About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

We invite you into a deeply nourishing journey of personal transformation — a space to reconnect with yourself, restore inner balance, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

This retreat is designed to support harmony between your emotional, mental, physical, and inner world. Through gentle inner exploration, reflective practices, and conscious awareness work, you’ll be guided into a deeper relationship with yourself — cultivating clarity, resilience, presence, and inner strength.

Our program offers a carefully held space for exploring the deeper layers of consciousness and self-awareness through ceremonial experiences, reflective processes, and integration practices. Participants are supported in releasing inner blocks, reconnecting with their inner wisdom, and opening to new perspectives, insight, and growth.

WHAT THIS INNER WORK CAN SUPPORT

Deeper self-connection
You begin to experience a more intimate relationship with yourself — your emotions, your inner world, your body, and your inner truth. This work supports a deeper sense of presence within your own being, helping you feel more at home in yourself.

Personal healing from within
Healing is not something given by a teacher, guide, or external authority. It arises from your own inner intelligence and higher self. This journey supports your natural capacity for self-healing by creating the conditions for awareness, safety, and inner listening. The process is guided, but the healing comes from within you.

Awareness and clarity
Old patterns, stories, and conditioned beliefs begin to loosen, making space for new perspectives, understanding, and insight. You start to see yourself and your life with greater honesty and clarity.

Emotional balance
You learn to meet your inner world with more gentleness, patience, and compassion. Emotions become something you can hold, understand, and integrate, rather than avoid or suppress.

Creativity and inspiration
Your inner world opens, allowing fresh ideas, new visions, and renewed motivation to arise naturally. Creativity becomes a form of expression, not pressure.

Inner strength and self-trust
You reconnect with your own inner guidance, resilience, and natural wisdom. Trust begins to shift from external sources toward your own inner knowing and intuition.

Connection with others
Empathy, understanding, and presence deepen, supporting more conscious, honest, and loving relationships. As self-connection grows, connection with others becomes more authentic and grounded.

Purpose and direction
Clarity grows around what truly matters to you, what feels meaningful, and how you want to live. Direction arises from alignment rather than obligation.

Freedom from limiting patterns
Old habits, emotional responses, and unconscious patterns begin to soften, creating space for healthier, more conscious ways of being. Change happens gently, through awareness rather than force.

This work is not about following a path given by someone else.
It is about remembering your own inner authority, reconnecting with your higher self, and allowing your natural intelligence to guide your healing, growth, and evolution.

DAY 1: ARRIVAL AND INTRODUCTION

Your journey begins the moment you arrive at our serene retreat space, surrounded by nature’s beauty. As you step onto the land, you will be welcomed with warmth and kindness by our experienced facilitators, who are here to support you throughout your transformation.
After your arrival, you’ll have time to settle into your accommodation, explore the peaceful surroundings, and gently transition from daily life into the retreat experience. Whether you choose to relax, take a quiet walk, or connect with fellow participants, this time is meant to help you feel grounded and at ease. We will come together for a nourishing dinner, where you can meet all group members. After dinner, your guides will gently begin preparing you for the journey ahead.

DAY 2: PLANT MEDICINE CEREMONY- A JOURNEY INWARD

The retreat begins with a guided meditation before the opening circle, allowing you to quiet the mind, connect with your intentions, and prepare for the journey ahead. During the opening circle, we set a safe and supportive space where participants can share their feelings and receive guidance from experienced facilitators.

The ceremony is a deeply introspective experience. Taken in a comfortable setting, the journey unfolds over 4-6 hours, guided by carefully curated music designed to enhance emotions, visuals, and self-reflection. The medicine opens the subconscious, allowing suppressed emotions and insights to emerge with clarity and compassion. This session can bring profound realizations, emotional breakthroughs, and a deep sense of connection to oneself, others, and the Universe.

The evening is dedicated to gentle relaxation, allowing your body and mind to unwind. You may choose to meditate, journal, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A nourishing vegetarian dinner will be served, prepared with fresh local ingredients to support your well-being. If you feel the call for it, you can connect with other fellow travelers and share laughter and exchange thoughts.

DAY 3: A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

The following day, after a nourishing breakfast and reflection time, the second ceremony begins. While plant medicine works by opening the subconscious, this medicine provides emotional safety, making it easier to process difficult emotions without fear or resistance. It enhances self-love, connection, and empathy, allowing for deep emotional healing.
The session takes place in a peaceful setting with carefully selected music that supports the unfolding experience. The session lasts around 5-8 hours, during which participants feel a deep sense of warmth, trust, and emotional openness. Many experience relief from past traumas, newfound clarity, and a heart-opening sense of love and connection.

DAY 4: INTEGRATION & CLOSING CIRCLE

After a long rest, you can have a delicious breakfast and may be after a nice swim in the lake, we will start our integration session. In this safe and supportive space, you’re welcome to openly share your experiences and receive gentle guidance on how to integrate your healing journey into everyday life.

Transformative experience
My experience was undeniably mystical. The concept of 'I' or my ego dissolved, and I transcended into pure light energy, akin to a divine source. I learned that this physical body holds little significance and Time is a non-existent construct in the Universe. I tapped into my boundless potential as both a luminous and human being. It stands as the most profoundly transformative experience of my life. I am immensely grateful to the team.

Life-changing journey
The ceremony was a powerful and sacred experience. Under the influence of plant medicine, I ventured deep into the recesses of my mind, confronting my fears, unraveling past traumas, and embracing the beauty of my existence. It was as if the Universe had unveiled its secrets to me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of interconnectedness with all living beings. It was a truly transformational journey!

Gratitude
I used to harbor significant apprehension about psilocybin therapy. Looking back, I find it absurd that I waited so long. It's, without a doubt, one of the most valuable gifts you can bestow upon yourself. Through this journey, I've unearthed profound insights, discovered solutions, and evolved into the finest version of myself. I've partaken in four sessions with the team, which has undeniably transformed my life. I am overflowing with gratitude. - Isabella

Peace and serenity
Whenever I am around her I feel like everything is alright.
Her aura and presence is calming me.

She feels me and what I need during my trip. This can't be learned in some days or in a short course

6th sense and empathy with the deep wish for others to be heathy and well is the result of a life lived well.

Iili: you are my favorite cat in the whole world.:))

Right words at the right moments
He choses his words wisely and guided my attention back to loving myself, loving what is.

Healing could happen when my silence and his words met in the safe space they created.

I trust him guiding me and that trust had to be earned. I don't give it to many people

Thank you🙏
