Details of this retreat

5-Day Retreat: 2 Psilocybin Ceremonies
With over 1,000 participants on our retreats over the past 6 years, Inwardbound is one of the world leaders in delivering psilocybin retreats.

In January, February and March 2024 we have a limited number of small group retreats available in Costa Rica with our Inwardbound psychedelic facilitation team. The Inwardbound team have spoken at psychedelic therapy conferences about their pioneering work and are world leaders in the field of psychedelic therapy.

Our Inwardbound Costa Rica programme is supervised by trained psychotherapists and has a pre-screening and integration process supported by our team of facilitators.

Our intimate group retreats are for 4-5 individuals or if you have a group of family/friends of up to 4-8 participants, you can book the venue privately. The retreats are 5 days, 2 ceremonies including the 2 days of travel.

Please do not book flights or make travel arrangements before your participation on the retreat is confirmed after your screening call with one of our psychotherapists.

At InwardBound, our interdisciplinary team of psychotherapists, PhD scientists and holistic therapists believe in weaving together the threads of science and spirituality, knowing that the two ways are one. We work in the broad tradition of Dr Stan Grof - creating a safe container for people to access the wisdom of their own inner healer.

Individual: 3,999 euro per person.
Couple: 3,600 euro (price per person sharing a room)

A Deep Dive to a Rewarding Experience
My Inward Bound experience was, at times, surprising and even challenging but in all ways illuminating and meaningful. The team of our four facilitators led this amazing process with deep knowledge, experience, creativity, and empathy. In this supportive atmosphere, I connected with myself and the other members of our group in the best possible ways. Beyond that, the comfortable accommodations, beautiful setting, and delicious, wholesome food made the perfect setting for a journey of self-discovery.

The Best
Inward Bound is the real deal. Rob, Renee, Darragh and Cristina created a space in time where a diverse group of people with varying intentions and needs opened, shared, sang, danced, laughed, loved and healed together. Delicious food, stunning setting and beautiful people. Go see for yourself. The best retreat I've been on.

A profound, life changing experience in a safe, supportive and loving environment
It was my very first experience both with Inwardbound and with psilocybin. I cannot imagine how could it be better or more transforming than it was. In all aspect – it was perfect!
The venue was great, providing all one needs for a retreat like this: beautiful nature, comfortable room, spacious common spaces, delicious healthy food, etc.
I am forever grateful to the amazing Inwardbound team (Rob, Helena and Kalyani) for creating this safe, loving and supportive ceremonial space that allowed me to have this magical, life changing experience.
What a profound journey!

best possible set and setting
I participated in a 5-day psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands. I had a profound experience under the influence of the mushrooms, but equally important was the presence, advice, support and all the activities offered by the therapists/facilitators. They are amazing people, experienced and professional, passionate about what they do and dedicated to ensuring the best, safest and most inspiring setting. Thanks to them, I believe, I can process and integrate the psilocybin experience in a way most beneficial for my healing and growth. They helped me understand how important it is to work with the body, to take a more holistic approach to healing and lifestyle, and they showed me ways to do it. I am immensely grateful not only for the safety they provided, but also for the joy, music, movement and companionship. I can recommend Inwardbound to anyone wanting to experience psilocybin. Don't do it alone, do it with Inwardbound!

Amazing experience
A fantastic and life changing and affirming experience expertly curated by a group of beautiful and caring human beings. Highly recommended. Everyone in our group got something from the experience albeit different in almost every case, and it was often said that they/ we got what was needed, but not always what was wanted. There was power in the group connections and shared consciousness. Very healing.
