Details of this retreat
We are a diverse team of mental health professionals deeply invested in exploring the potential advantages of psilocybin for psychological healing and discovering a deeper sense of meaning. Our facilitator team includes psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors, counsellors and various other complementary healthcare professionals. Although during your psychedelic experience, we will not be acting as your therapist (only as your facilitator) we bring a wealth of professional and personal education and knowledge to help you feel supported during your experience.
Our six-day retreat near Amsterdam offers a sanctuary for personal growth, healing, and self-exploration.
During your retreat, you will have the opportunity to participate in two psychedelic ceremonies guided by experienced facilitators. This retreat provides a sacred space for deep introspection and connection with the mystical realms of consciousness. Supported by our skilled team, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering profound insights and experiencing transformative breakthroughs.
In addition to the powerful psychedelic ceremonies, our retreat in the Netherlands offers a variety of meditation and bodywork workshops to help relax and prepare you for ceremony days. We also offer a facilitated breathwork session which offers a powerful experience for emotional release by utilising conscious cyclical breathing techniques to access deeper levels of awareness and promote healing on physical, emotional, and energetic levels. These transformative modalities work in seamless combination to facilitate deep healing, expanded awareness, and profound insights.
Throughout the retreat, you will be immersed in a supportive and nurturing environment, surrounded by the beauty of nature and a community of fellow seekers. Our experienced facilitators will guide you through each step of the journey, ensuring your safety, and comfort.
Upon arrival, you will be grouped into small pods of four, each led by a dedicated facilitator who will be your guide and support throughout your retreat. Between the psychedelic ceremonies, breathwork, and other meditation and bodywork sessions, you will have regular pod meetings with your facilitator. During these meetings, you will have the opportunity to check-in, share your thoughts, intentions, and any concerns that may arise.
Before embarking on your journey, you will also have a one-to-one discussion with your facilitator to explore your intentions and what you hope to gain from the experience. They will hold your intentions in mind throughout the retreat, reminding you of your purpose and offering gentle guidance if and when needed. With their unwavering support at hand, you will be encouraged to face and embrace whatever emerges during your psychedelic experience, fostering a sense of deep surrender. Your facilitator will serve as a compassionate ally, empowering you to trust the process, let go of control, and fully immerse yourself in the transformative potential of your journey. They will be there every step of the way, providing guidance, reassurance, and holding space for you.
As the retreat unfolds, you will have ample opportunities for integration and reflection, allowing the insights gained during the ceremonies to permeate your being and shape your path of personal transformation. Through group discussions, guided meditations, and integration circles, you will have the space to process your experiences, receive support, and harness the potential for lasting change.
Our Netherlands location is in the quiet countryside, where you will be surrounded by nature and serenity. The tranquil surroundings provide an ideal backdrop for deep introspection, relaxation, and connection with the natural world. Take leisurely walks amidst picturesque landscapes, breathe in the fresh air, and find solace in the beauty of your surroundings. Our venue is a beautifully converted church which is now a retreat centre. We have a private chef as part of the NW team who will be arranging your meals for breakfast lunch and dinner for all six days and we can assure you it is always delicious!
