"My Inward Bound experience was, at times, surprising and even challenging but in all ways illuminating and meaningful. The team of our four facilitators led this amazing process with deep knowledge, experience, creativity, and empathy. In this supportive atmosphere, I connected with myself and the other members of our group in the best possible ways. Beyond that, the comfortable accommodations, beautiful setting, and delicious, wholesome food made the perfect setting for a journey of self-discovery."

"It was my very first experience both with Inwardbound and with psilocybin. I cannot imagine how could it be better or more transforming than it was. In all aspect – it was perfect!
The venue was great, providing all one needs for a retreat like this: beautiful nature, comfortable room, spacious common spaces, delicious healthy food, etc.
I am forever grateful to the amazing Inwardbound team (Rob, Helena and Kalyani) for creating this safe, loving and supportive ceremonial space that allowed me to have this magical, life changing experience.
What a profound journey!"
"Inward Bound is the real deal. Rob, Renee, Darragh and Cristina created a space in time where a diverse group of people with varying intentions and needs opened, shared, sang, danced, laughed, loved and healed together. Delicious food, stunning setting and beautiful people. Go see for yourself. The best retreat I've been on. "
"I participated in a 5-day psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands. I had a profound experience under the influence of the mushrooms, but equally important was the presence, advice, support and all the activities offered by the therapists/facilitators. They are amazing people, experienced and professional, passionate about what they do and dedicated to ensuring the best, safest and most inspiring setting. Thanks to them, I believe, I can process and integrate the psilocybin experience in a way most beneficial for my healing and growth. They helped me understand how important it is to work with the body, to take a more holistic approach to healing and lifestyle, and they showed me ways to do it. I am immensely grateful not only for the safety they provided, but also for the joy, music, movement and companionship. I can recommend Inwardbound to anyone wanting to experience psilocybin. Don't do it alone, do it with Inwardbound! "
"Cristina is a wise woman, a healer, and a fountain of knowledge. She is a wonderful storyteller with a compassionate and light-hearted spirit. She is a talented singer and musician and has enormous empathy for those around her. "
"Renee is the most genuinely compassionate and kind person I have ever met. She is the perfect combination of professionalism, intelligence, experience, and Mother Earth energy. She is able to see into your heart, and offers advise that pinpoints your challenges and needs. She exudes warmth and love and has the singing voice of an angel."
"Darragh is the perfect combination of humour, fun, joy, experience and professionalism. His knowledge is unsurpassed and his ability to communicate with empathy and true caring is obvious. "
"This is Rob's true calling. The experience he and his fellow facilitators at Inward Bound have created is second to none. He approaches his work with empathy, knowledge, experience and a real love of humanity. Thank you!"
"You will not find another retreat centre that is better. The facilitators are the most empathetic, knowledgable, kind and talented people you could possibly meet. The psilocybin experience is only part of it - the retreat centre itself is beautifully set in nature, in miles of forests and only a 38 min walk to the sea. The vegetarian food was nourishing to the body and soul and absolutely tasty. The facilitators are there to advise and nurture your experience and involve you in breath work, yoga, talk, dance, art, music, etc. which gives you the most well rounded experience you could have! The sense of belonging and trust among the group is reassuring and creates bonds which could last a lifetime. It is a life changing experience."
"A fantastic and life changing and affirming experience expertly curated by a group of beautiful and caring human beings. Highly recommended. Everyone in our group got something from the experience albeit different in almost every case, and it was often said that they/ we got what was needed, but not always what was wanted. There was power in the group connections and shared consciousness. Very healing. "
"I had an incredible experience at the InwardboundRetreat! The atmosphere was simply enchanting, and the venue for the ceremony was beyond wonderful. The vegetarian food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. It truly is a magical place, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable experience!"
"I came to the retreat with quite high expectations. Being a psychologist, with adversed childhood experiences myself, and being both at the helper and receiving part of therapy, I was searching for a way to heal and reconcile from past relational trauma. This retreat extended my expectations in every single way. The location was breathtaking, the house incredibly beautyful and the vegan food both felt and tasted magnificant. But the best part of the whole experience was the the three organizers. They created such a safe environment for the group, supporting us with their humanistic approach, free from judgement, and enforced theoretical frameworks. I came in the search for healing, and can now say for sure that I am not only healed, but also transformed. I feel connected to the world outside, more grounded than ever and with a renewed love for mother Earth. This has been a pure and raw awakening experience that I didn’t even knew that I was longing for. I will forever be grateful for making this journey possible. "

"It's the most incredible experience I've ever had. Thanks to Inwardbound, to Rob, Renée, Tiziana, Darragh, I felt safe. I was heard in my requests and needs, accompanied. Before, during and after the ceremony. That's what made the experience so intense. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
"
"My experience in all was transforming , even life changing. The inwardbound provided the perfect conditions including the caring professionals and personnel, well thought process in total, beautiful location and what not. That all formed a unique container in which I felt safe, and in good professional hands. You and your own quest remain the central part of everything but they sure provide all the resources and support you would expect to need to succeed. My recommendations and good luck !"
"A series of chance meetings with various people led me to Inwardbound and I'm so grateful to whichever higher being or force set me on that path. The experience I had with Darragh, Renée and my fellow travellers is up there in my top 5 of my lifetime (the others being 3 childbirths and a marriage). This review is so effusive that it could sound unreal, but it couldn't be more real. Years and years of suffering and pain, which I had just accepted as being part of me, have lifted and I can see clearly now. I can't thank Darragh and Renée enough and I will shout from the rooftops about how wonderful they are and what an incredible process they guided us through. If you're considering a retreat, choose this one. Trust me."
"Again another beautiful human being who enhanced my experience and treated us all with beautiful care, an amazing voice whose songs brought even more greatness to the experience. Thank you Rene!"
"A beautiful experience at this retreat, my first time ever doing Psilocybin and one I’ll remember for the rest of my life, tough at times on my trip but well worth it. Thanks to inward for doing these retreats I got to a great place in my own head and life. Thank you."
"Darragh was an excellent facilitator, a great human being who helped us all through a great experience, a wonderful man who has definitely added to a beautiful experience! Thank you."
"I attended the retreat with my other half
For the first time
It was a experience beyond our imagination
Everything was so great and the set up was amazing
Thank you so much Rob and other member of the group for make everything so especial.
I can not put our experience in words
Just want to thank you all who were involve in all arrangements
We are looking forward to re do it in near future "
"I grew up avoiding all illegal substances and have never had the desire to bring any of them into my life.
As I’ve aged, my desire to grow emotionally and spiritually has increased. Two years of talk therapy helped me confront and process many of my traumas, and gave me several tools to maintain my emotional health.
When my group and I were looking for a unique idea for our annual retreat, someone suggested InwardBound’s Costa Rica journey. I was skeptical, but willing to go along with the group - and I’m so glad I did!
The InwardBound team made us feel so welcomed and safe. The food was spectacular and the setting magical. Everything about the experience was curated to be just right.
My personal journey with the medicine was nothing short of life changing. I had an entheogenic experience resulting in several epiphanies and feel like I “broke through” to a plane of existence I didn’t know possible.
I highly recommend InwardBound and will likely refer several friends and family members their way. "
"The Inward Bound team is class-A in terms of knowledge, preparation, and implementation. I organized a private retreat for myself and fellow business colleagues in the Costa Rica retreat center and was delighted with the experience. The focus on intentionality was clear, enabling us to glean significant value individually and collectively through thoughtful prompts and processes.
If you are seeking a life changing experience, I encourage you to join the Inward Bound team for a scheduled or private retreat."
"My experience with InwardBound was nothing short of magical, offering a deep dive into personal growth within a serene and invigorating environment. The program masterfully combines ancient wisdom with modern practices, facilitated by a team of empathetic and skilled guides. This journey not only fostered profound self-discovery but also cultivated a strong sense of community among participants, against the backdrop of nature’s breathtaking beauty.
InwardBound excels in creating a holistic experience that nurtures the soul and mind, making it a pivotal moment in my personal development journey. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful path toward self-discovery and spiritual awakening."
"Amazing experience - excellent team, great organization, beautiful venue- everything was just perfect!! highly recommend! "
"My husband and I recently participated in a 4-day psilocybin retreat with Inwardbound in Costa Rica. It was my first experience with a psychedelic, and we spent a lot of time looking for the right retreat. We could not have made a better choice. The house where the retreat took place was beautiful. The food that Nikki prepared for us was delicious. Rob and Renee created a safe space for us to dive deep into the psilocybin experience. This is serious work, not casual party time. It blew the doors of my heart wide open. "
"Rene is the person one could only wish in such a jeroney. Her amazing heart and energy is like a shining star, the river that flows with gentleness, loving, caring and angel voice. "
"Rob and his powerful energy make your experience truly amazing. He is there for you with his whole heart and knowledge, He is one of the best professionals and persons. He knows and loves what he is doing. "
"Professional, caring, deep and amazing team you are safe with"
"This experience was truly life changing for me. I'm so glad I did it with Inwardbound, they provided a very safe and open space for which the group could feel comfortable in. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else."
"If you are in search of a deep look within and you are ready, willing, and committed, these are the guides you want. I can’t conceive of a more well-executed, professional, safe, and expert group to guide you. I am very experienced in the use of plant medicines but experienced a deeper, more profound experience than I knew was possible. This is not a joy ride, so come only if prepared to do real work—but I can promise you it’s worth the effort. Beyond recommend. "
