About this Retreat
Your Guides
Costanza Di Prisco is a Trauma-informed Psychedelic Practitioner, Breathwork Coach, Musician, and Somatic Therapist, who combines Shamanic practices learned in the Amazon with western Therapeutic practices to assist individuals in deep transformation.
She began working with psychedelics more than 12 years ago, initially as a participant, later as an assistant, then began training with shamans and healers, and eventually studied to become a Psychedelic Practitioner. Her last few years have been devoted to psilocybin, though she has worked with a variety of plant medicines. She is also a breathwork coach, working with the body’s knowledge to achieve understanding and promote healing. She has trained in Somatic therapy and Bioneuroemotion, a field that blends biology, neuroscience, epigenetics, NLP, and psychology. She received training in India to be able to instruct in meditation, yoga, and pranayama. She has finished a master plant dieta with Noya Rao and follows the tradition of the Shipibo from Peru in terms of shamanic techniques.
Developing the Anima Integrative Breathwork™ has crystallized her years of learning from many teachers and mentors, into a method that breaks old patterns and proves lasting positive effects.
Also focused on education, she's the Director of the Synthesis Institute's Psychedelic Immersion Retreats and Anima Integrative Breathwork & Voice Practitioner Training.
Her facilitation style combines ancient wisdom methods with cognitive therapeutic techniques from the West to produce powerful transformational experiences. When singing in ceremony, Costanza places emphasis on the healing potential of music. Her goal is to serve as a bridge for people seeking to start or continue their own journeys of self-discovery; creating safe spaces so others can engage in their psychedelic healing experiences feeling supported and empowered so their own inner wisdom can emerge.
Details of this retreat
THE EXPERIENCE:
Embark on a transformative journey with the powerful compound and learn how to navigate it for maximum benefits. This experience takes place in a safe and nurturing setting, allowing for personal growth and spiritual awakening. It includes preparation and integration sessions, as well as the therapeutic and psychedelic journey itself.
During the session, you will be supported by a Trauma-Informed Facilitator who provide physical contact, sound healing, singing, and various therapeutic techniques. The session typically lasts six to eight hours, aligning with the duration of the substance's effects. Expect to experience changes in perception, space-time, and thoughts during this immersive experience.
By engaging in this experience, you can cultivate self-awareness and support positive changes in your life and relationships. It is especially suited for individuals seeking to work on their shadow, understand patterns and behaviors, connect with their true selves, enhance their creativity, align themselves, heal past wounds, tap into their heart's wisdom, release blocked energy, reconnect with buried aspects of themselves, and make lasting positive changes.
PSILOCYBIN:
Psilocybin is the main psychoactive component found in Magic Mushrooms. Extensive research over the past 20 years has demonstrated its potential for treating mental and behavioral health disorders. Studies have shown its effectiveness in alleviating treatment-resistant depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Psilocybin therapy, when combined with talk therapy, has also been found to significantly improve symptoms of depression, with some participants experiencing benefits for up to one year after treatment. Positive results have also been observed in smoking cessation and anorexia nervosa studies.
Psilocybin can induce spiritual experiences that lead to positive changes in attitude, mood, and behavior. It has been associated with an increase in openness, which includes qualities like sensitivity, imagination, and an appreciation for different perspectives. This increase in openness may be linked to psilocybin's ability to enhance neuroplasticity, the brain's capacity to form new connections.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Working with a Trauma-Informed Facilitator provides a stable and safe presence throughout the experience. These facilitators will guide you through your subconscious mind, using your intention as a guiding force. They will ask questions at the appropriate moments to assist you in gaining clarity and fulfillment.
The aim is to empower and connect you with your inner wisdom, allowing you to let go of what no longer serves you. You will be guided to a space where you can discover your own truths, even if you currently find it challenging to believe in your own wisdom and clarity. The facilitators have the experience and confidence to guide you on this journey.
At times, you may encounter difficult moments or uncomfortable emotions. The facilitators will support you in embracing these experiences and surrendering to the process. They will work with any resistance or blocks that arise, transforming potential distress into awareness. Psychedelics have the potential to bring forth traumatic memories or buried emotions, and revisiting them in a supportive context can lead to healing and liberation. There is no such thing as a "bad trip," but rather obstacles and challenges that, with the right guidance, can become transformative moments.

Directions
This will be arranged after the booking.
Accommodation
You will arrange your own accommodation in Amsterdam. This ensures a smooth transition after the session as you won't need to move immediately after. The facilitator will then come to your chosen rental with the medicine and any tools that will support your journey. This is especially beneficial as you may feel more open and sensitive to external stimuli for the remainder of the day, which could make venturing outside overwhelming. By staying in the rented space, you can experience a sense of safety as you gradually return to reality. If you require assistance in selecting a rental, a booklet of options will be sent to you via email after registration. Alternatively, if you prefer to attend the session at the retreat center where sessions can be held in Amsterdam, please contact via email to make a reservation. Please note that lodging is not possible at the retreat location and is subject to availability.
