David
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
David is driven by a deep curiosity about the mind and the transformative potential within each individual, as well as gratitude for the privilege of supporting others in these processes. He is compassionate and grounded.
His journey into plant medicines began at age 20, sparking a lifelong exploration that links science and healing. After studying cognitive neuroscience in the context of psychedelic research, David felt called to support people more directly, leading him to pursue a second master’s in clinical psychology. He spent the last five years working for various legal psilocybin retreat organizations in the Netherlands, while travelling to Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico to immerse himself in traditional shamanic lineages and indigenous sounds to deepen his practice.
At Tangerine Retreat, David combines his background in psychology, science, and spirituality to support participants through their preparation, journey, and integration. He also integrates consciousness work with the healing power of sound bathing.
