3-Day Psilocybin Retreat
With almost 1,000 participants on our retreats over the past 6 years, Inwardbound are one of the world leaders in delivering psilocybin retreats.

Our retreat will be intimate (8-13 guests & 3-4 facilitators), group-oriented and will faithfully contain the healing process. During the retreat, we will have 1 session with psilocybin truffles, complemented by a range of activities with the intention to maximise your experience and effect lasting change in your life.

Here's what our retreat programme has in store for you:

2 Preparation Sessions: Prepare yourself for the transformative journey ahead with guided preparation sessions led by psychotherapist and experienced facilitators. Explore intention setting and self-care practices. You will also have a 1:1 consultation with a psychotherapist to assist you in preparing for the experience ahead.
1 Psilocybin Ceremony: Experience the profound healing potential of psilocybin in a safe and supportive ceremonial setting. Guided by experienced facilitators, you'll embark on a journey of inner exploration, gaining insights, and perspectives that can enhance your personal growth and healing.
2 Integration Sessions: Process and integrate your psilocybin experience with guided integration sessions and 1:1 consultation with our Psychotherapist designed to help you make sense of your insights and integrate them into your daily life. We also run monthly 1 hour long integration sessions for a small fee. You can join any month you feel you would like more advice on integrating.
Yoga & Meditation: Reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit through daily yoga practices. Cultivate inner peace as you move through gentle flows, grounding poses, and mindful meditations fostering a deeper connection with yourself and the present moment.
Breathwork: Tap into the transformative power of your breath with breathwork sessions designed to release tension stored in the body, unlock stagnant energy, and cultivate a sense of balance, relaxation and vitality.
Time in nature and to relax: Enjoy walks in the national park woodlands surrounding the retreat center and unwind in the sauna or around the fire pit in the evenings.

Why InwardBound?

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.
We come from a long tradition of psilocybin use in Ireland. Our Celtic ancestors used the wild mushrooms of Northern Europe (Psilocybe Semilanceata) and worked with the patterns of nature for healing and spiritual growth and we continue that land-based ancestral tradition to create a modern context for psilocybin ceremony and reconnection with nature.
We hold small groups with 3-4 facilitators (a balance of male and female) to a maximum of 13 participants. This low ratio allows us to provide the highest possible standard of care for our participants. Private rooms are available on most retreats.
To make sure this form of healing is open to people from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds, we offer financial assistance. If you feel like you are a candidate, please send a 500 word application to admin@inwardbound.ie

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.
