POST RETREAT

Our vision is that integration and preparation are as important as the psychedelic journey itself.

After the retreat, we invite you to join an online group check-in circle, to connect and share your experiences.

We will also set up a time for another individual 90-minute coaching session to support you in integrating any changes and insights that you have had. This way we ensure you anchor your experience and benefit more from the wisdom that arose during your journey.

 



Contraindications: If you have heart problems, severe mental health problems or psychosis, this event is not suitable for you. If you are in doubt about other conditions or medications you are taking, please consult your doctor.

After your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to an online form with a few additional questions. After completing this form, the team will contact you to schedule the 1:1 preparation.


 

What is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin and psilocin are chemical compounds obtained from certain types of fresh hallucinogenic truffles. These have been used for many centuries in various spiritual and medical rituals for their ability to alter consciousness and trigger mystical experiences.
Psilocybin is showing a lot of promise for helping people to treat cluster headaches, and overcome hard-to-treat (or treatment-resistant) and life-disrupting conditions like addiction and major depression. Psilocybin reduces activity in the amygdala, the brain region associated with fear and anxiety.





Under the influence of the active ingredient psilocybin, the brain opens up new avenues of exploration. Connections are made that are not normally active. This process can lead to new insights, processing stuck emotions and traumas, and positively influencing the interpretation of life after the experience. Users often describe that they discover entirely new ways of thinking about the world and themselves, and expanding their awareness.

Our experienced team is there to assist you in this ceremony, to hold space and create a safe container. We work with music, incense, and other tools to support you throughout the journey.




The Venue

We will gather at the Tinusboom retreat centre. Our ceremony will take place in the cosy sunroom. We will eat fresh vegetarian meals in the dining room (although we will fast on Saturday after a light breakfast). There are comfortable shared bedrooms,  with duvets and pillows. Bring your own towel and linen. Each room has its own shower and basin.

You are welcome to relax in the communal area or sit in one of the little nooks in the attractive garden. The garden has an unobstructed view of the adjacent estate and a pond which is in open connection with the river Alm. It is a place where you can come home, explore and reconnect with your core.

Extended Future
The retreat still has the quality of a supernova that compressed 35 years of Zen Meditation and 6 years of therapy.
I am very grateful for that to Sarah and Nic. It was my first psychedelic experience.
What I appreciated most:
The dosis they choose for me. It was ideal to ride on the ridge of my consciousness.
When I was stuck during the session in whatever neverending spiral they found the right remedy to boost me up.
The firm and stable but also soft frame they established. It felt confident and almost familiar to "let go"!
Last but not least Nic`s cuisine!

Healing and powerful experience, contained with immense compassion
I did a private psilocybin ceremony with Sarah and I'm planning to do another one. She is a fantastic guide who brought more patience and compassion to our ceremony than I have ever experienced in my life. Combining psilocybin with Internal Family Systems was an approach I found immensely powerful. I have done more IFS work with Sarah to consolidate the last ceremony and to discover more of what needs healing in the next one. I have done a lot of therapy and I was amazed at the power of the IFS approach, and of the way Sarah's calm, compassionate, wise manner helped me to gain new insights and new ways of working with my difficult emotions. I thoroughly recommend her!

Psychedelic Truffle Weekend - Group Retreat
It has now been two months since I took an insightful psylocibin journey with Sarah&Nic and it still lives with me as if it were yesterday. It was my first introduction to truffles. I was a bit hesitant about the unknown, but the soft and warm framework and professionalism of Sarah&Nic convinced me. Sarah's loving guidance helped me to surrender and to resolve my resistance. For me it has become a wonderful revelation of my inner world of feelings which has given me insights into my unconscious being. I'm already looking forward to the next session! Nic's fantastic cooking skills are not to be missed!! Sarah&Nic are a gift for you!
