Schedule

DAY 1
Microdosing Experience and Preparation Day
We will start with an opening circle and sharing our intentions. We will microdose Psilocybin to prepare you for the Psilocybin experience the following day. We will teach you how to microdose at home as well. Emotional connection exercises will create a safe space within the group. We will also teach how to let yourself fully receive, how to connect to your inner child and give more important advise on how to navigate the stronger dose the following day.

DAY 3
1st Psilocybin Ceremony
Our first Psilocybin Ceremony is about diving into our pain and looking into the eyes of our fears and unknown patterns. We will discover that underneath layers of pain and fears we find an inner child who needs our attention, support and care and we will create space to meet this child's previously unmet needs

* Note: You are also encouraged to come with your own personal intentions to both ceremonies which we can assist you to find clarity on if needed.

DAY 4
Integration Day
Using tools such as Parts-Work and Sharing Circles and more we will help you to integrate the insights gained from our Psilocybin experiences of the past two days into your daily lives.

DAY 5
2nd Psilocybin Ceremony
This Psilocybin Ceremony is about meeting your inner beauty. What do you need to create a healthy relationship with yourself and how can you trust connection to others?

* Note: You are also encouraged to come with your own personal intentions to both ceremonies which we can assist you to find clarity on if needed.

DAY 6
Integration Day
On Day 6 we will focus on combining the mystical with the practical by breaking down the wisdom you received in a understandable and relatable way. Together we will create individual action plans on how to create the now wanted changes in our daily lives so that our lives feel congruent with our truth. We will offer a second opportunity for a microdose of Psilocybin on Day 7 to show how a microdose can help us to integrate a Psychedelic experience.

DAY 7
Departure Day
Closing Circle and Departure at 10:30am.
Note: Schedule is approximate and may change

THIS SHIFT
If I tell you that what is written on the Inner Shift Institute website is truly what you will get, would you believe it? I was hoping for some of that. Years of therapy and family problems brought me to a point from which I saw no way out. Neither for myself nor for my loved ones. I came with one intention to solve one of many problems and with a bit of hope that this trip would bring something. However, what I encountered was a complete surprise at the extremes of each scale. And THIS SHIFT which takes you from one side to another, would not have happened without the wise leadership of the entire team. During 6-day stay program prepared by Alice and the team, each stage played its most important role. Without the knowledge and open heart of the team, each stage of it, preparation, management, integration would be only a fleeting event. Alice, Jeanne, Cony, Amber, Caroline you accompanied me on my journey and your presence with your gifts was the key to the transformation of me and the problems I was struggling with, a transformation that happens even after I returned home. I felt within myself the solution to the problem I came with - no matter how strange it may sound, this feeling is the essence. I wholeheartedly recommend it...to the world!

From the heart
When I started my quest to find a guided psychedelic experience, A Whole New High (now Inner Shift) felt right immediately. They were responsive and provided information and guidance. Working with an established agency that employed seasoned practitioners was extremely important to me. Supporting a women owned and operated business was icing on the cake. When it came time to choose the practitioner, I knew that I would be in good hands with anyone. I was lucky enough to feel a connection with Karlijn through reading her biography and then watching a video of her explaining what could be expected throughout the process.
I appreciate having the opportunity to work with AWNH, now Inner Shift, but am profoundly grateful to Karlijn for her expertise, her light, and her grounding nature. Her experience and wisdom helped guide me through a life changing journey. Karlijn’s energy and unwavering trust in this work provided the space and tools I needed to move through deep rooted barriers. With Karlijn’s help, I was able to face fears and ultimately surrender to the process. I do not feel that words are enough to describe my gratitude to this agency, for believing in this therapeutic modality and then employing women like Karlijn, who give themselves to this work so that people like me can find deep and profound healing.

HIGHLY SAFE AND PROFESSIONAL FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH PLANT MEDICINE
Had my first-ever experience with plant medicine (psilocybin) with Caro and the Inner Shift Institute, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The entire team, from booking to trip guidance and integration, truly managed to create the best possible setting for a first-timer.

The preparation was thorough and I was sent a bunch of useful resources well in time before the trip, all very helpful for a soft introduction to the world of psychedelics. This included a whole video course, a preparation video, book recommendations, and so forth.

Caro was a wonderful guide throughout my experience. The preparation session was great, and she was thorough, analytical, and emotionally sound when guiding me in setting an intention for the trip. The result was great confidence and a calm, clear mind ahead of the experience.

For anyone feeling a bit of nervousness surrounding plant medicine, Caro is a wonderful person to have around! She created a comfortable, safe, light, and professional setting from the minute we met, and ensured the same atmosphere throughout the experience. To me, this resulted in complete trust, surrender, and readiness both ahead of, during, and after the trip.

The integration session took place a few days after the trip, granting me the time needed to thoroughly reflect upon the experience on my own first. During the integration, Caro truly helped me both make sense of my visions and connect them to my intention, my patterns, and life itself.

I am ending this experience with increased clarity and a strong motivation to continue my inner work. I truly recommend the Inner Shift Institute to anyone aiming to enter the world of plant medicine and its healing powers.
