Details of this retreat
If you are
curious to explore psychedelic substances, and yet nervous to try them on your own,
you would like to ensure that the work that you do with psychedelics has a lasting impact on your life,
you are stuck in old patterns and want to break out of old habits and
If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to prepare for and to integrate your journey
then we may be a good fit for one another.
Psychedelics are not a silver bullet that will immediately take away all of your issues. They are non-specific amplifiers and what they can offer is an opening and insight into the invisible parts of your subconscious mind. Once the door has been opened, then you will have to take advantage of this by putting in the time and effort to integrate your experiences and transform your life in the ways that you were hoping for.
How much the door to your subconscious is opened depends on a few factors. One critical factor is preparation and mindset another is a safe and compassionately held set setting. I have no interest in offering clients an entertaining trip to an inner Disneyland that has little or no impact on daily life. After all, the yardstick for a successful experience is whether or not it leads to lasting changes in your day-to-day life and this is why it is so important to me that you leave with tools and skills that will support you in the long term.
Each private one-on-one psilocybin truffle journey includes:
A 30-minute intake call and a screening questionnaire to assess if we are a good fit for one another.
One 90-minute online preparation session.
One 90-minute online integration session with the option to take an additional 7-session integration package.
Breathwork to relax your nervous system before the journey.
An inner parts mapping exercise and tips on how to become aware of the different aspects of your ego.
A vegan, organic meal to complete your psilocybin journey.
After a journey with plant medicine, we can feel open, vulnerable, fragile and delicate. I want to ensure that you can just be in that space without having to navigate trains, buses, highway traffic and the outside world. This is why I will come to you rather than having you navigate the outside world in the hours after your journey.
These post-journey moments are so precious and can offer a lot of new insights if there is space for it. On the day of the psychedelic journey, I will come to your home or bed and breakfast, as long as it is in the Netherlands which means that you can just stay on the couch or in your warm bed and allow the medicine to continue offering you its gifts.
