About After the Rains

Mission & Vision

We provide a carefully prepared setting in a deeply peaceful environment within which to experience the psychoactive effects of psilocybe mushrooms. The retreat will be organised around activities designed to reaffirm our connection to our bodies, our connection to each other and our connection to nature. The retreat is aimed both at those who have never had a psychedelic experience before and also at those who have, but wish to approach it in a more intentional way.

Magical time
The retreat was nothing short of magic. Oliver and Carla were extremely warm, authentic and knowledgable - creating a safe and trusting space for the group to open up and share their intentions and let go during the ceremony whilst knowing we were in capable and loving hands.

Both of Ollies and Carlas passion, love of what they do, along with a good dose of humour meant the group felt relaxed and at ease straight away.

The music Oliver creates is immensly beautiful and added a depth to the journey that I didn't know I could access. The rituals and ceremony along with periods of stillness and connection ensured a beautiful setting was created to make the most of the journey. Which was profound, awe-ful and healing.

I HIGHLY recommend this retreat and no doubt will return myself.

Big Recommendation!!
I cannot recommend Oliver and this retreat highly enough. Oliver’s passion and experience are evident in everything he does. From the moment we arrived, he was really welcoming, helping us explore the village of Alpens and sharing interesting insights into its history and culture.

The setting itself is so beautiful —Alpens is one of the most beautiful villages I’ve ever visited, and the location of the ceremony was truly astonishing. The psilocybin ceremony was a profound experience, and even during the more challenging moments, I always felt Oliver’s strong support and guidance. I knew I was in good hands.

Oliver’s attention to detail made all the difference: the carefully chosen music, his live performances, and even the delicious food served after the ceremony were all superb. Every aspect was thoughtfully curated to enhance the experience.

I would always return and wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone considering it. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!

Just WOW✨
My time in the magical and special village of Alpens was one of the most profound, healing, and mysterious experiences of my life. I couldn’t have wished for a better guide than Carla, nor a more nurturing place filled with such warm, feminine energy. There is still so much to integrate, but it already holds a very special place in my heart. I never expected to reach the depth of healing I was able to surrender to. Highly recommend💜
