About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

There are moments in life when what once defined you no longer feels fully true. From the outside, things may look stable - even successful - yet internally something is shifting. A role is ending, an identity loosening, or a direction no longer feels aligned.

This retreat is designed as a passage through such thresholds.

In a small, carefully selected group of participants, we create a structured and professionally guided environment that bridges psychological depth and strategic clarity, leadership development and inner transformation. Here, transition is approached not as a problem to solve, but as a process to be understood and lived through with awareness.
At the heart of the retreat is a carefully facilitated psychedelic experience. In a safe and intentional setting, expanded states of consciousness can help reveal unconscious patterns, reconnect you with meaning and intrinsic motivation, loosen outdated narratives, and open access to deeper purpose and direction.

Through structured preparation, individual attention, group dialogue, and dedicated integration day, insights are translated into clarity, decisions, and embodied next steps.

The Retreat Experience
Over three immersive days in nature, participants move through a structured transformative process:
Preparation – Personal sessions clarify intentions, ensure readiness, and create psychological safety for deep inner work.
Guided psychedelic experience – Professionally facilitated journey opens access to insight, emotional clarity, creativity, and inner truth.
Integration & coaching – Individual and group coaching translates insight into clarity, decisions, and practical direction for life and work.

Who is the retreat for
people in meaningful life or career transitions
those stuck between what was and what’s next
anyone seeking depth, honesty, and real integration

Safety, legality & professionalism

All processes are conducted ethically, professionally, and with careful attention to psychological and physical safety. Participants go through screening and preparation.

Exceeded all expectations
Magda was an amazing and caring facilitator and her depth of experience was truly world class. My wife and I felt completely comfortable at all times and Magda’s preparation and thoughtfulness was above any expectation we had. In short we will be back and recommend without hesitation.

Great host!
Hero’s Journey is an amazing host who made my first psilocybin retreat in Amsterdam truly special. As a first-time visitor to both Amsterdam and psilocybin therapy, the host checked in on my trip to make sure that I was mentally and physically prepared for the journey. The retreat space was fantastic—beautifully decorated, cozy, and comfortable, creating the perfect environment for my journey. After the session, the hosted prepared for the integration including slight snacks and debrief chat. I would highly recommend Magda to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-supported retreat!

Great first time experience with a great host
.Magda is a wonderful host for my first psilocybin retreat in Amsterdam. She took great care of me, checking on my flights before I arrived and ensuring I felt settled. The space was beautiful and comfortable, perfect for my high-dose journey to work on my shyness. After the session, she provided snacks to help me relax, going above and beyond. I highly recommend Magda to anyone!

An awesome guided Experience
Magda was my guide. She’s gentle with a loving soul and she expertly guided me through what was a fabulous journey of discovery.. The pre retreat information and discussion was excellent and I felt very well prepared. If you want a retreat that helps prepare you for the best result, this is it.
I couldn't recommend Magda as your guide more highly.

Transforming experience
Magda is an amazing intuitive person with a charismatic personality. She is trustworthy and made everything happen with the right set and setting. The place was incredible and her assistance through my journey was invaluable.
Not only i recommend her but i will be scheduling a visit at least once a year!
We had a session and a talk before the trip with her professional guidance and the next day we started the session.
The trip was life changing and it was by far the best out of all the group sessions i have done before. I wish everyone gets the chance to meet Magda and have a session with her.
Thank you for everything !
