Coen de Koning

Coen shares a private practice together with his partner, Patrycja Radecka in Holland. Together they offer therapeutic support for people who are interested in legal psilocybin experiences. Though formally educated as a physics engineer and a designer, he was trained and worked at an Ayahuasca retreat centre in the Netherlands for a number of years before teaming up with Patrycja and starting their work together. Based on Patrycja’s MAPS training, the support they offer in their practice is heavily influenced by both Hakomi mindfulness based somatic therapy and IFS or Internal Family Systems therapy. Over the past seven years, Coen has guided hundreds of people in their diverse psychedelic experiences, both in groups with Ayahuasca and individually with psilocybin truffles and.. there is nothing he would like to do more for the rest of his life.

Jamie Pike

I love to work with our natures. Inner and outer. I am a mentor and a guide. My early career and training was as an HPC registered movement and drama therapist, working with diverse mental health needs. At some point in my late twenties, I was struck by Jiddu Krishnamurti’s saying that “it is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society”. Since then, I have been exploring how to support healthy living (and dying) systems in family, community and business contexts. I like to see people not as individuals, but as interconnected relationships woven into a living field of possibilities. Through nature connection, coaching, therapeutic models and movement based approaches I support people to awaken to new patterns of living, working and being. I would love to hear from you if you would like support preparing for or integrating psychedelic experience in a way that brings healthy shifts to the systems you inhabit.

Shashank Mishra

Shashank lives and works in Liverpool. He is currently completing his training in person-centred counselling. Shashank obtained BA (hons.) in creative writing and media and masters in creative writing and film history from Bangor University, Wales. Shashank has worked as a Chef in different kitchens around UK and Europe. He now uses his skills as a chef to cook with clients in a drug and alcohol rehab as a way of talking about issues in a different, non-formal setting and teaching an important life skill as well. He also uses his creative writing background to promote “free-writing” techniques as a way of accessing ideas and memories from the unconscious mind. Shashank has long been interested in the potential of psychedelics as an effective way to tackle drug addiction and alcoholism, childhood trauma and promote spirituality.

Details of this retreat

At the heart of our practice lies a profound belief: psychedelics are not just tools for transient experiences but gateways that offer insights into the very fabric of our reality, our minds, and the intricacies of any challenges one might face.

The transpersonal or mystical facets of these journeys are not only fascinating experiences but are also directly tied to successful therapeutic outcomes.

Embarking on a psychedelic journey is akin to setting sail on vast, uncharted waters.

But it’s in the aftermath, when we anchor those experiences to the shores of our everyday life, that we unlock their transformative potential.

That’s where our expertise in psychedelic integration therapy shines.

Preparation Therapy: Laying the Groundwork
Mindset: Before embarking on the psychedelic journey, it’s crucial to establish a clear and open mindset. Delve into understanding the root of existing mental health challenges, be it depression, anxiety, or existential concerns.
Setting Intentions: A pivotal part of the preparatory phase involves discerning the purpose behind seeking a psychedelic experience.
Choosing the Right Guide: As you prepare, it’s imperative to select a psychedelic experience provider judiciously. Opt for professionals who, ideally, have therapeutic backgrounds and are adept not just in guiding psychedelic sessions, but also in psychological interventions.

Post-Journey Reflection: Extracting & Implementing Insights
Revisiting Initial Intentions: Upon your return, the work continues as you re-engage with the intentions set during the preparation phase. Reflecting on them post-experience can offer profound clarity.

Unpacking the Experience: The ineffable nature of psychedelic experiences can be overwhelming. This phase allows you to make sense of the insights, working closely with your therapist.

Incorporation into Daily Life: This is where the true transformation unfolds. It’s not just about understanding the experiences, but effectively applying the knowledge and insights gained to address psychological challenges and enhance overall well-being. Read More

This cannot be described in words!

I went to my first retreat with great fear but also with hope that it would help me solve my problems. There I found an amazing center, very nice, polite, helpful people, full of positive energy. Incredible attention to detail and atmosphere :) But the ceremony itself blew my mind, it's hard to describe it in words, you have to experience it for yourself and it's really worth it.
The effects after returning home were several weeks full of energy, good mood, lots of ideas and several positive changes in my life. I will definitely come back for another retreat. Read More
