RETREAT IN NETHERLANDS

"We co-create a supportive, holistic framework for healing and transformation."

TRANSORMATIVE PSYCHEDELIC RETREAT WITH PSILOCYBIN TRUFFLES IN NETHERLANDS

A Queer Journey of Connection, Exploration & Belonging

Purpose

We all carry stories about who we are, who we have been, and who we have learned to be in order to feel accepted.

But what happens when we no longer need to hide, perform, or fit into expectations?

The Beauty of Being Ourselves is an intimate invitation to reconnect with ourselves, explore our identities, and experience the freedom of belonging exactly as we are.

What We Do

Surrounded by nature, we will explore the connections between our bodies, inner worlds, creativity, and relationships through carefully facilitated experiences combining psilocybin truffles, art, somatic practices and shared reflection.

Where We’re Starting

At the heart of this journey is community: creating a space where we can be seen without judgment, express ourselves freely, and connect with others through vulnerability, curiosity, and compassion.

Vision

This is not about fixing ourselves or becoming someone else. It is about making space for every part of who we are.

A space where our identities, bodies, stories, and ways of loving are welcomed, respected and celebrated.

We invite you to join us on this journey and experience the beauty and power of showing up as our unapologetic, authentic selves.

HOW IS THE PROCESS?

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we bring together art, somatic practices, creativity, and shared reflection to create a welcoming space for self-exploration, authentic expression, and meaningful connection, where every part of who we are can be embraced and celebrated.

FOR WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS?

This session is open to anyone who feels called to explore and experience it, with a willingness to go deeper within themselves.

This session provides a dedicated space to address your questions, understand your personal goals, and determine if this journey aligns with your needs in a safe and responsible environment.

Over these three days, you will participate in supportive practices such as breathwork, meditation, and music, which help create an environment that encourages deep exploration of your emotions, memories, and profound insights. Throughout the retreat, you will be accompanied by trained facilitators who provide compassionate support and guidance, ensuring your experience is meaningful and transformative.

5 - INTEGRATION

Integration is crucial to transforming the insights from the experience into meaningful changes in your daily life. This stage includes one individual session of 1 hour and one group session of 2 hours, where we will work together to process what you experienced, identify key messages from the journey, and develop practical tools to incorporate these learnings into your everyday life. These sessions provide essential support to promote sustained well-being and help you navigate the profound shifts that may arise from your journey.
