"Niels is a skilled facilitator. He prepares his retreat events perfectly, taking care of all details that come together resulting in the best experience possible. He inspires trust and confidence in the participants. Thank you, Niels. "
"Kind, caring and supportive! Thank you, Femke! "
"Even tough I was having such a hard time in the first half of this journey...I was in very good hands and felt very safe and well taking care of.
I am extremely greatful for this experience and I thank Niels and Femke from the bottom of my heart. "
"I had a lot of existential thoughts and blockages that I wanted to look at from a new perspective with the help of psilocybin. Alan took time in a Zoom call to understand me and my goals. I booked a 1 Day Private Psilocybin Ceremony in Amsterdam and Alan arrived to my flat. He took care of my needs at the time of the experience and provided a great guidance. Also the Zoom call conversation to integrate my experience into my life was very useful and helpful. My mind is now full of new ideas about old stuff, which never crossed my mind before. So I'm very grateful for this journey!"
"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."

For French people, it is relevant to get by in English…. Happy retreat to you!

"Niels and Femke are experienced facilitators and have provided me with everything I needed for taking my first psilocybin trip. There was an initial intake call, in which we talked about why I was considering this and what it looks like to take the trip. This call also gauges whether I'd benefit from the trip. Two weeks prior, I got a further email in detail to prepare for the trip (dos and don'ts, among others). During the session, we had a serene location in a small Dutch village, along with several other participants. They are also great at bringing people together. We had some discussions, instructions, and breathwork sessions that prepared us for the psilocybin journey. As a result, I felt relaxed and prepared for the journey which is indeed the case (also the music felt very immersive - with additional instruments being played on top of the played music. I learned by now that music is also a very important setting element.). Afterward, we gathered together, had our delicious vegan dinner, shared and reflected on our experiences, and danced. The sharing sessions bring people closer and reflect on each of our journeys, as is the dance. We stayed overnight, had our breakfast, gathered together and departed back to our homes. All in all, a very well-arranged and organized retreat from the accommodation, meals, events rundown, and the set/setting for the psilocybin trip. I am grateful for both facilitators, as well as my fellow participants."
"Niels, was simply amazing. His professionalism and empathy set the tone for the entire retreat. He guided us with grace and understanding, creating a safe space where we could all open up and grow. Niels's genuine care for each participant was evident in every interaction, making the experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Niels to anyone looking for a facilitator who is not only skilled but also deeply empathetic and caring."
"As someone experiencing this type of retreat for the first time, I couldn't have asked for a better facilitator than Niels and his group. His professionalism and empathy made me feel at ease from the start, and I quickly found myself fully immersed in the experience. Everything about the retreat, from the activities to the atmosphere, was simply amazing. Niels played a key role in making my first retreat experience unforgettable, and I'm grateful for his guidance and support."
"I recently had the pleasure of attending a retreat that exceeded all my expectations in every possible way. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality that immediately put me at ease. The facilitators were not only professional but also incredibly friendly, making me feel like part of a welcoming community from the very start.
Throughout the retreat, every detail was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. From the serene surroundings to the thoughtfully curated activities, it was evident that every aspect of the experience had been carefully designed to foster relaxation, rejuvenation, and personal growth.
The facilitators' expertise shone through in their guidance and support, creating a safe and nurturing environment where I felt comfortable exploring new ideas and perspectives. Their passion for what they do was contagious, inspiring me to fully immerse myself in each activity and embrace the opportunity for self-discovery.
In addition to the enriching program, the accommodations were top-notch, providing a cozy retreat where I could unwind and recharge amidst nature's beauty. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the retreat, ensuring that my comfort and well-being were always prioritized.
Overall, my experience at this retreat was nothing short of transformative. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and profoundly grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a remarkable journey. Without a doubt, I will be returning for future retreats, eager to reconnect with the wonderful community and continue my journey of self-exploration and growth. If you're seeking a truly exceptional retreat experience, look no further – this is it."
"Attending the Alegria psychedelic retreat was a transformative experience for me, as someone dealing with chronic fibromyalgia pain, anxiety, and occasional depression. From my first interaction with Alan, there was an immediate connection, and I embarked on the journey from the Middle East to the Netherlands with anticipation and curiosity.
Opting for two private ceremonies, I found it hard to articulate the profound impact of my encounters with psilocybin. Each ceremony was a unique and intensely powerful experience. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Alan, who traveled from Germany to facilitate these ceremonies and guide me through them. I'm also deeply appreciative of my brother Stan, whose presence during the second ceremony helped me delve into my emotions and release my suffering. Their authenticity and genuine intention to alleviate my struggles were palpable throughout.
Upon returning home, I noticed a remarkable shift in my mindset. Fear and anxiety no longer held me captive, and my suffering had notably lessened. I am eager to repeat this journey with the same compassionate individuals. Thank you, Alegria, and everyone involved in facilitating this profound healing experience. 🙏🏻🕯️"
"I signed up to this retreat last minute, not knowing totally what was involved & not knowing what I would get out of it...
...What I got was life changing.
The whole team at Alegria have an incredible aura about them, creating a space where you can truly be yourself without being judged or worrying what people think (I was amazed at how many shields I had up).
It's hard to put into words what happens to you during the ceremonies, but for me personally, for the first time in my life, I got answers to some of the bigger questions & had revelations about myself, my work & relationships. One thing to note is how incredible the support is during the ceremony - the team have an incredible way of knowing when you need some support during your experience & when you're okay to have some space. Another thing to note is how incredible the music is during the ceremony and throughout the retreat (Viva Malika)!
In short, I arrived at the retreat burnt out from work, lethargic & struggling in myself & relationships. I left feeling very much as if I was starting a new life, healing old wounds & starting to live as we were meant to, in joy!
You won't regret it.

"From the first call with Nancy, I felt at ease, safe and like I had made a good choice. She explained everything perfectly and has a lovely, warm presence that made everything easy.
On the day itself, I had some difficult content come up which she took in her stride, helping me through it all in the best way she possibly could have done - with the help of James, of course!
Thank you Nancy."
"Magda was my guide. She’s gentle with a loving soul and she expertly guided me through what was a fabulous journey of discovery.. The pre retreat information and discussion was excellent and I felt very well prepared. If you want a retreat that helps prepare you for the best result, this is it.
I couldn't recommend Magda as your guide more highly. "
"Amazing experience - excellent team, great organization, beautiful venue- everything was just perfect!! highly recommend! "
"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 am just back from my first retreat and I have never been on any type of wellness retreat so I was not sure what to expect. Alan, Nuria, Stan, Malika, and Sinja did a fantastic job guiding and helping myself and the group. They engendered trust, gave us very meaningful guidance and kept a very warm and caring environment throughout. I feel the team at Alegria are completely genuine and they made the experience very helpful and memorable. I cannot recommend them enough if you are considering a retreat."
"The organisers, Niels and Femke, curated every aspect of the trip perfectly, ensuring everything was well organised and thought out. The activities, such as breathwork and mindful, intentional goal setting, were incredibly helpful and allowed me to connect with myself on a deeper level. I also felt safe and cared for the entire time. I am so grateful for the experience I had and would highly recommend this retreat."
"I can only thank Niels and Femke for their amazing guidance and support all throughout the retreat. From the preparation, the arrival and to the actual retreat everything was very well organized and we felt taken care of throughout the journey.
The group was just the right size and the setting was quite idyllic too.
I recommend them whole-heartedly."
