About this Retreat
Sebastiaan has been questioning common narratives since childhood, a curiosity that led him into Zen Buddhism, Self-realization, and the exploration of the mind–body connection.
Sebastiaan worked at the Suicide Crisis Line as a volunteer and certified as a Rebalancing® bodywork therapist in the Netherlands,. He has spent over a decade helping people heal trauma and psychosomatic imbalances.
His path has been shaped both by Asian spiritual traditions, Western therapeutic modalities and by learning from Latin American shamans, integrating plant and fungi medicine into his life for more than 20 years.
For the past eight years, Sebastiaan has guided individuals through psilocybin journeys, combining bodywork, therapeutic insight, and spiritual practice with compassion and dedication.
People know him as:
- Down to Earth
- Analytical
- High Sensitivity
- Open Minded
- Empathic
- Exploratory
Life Quote, referring to the need to find out who or what you are, before starting to fix who you are taught you are:
"Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and All else will be added on to You”
Details of this retreat
THIS RETREAT MAY BE FOR YOU IF
You feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected, and want to explore what is holding you back, free yourself from old struggles, and come home to a more authentic way of living.
You are ready to give yourself more time and space for deeper exploration, meaningful change, and a clearer sense of where you want to go next.
COMING HOME TO YOURSELF
Five days give us the time to go deeper, allowing the process to unfold naturally rather than trying to fit everything into a few days.
We begin with your intentions, the questions you are carrying, and the changes you would like to explore. From there, we shape the retreat around you, combining guided Self Inquiry, Parts Work, meditation, coaching, Rebalancing therapeutic bodywork, time in nature, and two carefully supported psilocybin journeys.
The additional time allows us to explore different layers of your experience, pause when needed, and return to important themes with greater depth and perspective.
A DEEP, PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Each psilocybin journey is individually prepared and carefully supported by Sebastiaan. Anais is present throughout the retreat as well, creating a warm and nurturing environment and preparing fresh, nourishing meals.
Between the deeper experiences, there is time to rest, reflect, talk, enjoy nature, receive bodywork, or simply be. The pace remains responsive to you and what you need.
After each journey, we take time to explore what emerged and how it connects with your life. The second journey can build on what you discovered earlier in the retreat, allowing new questions and insights to emerge.
You leave with a personalized Progress and Integration Report and follow up online integration support, giving you a practical way to carry your insights into everyday life.
THE WITNESS, THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE, THE GUIDE
Our work is grounded in three principles.
The Witness helps you see your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with greater awareness and freedom.
The Human Experience invites you to fully experience what is here, making space for feelings, emotions, vulnerability, joy, and connection.
The Guide helps you listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom and find the direction that feels right for you.
Together, they support a deeper connection with yourself and the freedom to live more authentically.
A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN
Your retreat takes place in a private, comfortable natural setting in Costa Rica, surrounded by nature, fresh air, quiet, and space to yourself.
Anais takes care of the nourishing food and the warmth of the environment. Sebastiaan guides the personal work and both psilocybin journeys. Both of us are present throughout your retreat, so you are personally supported from arrival through integration.
