TAKE IT FURTHER
As an optional add-on, we offer a supporter tier that includes a 6-week microdosing coaching programme. It is designed for those who want to keep the momentum going after the retreat — and it is also a meaningful way to support what we do.

This is a WOMEN-LED retreat. You will be guided by Ioana and Imke, both experienced facilitators who combine an academic / research background with in-depth personal practice and training.
Our approach is holistic and trauma-informed, working with both mind and body to support deep transformation. Further support comes from our team of assistants, all with extensive experience and training in guiding immersive psychedelic journeys. With a ratio of at least 1 team member to 3 participants, and by adhering to a strict rule of sobriety for all team members throughout the retreat, we are dedicated to offering the care, attention and support each participant needs.

A KEY PRINCIPLE of our work is supporting the integration of the retreat’s insights into daily life. Our approach is unique in the depth and variety of guidance we offer for this process. Integration begins during the retreat itself, where you will practice a time-tested approach to increasing awareness and shifting from automatic reactions to conscious responses. In addition, the integration day, the complimentary PDF guide, and the group online call one month after the retreat are all designed to help you translate the experience into an embodied reality.

OUR PROMISE THAT SETS US APART:
1. A unique blend of tools and practices designed to expand the nervous system’s capacity to navigate intense experiences, while cultivating relaxation and safety in body and mind, allowing access to and release of repressed emotions, memories, and limiting beliefs.
2. A women-led retreat with experienced facilitators and a guide team of four for ten participants, ensuring close attention, care, and support throughout the retreat.
3. An immersive experience that gently takes you in a journey towards letting go of defense mechanisms and uncovering the truth of who you authentically are.
4. Trauma sensitive facilitation and program.
5. A thorough and thoughtful approach to preparation and integration, offering the guidance and tools needed to turn insights into lived reality.
6. A down-to-earth approach that bridges science and spirituality, grounded in a deep understanding of the conditions needed for sustainable, long-lasting transformation.

To start your transformation journey, all it needs is a first step. Send us a message, we are happy to respond to all your questions and to help you decide if the 4-day Foundation Retreat fits your intention, situation and goals.

A very intensive retreat with comprehensive care by a committed team
I recently did a 3-night retreat here and it was one of the most intense I have ever done. At other retreat centres, they often keep you busy in the morning and evening only, but at this one, they did tantra and other meditation, breathwork and somatic exercises all day long.
The exercises were sometimes a little bit confronting but consent was always asked for and you were able to pull out of any exercise you wanted to without judgment.
Imke and Ioana and the two other facilitators put a lot of effort into every single exercise and were very present with all of us.
The location on farm property in the countryside was a much welcome escape. For those who need access, the WiFi was perfect, the facilities had everything you need and the food was very good.
On the final night, the truffle ceremony was one of the most intense experiences of my life and the team prepared us very well and helped me through it from start to finish.
It has been a life-changing experience and my brain feels like it has harmonized in a way that I have not felt since I was very young. My daily routines since coming back from the retreat have also changed and I am trying to engage with the world, myself and my healing much more consciously.
If you are concerned at all about safety while having a truffle experience, I would highly recommend this team as they were very committed, hard-working and extremely present.
