About this Retreat
Jakobien offers empathy, sensitivity and groundedness to the retreats. Her curiosity about spiritual practices and worldviews of people across the globe led her to explore psychedelics at an early age. This complemented her other lifelong interests such as travel, arts, shamanism, Buddhism, and Kundalini yoga.
She’s been supporting the psychedelic renaissance in science since 2016, and got trained as a holistic coach and trauma practitioner in the meanwhile. For several years now, she supports people on their journeys with microdosing or full doses. Her special interests are trauma recovery, women’s health, and neurodivergency.
She sees the retreat as an opportunity for both participants and team to embrace the whole spectrum of our human experience ever more fully, and that can bring greater harmony to all our relationships—including the relationship with ourselves, our communities and Mother Nature.
Details of this retreat
Ready to explore psychedelics as a catalyst for better mental health, vitality, and self-understanding?
My 8-week psilocybin journey program is legal, safe, and private. The journey and therapeutic support are highly personalized to suit your intentions and needs.
Magic truffles are legally used in the Netherlands as the psilocybin-containing alternative for mushrooms. I create a ceremonial setting in reverence to the sacred, and apply therapeutic methods to foster deep learning and growth. A journey with truffles allows for a deeper connection to your inner healing intellingence, while I support you in extracting profound insights from your journey and integrating these into your life long term.
What your truffle experience will look like, can't be known upfront—every journey is unique. One thing is sure: it's not just the experience that brings change. It's your ability to connect to your inner world, and maintain that connection throughout your everyday life. By choosing to undergo a full dose truffle journey you embark on a path of surrendering, opening up and honoring your learnings.
What others have to say about this program:
Sara Jane:
"I am so grateful that I was introduced to Jakobien and was able to work with her for my introduction to truffles. The entire experience has felt grounded, intentional, and safe. The focus on intention and reflection in the two preparation sessions before the truffles ceremony and two integration sessions afterward were just as powerful as the journey itself. Jakobien orchestrated the most beautiful and nourishing setting for my ceremony which allowed me to let go and open up to the experience.
During the journey I felt at times like a bird, flying and revisiting spaces from my past with new insight. There were tears and there was laughter, and lots and lots of gratitude. There was never any fear. I get the sense from Jakobien that she is a person who is doing exactly what she is meant to be doing. She draws from her own experiences with the psilocybin and other training, including trauma therapy, and that depth of knowledge really comes through in the way she non-judgmentally holds space and supports the process. She is kind, thoughtful, and never made me feel rushed. With Jakobien's guidance I set an intention to feel more at ease in my life - to be able to rest and enjoy the feeling that I am enough (instead of the constant nagging feeling that I should be and do more). Since this experience I feel like a real shift has taken place. I am no longer moving through life feeling frantic all the time and am able to have fun and relaxed in all the little moments more, no matter how messy they might be. Thanks to Jakobien I'm learning how to use psilocybin as another tool to support me in healing, growth, and enjoying this life!"
Vincent:
"Being able to connect, review parts of my personality, resolve mental blocks, let go and find the ability to actually make changes in myself; for me no other therapy accomplished more than this journey."
Marigai:
"This experience was life-changing. The careful preparation and the safe and sacred space Jakobien created, and the deep journey itself all came together in a way that left me transformed.”
Maarten:
"Jakobien has extensive experience guiding truffle ceremonies. I had several preparatory conversations with her, and they felt thorough and thoughtful. By the time the day of my ceremony finally arrived, I felt completely reassured and prepared — which contributes enormously to your confidence in having a good experience.
Many people who have had a mystical experience during a psychedelic journey describe it as one of the most significant events of their lives. I think that's because those people go on to live differently afterwards — the psychedelic gave them a nudge in a new direction. I experienced this myself. My life hasn't changed fundamentally since the journey, but I place certain emphases differently, and I find myself enjoying nature much more, for example. For me, slowing down was the most important lesson. Slowing down and going with the flow.
Completely switching off your ego — whether through psychedelics or through meditation — isn't something you do every day. But once you've experienced it, you'll find that you're more able to partially step out of the ego more regularly. And when you do, it becomes easier to enter a flow state in which you become aware of a connectedness with something Greater Than Yourself."
