Details of this retreat

Explore the Mindful use of Psilocybin in the comfort of your own private space.

Our Private Psilocybin Retreats are attuned to your individual needs, enhancing the healing qualities of the psilocybin truffles and mushrooms. We provide our private retreats ‘on location’, meaning we’re able to let the Psilocybin Retreat come to you.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

This quote from Swiss psychologist Carl Jung impeccably summarizes a profound aspect of the human condition; our capacity to be unaware of the deeper forces behind our modes of thought, emotion and action. These unconscious drives underlying our behavior aren’t always guiding us towards health and balance. On the contrary, it more often than not leaves us feeling increasingly isolated and ‘stuck in our ways’. A psilocybin induced psychedelic experience has the potential to help us see beyond our conditioning and be the catalyst for lasting transformation.

A Private Psilocybin Retreat is for anyone looking to:

Experience Connectedness

Find Meaning and Purpose

Expand your Mind

Open your Heart

Access and Process Emotional Blockages

If these are the Psychedelic Elements you’re looking for then you’ve found the right facilitator, able to guide and support you on your inner quest.

YOUR FACILITATOR: GREGORY

It was curiosity that called Gregory towards his first psilocybin truffle experience nearly 7 years ago, which led to countless solo journeys, establishing an intimate relationship with the sacred fungi. The truffles and mushrooms have been his greatest allies, increasingly guiding him towards sharing the psychedelic space to experience psilocybin in a safe and mindful way. And so he has done, facilitating hundreds of journeys over the last 4 years. Gregory’s approach is best described as mindful and humane. His understanding of emotions and psychology, which together with his intuitive qualities (listening & empathy) gives him a unique perspective on what’s required during a deep psychedelic experience. Holding space, providing a grounding presence and a strong intuition gives him the credentials needed to take your Psilocybin Journey to the next level.

WHAT IS PSILOCYBIN, AND WHAT ARE MAGIC TRUFFLES?

Psilocybin or its derivative psilocin are both a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in more than 200 species of hallucinogenic mushrooms and truffles all around the world.

For thousands of years psilocybin mushrooms and truffles have been used in religious and shamanic ceremonies in many different cultures around the world. During recent years, a lot of scientific research has been done on psilocybin, the results show great promise of using these psycho-active compounds for managing treatment-resistant forms of depression, anxiety, addiction and PTSD.

A Magic Truffle is very similar to a magic mushroom in it’s mind altering effects, with a bit of a sour tasting nut-like flavor. Both truffles and mushrooms contain the psychoactive element of psilocybin, enabling you access to non-ordinary states of consciousness.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A JOURNEY?

The private psilocybin session stands out through addressing the specific need of each individual. Unlike most retreats our emphasis lies on the intimacy of a private session. Experience taught us that the group setting has its benefits, but oftentimes influences and may even disrupt the dynamic of the individual journey.

Preparation and Integration are both at least as significant as the psilocybin journey itself. Considering the context of our relationship with the psilocybin mushrooms and truffles, we choose to not refer to our retreats as ‘ceremonies’. We don’t adopt shamanic practices, and therefore you won’t be exposed to any rituals at our retreats. We do however incorporate practices we find helpful, like meditation, fasting, breathing techniques and music, intentionally creating a space suitable for introspection.

A psilocybin experience can also have challenging aspects, with our deepest fears and pain coming up to the surface during a trip. Moments like these oftentimes prove to be the most healing for the journeyer. An experienced facilitator is able to prepare you for these rougher phases, and support you through them.

During the journey it's all about the interaction between you and the psilocybin truffles. The facilitator is there to provide you with a physical and mental/emotional sense of safety and to hold space for whatever it is you like to express, whether verbally or emotionally.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A PSILOCYBIN JOURNEY?

Depending on your own preference, we can arrange a day or evening session. Whichever time you choose, we’ll first need to establish some practicalities to make sure we can journey safely.

After your reservation you’ll have to fill in our intake form to exclude any medical risks, after which we’ll have a preparation call to go through your motivation and establish your intention(s) for the journey.

On the day of the experience we recommend you to fast from solid foods at least four hours before consuming the truffles. The maximum effect of truffles is most achieved on an empty stomach, however drinking water or tea is fine.

On the day of the session, minimize the number of external distractions and cultivate a state of (body)awareness.

We also encourage you to refrain from heavy and processed foods at least three days before the session. This lighter diet helps prepare the body and make us more receptive for intuitive insights.

Last but not least, make sure to get enough sleep the night before and avoid any excess stress.

Reflection

Included in our Private Psilocybin Retreat is at least one reflective contact moment post-journey with our facilitator, for reflection, consulting or just a warm conversation. Through offering our support, our intention is to learn and contextualize the insights gathered in the psilocybin experience.

Schedule

A Private Psilocybin Retreat includes a preparation video call to learn more about your motivation, intention and to establish a general feel of one another. The session will take place at an accommodation of your choosing, this could be in your own home or perhaps an Airbnb/hotel. Together we’ll choose the ideal time and date for the session.

Your psychedelic journey will be assisted for approximately 4-6 hours by our experienced facilitator Gregory. On the day of the session you and Greg will get acquainted and discuss practicalities. Depending on your preference you can choose to eat the truffles either raw or a truffle tea can be prepared. Before ingestion we’ll go into a guided breathing exercise, to induce more of a centered and calm state.

For a more introspective experience, we encourage the use of a meditation mask and headphones to accentuate this effect. However, we like to give our participants the freedom to express themselves in whatever way they like, so if they feel the need to move, sit or stand, they’re encouraged to do so.

The facilitator is present to hold space, engage in dialogue or hold your hand if you wish so. Gregory has an intuitive way of facilitating the psilocybin journeys, leaving room for spontaneity and creativity. The intimacy of the setting encourages the journeyer to surrender and give in to the experience.

Towards the end of the session, when the psychedelic effects steadily leave your system, you’ll be able to eat something light. After the trip we recommend resting. We ask you not to plan anything afterwards but just to be with yourself or have a supportive friend or partner with you.

After your Psilocybin Session we’ll have at least one reflective contact moment post journey.

Accommodation

Gregory is based in Amsterdam, but is willing to come to your accommodation in The Netherlands, whether this is your own home, an Airbnb or hotel room. The advantage with having the Private Psilocybin Retreat at your accommodation is that you’ll not have to move once the journey has come to an end. After a 4-6 hour experience you'll most likely still feel quite sensitive and a walk or drive isn’t recommended.

Humbling Experience with a Great Facilitator!!
Having researched psilocybin therapy for some years l decided to embark on my first journey. This meant deciding on the right setting and the right facilitator to assist me with my journey, which will always stay with me for the rest of my life.
From our first contact l found Gregory a very professional, humble and compassionate person, who l could speak openly to about my intentions around me embarking upon my journey.
He understood my trauma and his guidance felt empathetic throughout the journey and truly caring.
I much preferred a 1-2-1 session as l felt it was very personal. Gregory explained everything clearly through emails and on a video call before our session.
On the day of my therapy Gregory arrived promptly, we spoke and l felt very comfortable and ready. He explained dosage and tolerance and we agreed what l would have. We proceeded with breathing exercises and l felt very relaxed to start my journey. Gregory was great at calming my slightly nervous anxiety with his humble manner.
It was good to speak to him about the things that came up for me during my journey and at the end of the session as it was extremely emotional.
Also touching base a few weeks later also helped to put things more into perspective of the journey, thank you Gregory!!!

Amazing experience
Gregory has all the best qualities of the perfect guide. My journey definitely wouldn't have been so beneficial if it wasn't for him.

A part from the usual qualities you'd expect from a guide (trustworthy, puts you at ease, listens very well etc.), the one that particularly stood out to me is Gregory's level of care for making sure he doesn't "color" or influence your journey. Gregory makes sure to say just what is needed to help you let go, look within and reap the benefits.

I know for sure that I'll be doing more sessions with him in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide :)

A safe and incredible experience.
This was my very first experience with any psychedelic substances, and Greg's facilitation of the process was an essential part of me feeling safe and trusting during the session. We did a video chat in advance and he explained the process throughout, and has also followed up with me after the process. He's a beautiful human being with good intentions. The session itself was humbling and beyond words, and has resulted (only a week in) in some definite shifts in my way of being so far, which I hope to cultivate and continue through some spiritual practice, more research and being in nature. If in the future I decide to continue my exploration of Psilocybin, I will definitely get back in touch with Greg. All the best to anyone who reads this.

Recommended for anyone seeking private sessions.
I spent quite a bit of time seeking the right guide as it was my first psilocybin experience. From our first video call I had an intuition he is the right guide for my experience. He explained what to expect clearly over 2 calls to prepare for the experience. I did two sessions under Greg's guidance. His method is non interventionist, allowing room for self discovery during the session. His presence and helpfulness made the set and setting very comfortable. Anyone pursing a private session I can highly recommend Greg.
