"I am a psychotherapist and picky about how space is held.
What a wise, hospitable, loving team. We arrived and I was greeted with care. The 4 day retreat was explained so you felt safely held to really unfold into a deep process.
I was lucky to be joined by 9 other retreat participants who also were commited to a deep unfolding process.
I highly recommend. And I will be back next year. "

"Joe was a fantastic guider psilocybin retreat that I attended. He was warm, welcoming and engaging. He took time to spend with me one to one prior to the ceremony to allay any apprehensions that I might of had, explain the format, what to expect and generally put me at ease so that was as relaxed and as open as I could be ahead of the ceremony. He was incredibly personable and I felt that I came away from the experience having made a new friend in Joe. I would definitely like to return for another one of Acsauhaya's retreats with Joe maybe to experience an Ayahuasca ceremony next time. Thank you for being you Joe 🙏🏼"
"I had been wanting to take part in a Psilocybin ceremony for a while so chose my retreat carefully and from the reviews that I read and what I saw written online about Acsauhaya I was confident that they were a credible organisation. I wasn't disappointed, they treated the whole process from booking to the retreat itself with utmost professionalism. The ceremony was an amazing experience which I really enjoyed and it left me with sense of connectedness with myself and everything around me. I would highly recommend Acsauhaya to anyone who is considering a psilocybin experince - they will will look after you with the utmost care and you will be sure to have a transformative experience. Namaste x"
"I had an excellent experience at the Acsauhaya retreat center. The guides are top-notch—very knowledgeable and supportive. The retreat's location is beautiful, surrounded by peaceful nature, which adds a lot to the overall experience.
The ceremonies took place in a yurt, which provided a unique and memorable setting that I won't forget. The house we stayed in was very comfortable and well-equipped. The live music was fantastic, and it helped enhance the atmosphere and the overall experience. The food was also great, offering delicious and nourishing meals that complemented the retreat's holistic approach, especially the mushroom soup, which was just... wholesome.
I definitely recommend Acsauhaya to anyone looking for a well-organized, enriching retreat experience. The combination of great guides, beautiful surroundings, unique ceremony settings, amazing live music, delicious food, and comfortable accommodations makes it a standout choice.

"Shurandy stands out as an exceptional guide in the realm of psychedelic ceremonies. His kindness and extensive knowledge create a welcoming and safe atmosphere for exploration and growth. What truly sets Shurandy apart is his unwavering support and presence. Throughout the ceremony, he ensures that you feel seen and supported, providing reassurance and guidance exactly when you need it the most. His ability to foster a space of trust and openness makes the journey not only transformative but also deeply healing.
I can't recommend Shurandy highly enough for anyone looking to explore psilocybin with a guide who genuinely cares about the group's well-being and spiritual journey.

"I'm not usually someone that writes reviews but when you have such a wonderful beautiful experience how can I not! The Acsauhaya team are fantastic, they are not only loving, caring and supportive but also experienced, knowledgeable and professional. If you want the best therapeutic outcome you need to trust in your environment and your guides, that is what you get and more with Acsauhaya. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for my experience, I know my path has been changed forever."
"I spend a few beautiful days and I had an amazing psilocybin ceremony with caring facilitators that I am very grateful to. They were very kind and tolerant, the food was amazing and the vibe of the house is lovely and cozy, which makes you feel at home. Once again, thank you for this experience, will surely come back next year :)
Best regards,

"It’s hard to put into words the life-changing affect that Acsauhaya has had on my life so it is truly a privilege to be able to write this. I’m a 43-year-old woman living in London. I’ve struggled with depression for most of my adult life. I’ve tried talking therapies and various medications, but nothing really worked. These past 6-7 years I haven’t been able to feel real joy, love or authentic connection. In August I started to investigate plant medicine and discovered Acsauhaya. There was one space left on an upcoming 5-day Psilocybin group retreat in the Netherlands which included a six-week integration programme. From the very start of my experience with the team I felt safe, seen and supported. My transformational journey had begun.
A video call was arranged a few days prior to my arrival where I was able to meet the rest of my group, our Integration coach and the Acsauhaya team who would be guiding and facilitating our journey. This initial preparation session paved the way for a beautiful and strong bond with my group and allowed me the space to start to set my intentions. Next came set and setting. The centre in the Netherlands is a truly special space surrounded by nature with a very calming energy. From the second I arrived I knew I was in professional and very kind hands. We were welcomed with love and compassion and I felt safe, open and ready for what the medicine would bring. With the guidance of Rene, Dinte and Joe I was able to completely surrender and trust the experience. They are truly special humans; I've never met anyone quite like them. Plus the wonderful Hannah, providing guidance, loving kindness and nourishment throughout the five days by preparing delicious meals for us all.
The experience has been truly transformational; so much so that when I felt called to work with plant medicine again due to unexpected health challenges I called upon Rene and the team once more and I was lucky enough to be part of the first group at their new retreat in Spain. The house and the surrounding space is truly incredible. The neighbouring mountains, the wildlife and the warm breeze offers a very different feel to the Netherlands retreat but equally as special and transformative. The bonus of the sunshine all year round is a true gift. My third journey provided further love and healing but in addition, profound spiritual enlightenment that I truly believe has been life changing for me. I felt enveloped in love and kindness once again and was able to surrender thanks to the support of the team. My depression has lifted and I can wholeheartedly feel again. I honestly cannot thank Acsauhaya enough. I don’t quite have the words that convey the amount of gratitude I have. Thank you. It truly feels as though my life is just beginning xx

"This is the best retreat I have ever attended, such kind and loving people, so much tolerance and heart is put into the best possible experience. My journey was very challenging, but the facilitators made it all so much better, and they are always for you to listen to you, talk with you and spend time together. I felt so safe in there and taken care of, btw the food is so amazing there, I would go vegan with those foods only ! I can't recommend it better, no matter with what you are coming with, it will be attended to without any judgement whatsoever. Love you Rene, Joe, Dinte and lovely Hannah P.S. Panda is hanging on <3 "
"Joe is such a kind and loving person. He’s a steady rock to ground you, a safe and caring guide, and all around a great person."
"A calm, loving and safe guide and yogainstructor. She always has a warm smile and kind nature."
"René is a caring, experienced and very intelligent leader, and just the kind of person you want guiding you through a psycidelic experience, as well as making sure all your needs are taken care of during your stay. "
"From the first minute I arrived I felt I was in safe, and experienced hands. Which for me was very important, since I was terrified doing my first ever ceremony. Was nothing to worry about at all though.
Thanks so much to all the very loving, honest and caring teammembers at Acsauhaya.
I’m never going to another than this retreat 🙏🏼"
"This was one of the most beautiful and transformative experiences of my life. I came to Acsauhaya one person and left as another person—lighter, more at peace, and equipped with tools to continue finding lightness and joy in my life moving forward. I felt so safe and loved and supported by the beautiful team and couldn’t have had such an impactful journey without them. The house and land around it is also breathtaking, I enjoyed sitting and walking around outside and just taking in the peaceful natural landscapes. If you are feeling called to look inward, confront, and release something then this is the perfect place to do it!
I will certainly be back. "
"My experience at Acsuhaya was absolutely terrific!
I was on the 3-day psilocybin retreat and it exceeded all of my expectations.
The organizers were very good at making a calm and safe environment where we as participants (many of who it was their first psychadelic experience) felt safe and free to be part of the very personal ceremony."
"The experience was completely perfected for recharging me emotionally and spiritually.
The place was indeed beautiful and the staff were really friendly.
I am surprised to see my problems with insomnia and difficulty falling asleep are cured not to mention the profound insights I gained that made enjoy the little details in life which I never paid attention to."
"Warm,
welcoming and knowledgeable facilitators who provided the safe space that is essential for such a journey !
They remained present throughout retreat for all needs!
Music was clearly well suited for the process and in particular Francesca’s live music, such a talented lady!
The weekend has been life changing for me, it has blown my mind!
Would highly recommend to all! "
"A wonderful retreat. A retreat that can not only give insight into one's own problems or ostacles. But also can connect one to the other.
Thanks for letting me get to know you all, retreat crew and participants."
"Highly recommend, they are seasoned professionals"
