know the time of day and have zero access to any form of technology. It truly was for my partner and I a life changing experience. We have met some great people on the journey too who we could now consider friends. If you are looking to take the journey then I can unequivocally recommend elevated minds! Neil’s, Fleur we will most definitely see you again in the future. A’ho!

Consider my mind elevated
I genuinely don't think you could find nicer hosts than Niels and Fleur. We felt incredibly safe in their company, but also incredibly welcome. They seem to genuinely love their work, and they're very, very gifted at it. And the experience itself was life-changing. The whole process built and built in perfect preparation for the main ceremony, and then provided a wonderful integration experience afterwards. We'll be back.

Highly recommended!
I was nervous about trying this experience for the first time at a retreat, but Niels guided us through every step from setting intentions and breathwork to the final ceremony. The meals were light, healthy, and enjoyed by everyone.
As for the experience itself, each person had their own journey. From my side, it brought me a great deal of clarity and a fresh perspective. This experience taught me a lot about myself, and I would definitely do it again.

Elevated Minds Retreat by Michael D
The experience offered is really exceptional. The combination of the psilocybin with pre and post holistic Breathwork sessions is very powerful. The small number of participants gives enough power to the group work and allows closer contact within the group. The other aspects of the retreat - cacao ceremony, micro-dosing, confidence building and letting go sessions, ice bath - are a consistent wrap-around the core experience. The people are super professional and caring. All-in-all it can be life-changing.

If you're thinking about it, go for it :)
I absolutely loved everything about this weekend! It was an amazing experience, that felt like a once-in-a-lifetime-weekend. It was my first experience with truffels (or any psychedelics for that matter) and being somewhat of anxious person, I did a lot of research on the subject of mushrooms but still went in being a little worried of what was about to come. The pre-call with Femke helped tremendously and ever since arriving, I felt absolutely safe and held by Femke and her partner (both seemed to be very experienced and knowledgable in what they were doing), which allowed me to fully embrace the experience. It was absolutely amazing and I was able to get some very helpful insights about myself and life in general. Can highly recomend! And omg, the music - I still listen to it all the time, to remember the weekend :).
