After the Rains

A comprehensive and complex retreat - carefully thought out and planned, but still felt process-oriented and organically carried out.
Oliver and Carla really know what they are doing, very experienced, knowledgeable and skilled at both creating a good group dynamic and individual follow-up of each individual. I felt very well looked after - right from the first interview beforehand, during the retreat, and to the integration interview afterwards.
It is clear that Oliver and Carla know a lot about the importance of set and setting, which was emphasized by the execution and the location they have chosen for the retreat. Although the pictures on the website are nice, they do not reflect how wonderfully beautiful and nicely situated this place is and how special it felt to be there!

My time with Oliver and Carla from After the Rains was wonderful. From delicious, local produce, to unbelievably comfortable mattresses, to the most magical setting, everything was beyond expectations.

The ceremony and individual experience was well cared for and it felt very special seeing the ceremonial space for the first time as so much thought had gone into it. My psilocybin experience was only made better by Oliver and Carla's presence and genuine respect for the drug and it's potential. I particularly enjoyed how all ones senses had been catered for; instruments for sound, burning pine resin for smell, the option of an eye mask for sight, ginger sweets and lemon tek for taste (as well as nausea), lavender weighted cushion for smell and touch, and a blanket for touch.

I was also very grateful to be shown, and learn, how to extract the psilocybin from the mushrooms into a lemon tek, rather than eating the mushrooms directly.

I attended the retreat with my friend, and we both got on really well with our fellow participants. We were completely different people from all over the world but we felt connected through our personal journeys and reasons for being on the retreat.

Thank you Oliver & Carla <3

Oliver and Carla are true caretakers for anyone attempting to reclaim peace and sanity in their lives. They are intuitive, kind, and masters of their craft. Every detail was in place, from getting us to the retreat at the train station to asking questions about our dietary needs and showing up in a way that would make you feel heard and seen. The yoga classes and cuisine were first-class. I could not imagine two finer people holding the space for those who are called to it.

Based at that stunning foothills of the Alpens, with the base for the retreat being an amazingly renovated farm house- the retreat is a welcome get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! You'll spend your days cooking, hiking, do yoga and forming a close bond with your fellow participants- all being more than ably facilitated from start to finish by Carla and Oliver- thanks both for a lovely break!

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!
