Legal Psilocybin Retreats in the Netherlands
Foundation, Courage, Death & Rebirth
Our retreats are not standalone events. They are a journey — four stages designed to be experienced in sequence, each building on the last. What connects them is a single question:
who are you becoming, and what needs to fall away for that to be possible?
Each retreat weaves together legal psilocybin truffles, breathwork, and body-oriented practices in a small group of up to 10 participants, held at a single private venue in the Dutch countryside. Women-led, trauma-informed, and grounded in both science and lived experience.
Who comes here
You don't have to be in crisis.
You just have to be ready.
Most people who come to us are functioning well on the outside. They are professionals, parents, people with full lives. And yet something is off — a flatness, a sense of going through the motions, a pattern that keeps repeating no matter how much they understand it.
Burnout & exhaustion
Years of overgiving that have left you disconnected from your own energy and direction.
Anxiety & depression
The loop that won't stop, or the flatness that won't lift — especially when other approaches have stopped working.
Stuck in patterns
Relationships, behaviours, or beliefs you can see clearly but can't seem to shift from the inside.
The search for meaning
A career established, a life built — and still the sense that something essential is missing.
The journey
Four retreats.
One arc.
Each retreat stands alone — you can begin with Foundation without committing to what follows. But they are designed as a progression: each stage deepens what came before.

A conscious and ceremonial letting go of the version of yourself you have outgrown. For those who have done the foundational work and are ready to release, fully and deliberately.

Courage
5 days / 4 nights
For those ready to go deeper. The element of fire, and a direct encounter with the limiting beliefs and inherited identities that keep you smaller than you are.
Coming 2029
Rebirth
5 days / 4 nights
The culmination. Landing fully in who you are becoming and beginning to live it — not as a future possibility, but as a present reality.
How it works
Every retreat follows
three phases
O1 Prepare
Carefully conducted intake process, a one-on-one intake call before the retreat, plus a hand-on practical tools preparation guide and a pre-recorded breathwork session. The days before the ceremony are not a warm-up — they are where the nervous system builds the capacity to go deep safely. Daily breathwork and body-oriented practices create the foundation.
02 Journey
The retreat itself: breathwork sessions, body-oriented practices inspired by Eastern yogic traditions, and one or two guided psilocybin truffle ceremonies — each lasting approximately four to six hours — held in a fully supported, carefully prepared space. Maximum 10 participants. Facilitator-to-participant ratio of 1:3.
03 Integrate
An integration day closes every retreat. A PDF guide, a pre-recorded guided breathwork session and a group online call one month later support the consolidation of what shifted. This is where insights become a new way of living — not a memory of a powerful weekend.
How your days unfold
Four Retreats. 4, 5 or 6 days. One unfolding.
Every retreat follows the same arc — arrival, preparation, ceremony, integration. What changes is the depth of time given to each.
The 4-day format moves through it with focus and intention.
The 5-day adds a second day of body & breath before the ceremony — more space to open.
The 6-day goes furthest with two psilocybin truffles ceremonies, each building on the other.
Arrival
You arrive in the afternoon. After the first shared meal, an evening somatic workshop opens the space — gently, without rush.
Body & Breath
One or two days of breathwork and body-oriented practices. By evening you feel safe in the group and deeply connected to yourself.
The Ceremony
Morning breathwork. Then a breathwork session for emotional release — a journey in itself. Followed by the psilocybin truffle ceremony. Each ceremony ends with food, rest, and quiet coming back.
Integration
Sharing what arose. Guidance for the days ahead. A soft transition back into life — with something new to carry.
Where we gather
The venue: De Stille Kracht
A restored barn on 3.5 acres of Dutch countryside — reserved entirely for our group.
The space
Old barn, carefully restored. Room to walk, to sit in nature, to be quiet between sessions.
Staying over
Dorm in the main barn, or a private room in the little barn (limited, €55/night supplement). Shared bathrooms. Simple and intentional.
The food
Vegan, organic, freshly prepared. Every meal designed to gently support the body through the process.
Not included: travel, transport, and personal travel insurance.
Women-led.
Science and practice, both.
Our retreats are led by Ioana and Imke — two women whose paths converged through a shared belief that real transformation requires both rigour and depth.
They are supported by a team of 2 assistants, all with extensive experience in immersive psychedelic facilitation.
Ioana
Co-founder & facilitator
A decade in academia as a researcher and lecturer in mental health and psychedelics. Now practicing what she studied. Trained in breathwork and body-focused practices inspired by yogic traditions. Grounded, careful, and committed to depth over hype.
Imke
Co-founder & facilitator
Biologist and ecologist by training, a mystic by calling. Extensive experience with plant medicine, tantra, breathwork, bodywork, and inner child integration. Brings warmth, precision, and a deep trust in each participant's process.
“I have never experienced such a high level of support during a ceremony and I really want to highlight that. My brain feels like it has harmonised in a way that I have not felt since I was very young. My daily routines since coming back have also changed — I am trying to engage with the world, myself and my healing much more consciously.”
