About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

EVOSHIFT is far more than just a retreat; it’s a transformative, three-month hybrid journey designed to nurture deep personal development and growth. At the heart of this experience is a four-day immersive retreat, meticulously crafted by the EVOLUTE INSTITUTE for those who seek profound self-exploration and spiritual advancement. Yet, the retreat is only one part of a much larger process. Our program also includes a three-week preparation phase and a two-month aftercare period, featuring multiple virtual group integration sessions to ensure lasting impact.

We pride ourselves on providing a warm, welcoming, and highly professional environment for our participants. What sets us apart is our unparalleled facilitator-to-participant ratio of 1:2, allowing us to offer personalized attention and care. Our team includes a dedicated on-site medical doctor, Charlotte, along with experienced and compassionate facilitators and guides—Patrick, Naomi, Dmitrij, and Christopher—who are there to support you every step of the way. The initial medical and psychological screening is conducted by Sarah, an M.D. with specialized expertise in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, ensuring that each participant’s journey begins with a solid foundation.

We place great importance on group curation, carefully selecting participants to create a harmonious group dynamic where trust and connection flourish. Unlike other providers, we offer a comprehensive curriculum designed to guide you through preparation, the retreat itself, and the integration phase. The structure of this journey is pivotal to its success, and our approach is both undogmatic and centered around your personal intentions and process. We don’t claim to be shamans; rather, we see ourselves as professionals deeply rooted in Western ontology and epistemology, yet enriched by the wisdom of Taoism, Buddhism, and Eastern contemplative practices. We approach our work with humility, viewing ourselves not as healers but as dedicated professionals in service of your journey towards wholeness, integration, and growth.

Participants often tell us that the EVOSHIFT experience is unparalleled in its professionalism, personalization, and the intimate support they receive throughout the three-month journey. The strength of our group container is crucial; it’s our top priority to create a safe, supportive environment where you can truly let go and dive deep into your inner work. A well-established container is essential, as your nervous system intuitively senses whether the space is secure enough to allow for deep exploration. This is often a challenge in larger group retreats or those with insufficient facilitation, where the depth of the experience can be compromised. We refuse to cut corners when it comes to the quality of our programs, offering a high level of care, safety, and preparation to ensure the most profound outcomes.

If your intention is to delve deeply into your inner world, it’s vital to prioritize quality, safety, and comprehensive preparation. The impact of the retreat is not solely about the legal psilocybin-containing truffles; it’s the surrounding framework—the preparation, the ceremony, and the integration—that creates lasting, meaningful transformation. Over many cohorts, we have refined our program to optimize the flow and maximize the depth of self-exploration and inner work. We find that a single high-dose psilocybin ceremony on Day 2, following breathwork on Day 1, combined with two days of on-site integration (Days 3 and 4), and two months of continued integration support, offers the most effective structure for profound, lasting change.

Join us for EvoSHIFT - We are in humble service of your journey towards wholeness, integration and growth.
