About this Retreat
I am a psychologist with an MSc in Neuropsychology and, over the last decade, have immersed myself in the exploration of psychedelics and expanded states of consciousness. Guided by the awareness of life's interdependence, I approach both life and work with the understanding that we are nuanced beings with interconnected dimensions.
As the co-founder of Ōsmos Studio in Berlin, I have been involved in hosting group workshops alongside private sessions. Recently, I relocated to the Spanish mountains to reconnect with my roots and further deepen my relationship with the natural world.
A significant aspect of my work involves creating a safer space for people from the LGBTQI+ community and supporting them in their processes.
With my work, I try to bridge 20 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and existential psychotherapist with indigenous mind navigating methods and my own personal exploration of consciousness.
I am particularly dedicated to people undergoing spiritual crises, navigating the liminality of realities and experiencing spontaneous expanded states of consciousness such as kundalini awakening or psychosis.
Using different therapeutic methods, I aim to guide individuals in rediscovering their connection with self-love, body wisdom,
the Earth, and the transformative power of community. I believe in the restorative and corrective potential of being in a group. This is why working as a facilitator brings me so much joy.
As a human and psychologist, I am deeply curious about the ways we can learn and heal within communities and through our connections with nature. In my therapeutic approach, I integrate various understandings, primarily drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems.
I am inspired by diverse movement and artistic practices, including dance, creating visual art, exploring dreams, and swimming in cold water.
I am also a devoted mother and passionate about parenting.

What to expect
Our retreats have been carefully crafted to offer an integrative approach to personal exploration. While the psilocybin session plays an important role in our program, it is just one part of the transformative journey we embark on together. Our approach encompasses a set of practices and support mechanisms to facilitate a well-rounded and meaningful experience.
Before the retreat we will meet online to get to know each other and introduce suggested preparation practices that foster introspection and openness to the experience.
During the retreat we will explore various forms of guided movement, breathwork, presence, and connecting practices. These practices are integrated to support the overall process; laying the foundation for the psilocybin session and supporting the integration of what might have come up during the retreat.
After the retreat we will meet online as a group, to continue grounding the insights gained during our time together.
Who is this for
People interested in exploring their inner landscapes with the assistance of psychedelics in a legal and secure group setting. The retreat will be facilitated in a group of a maximum of 14 people. Small group settings can create a powerful and intimate container for profound experiences. Our goal is to forge a secure space that embraces individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities. We ask participants and team members to commit to creating a non-judgemental and respectful atmosphere.
