About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

*Please contact us before booking*


At Acsauhaya, we organize one-of-kind transformational psychedelic Psilocybin (truffle) retreats. We offer an exceptional experience where people can reconnect with themselves and the world around them in a new and profound way.

Our German, Dutch and English speaking team has an extensive and extraordinary track record with over 20 years of combined experience working with plant medicine - entheogenic psychedelics - and the indigenous people who are culturally rooted in the uses of these psychedelic plants and fungi.

Having safely guided tens of thousands of participants from all over the world we have witnessed profound metamorphoses: healing, transformation, personal development, and shadow work.

We feel honoured to create a loving atmosphere and to support you in your profound inner journey!

5-day Psilocybin Retreat + Preparation & Integration Programme in the Netherlands.

We invite you to embark on a transformative retreat programme. Take full advantage of your psychedelic experience, combining intimate psilocybin journeys (max. 10 people) with the power of community and integration support.

Integration is everything and It’s where the real work of stepping into your full potential really begins. And with this programme, you can avoid the common hindrances as you won’t have to do this often-challenging work alone.

Research shows that over 53% of people who attend a ceremony will have some emotional and mental challenges in integrating the experience afterwards. And that’s not considering the loss of potential that happens without proper support.

This programme was designed by experts to offer preparation, guidance, and support beyond the retreat and into the integration phase. It will equip you with the resources you need to avoid common challenges that can cloud the process of bridging a psychedelic experience to the future you want to create for yourself.


A Programme Of 3 Phases

Phase 1 – Preparation (online)
Deepen your experience with optimal preparation, heightened awareness, and emotional balance. Gain access to guiding tools and resources broken down into easily digestible chunks with Nectara’s preparation course. It will encompass an exploration of your intention going into the psilocybin (truffle) experience as well as details on how to optimise set and setting.

Phase 2 – Retreat (in our retreat centre)
Expert guidance provides the optimal environment to maximise the benefits of your psilocybin experience. With two psychedelic experiences, group sharing circles, and complementary wellness modules, you will be immersed within a supportive space. Our expert facilitators cultivate trust and the ability for you to surrender to the experience in a safe environment.

Phase 3 – Integration (online)
As after a psychedelic experience many people have more questions than before integration is an integral part of the healing process. Avoid losing precious integration opportunities with knowledgeable support that will equip you to foster lasting and meaningful change.

You will be in an intimate container where you can express yourself without judgement in a structured but flexible space. During this phase you will be empowered to continue your journey of integration and medicine work with the relevant skills and tools needed with ongoing support, including lifelong access to our library of resources.


Before you can attend one of our Psilocybin retreats, it is important that we review information about known medical conditions and/or the usage of any drugs or medication (if applicable), at the time of booking. We evaluate the possibility of attendance individually. Therefore, we ask you to fill out a questionnaire accurately. Of course we will maintain the confidentiality of this information.

Please note that we cannot confirm your booking before your medical questionnaire has been reviewed. Please do not make travel arrangements (book flights) before we have confirmed your booking. Your safety and the best experience is our highest priority.

Winderful, skilled, soulful staff
I am a psychotherapist and picky about how space is held.

What a wise, hospitable, loving team. We arrived and I was greeted with care. The 4 day retreat was explained so you felt safely held to really unfold into a deep process.

I was lucky to be joined by 9 other retreat participants who also were commited to a deep unfolding process.

I highly recommend. And I will be back next year.

What an amazingly transformative experience
I had been wanting to take part in a Psilocybin ceremony for a while so chose my retreat carefully and from the reviews that I read and what I saw written online about Acsauhaya I was confident that they were a credible organisation. I wasn't disappointed, they treated the whole process from booking to the retreat itself with utmost professionalism. The ceremony was an amazing experience which I really enjoyed and it left me with sense of connectedness with myself and everything around me. I would highly recommend Acsauhaya to anyone who is considering a psilocybin experince - they will will look after you with the utmost care and you will be sure to have a transformative experience. Namaste x

Exceptional Psilocybin Guide: Shurandy
Shurandy stands out as an exceptional guide in the realm of psychedelic ceremonies. His kindness and extensive knowledge create a welcoming and safe atmosphere for exploration and growth. What truly sets Shurandy apart is his unwavering support and presence. Throughout the ceremony, he ensures that you feel seen and supported, providing reassurance and guidance exactly when you need it the most. His ability to foster a space of trust and openness makes the journey not only transformative but also deeply healing.
I can't recommend Shurandy highly enough for anyone looking to explore psilocybin with a guide who genuinely cares about the group's well-being and spiritual journey.

Unforgettable Retreat Experience at Acsauhaya
I had an excellent experience at the Acsauhaya retreat center. The guides are top-notch—very knowledgeable and supportive. The retreat's location is beautiful, surrounded by peaceful nature, which adds a lot to the overall experience.

The ceremonies took place in a yurt, which provided a unique and memorable setting that I won't forget. The house we stayed in was very comfortable and well-equipped. The live music was fantastic, and it helped enhance the atmosphere and the overall experience. The food was also great, offering delicious and nourishing meals that complemented the retreat's holistic approach, especially the mushroom soup, which was just... wholesome.

I definitely recommend Acsauhaya to anyone looking for a well-organized, enriching retreat experience. The combination of great guides, beautiful surroundings, unique ceremony settings, amazing live music, delicious food, and comfortable accommodations makes it a standout choice.
