5 Day Psilocybin Retreat

With over 1,000 participants on our retreats since 2018, Inwardbound are one of the world leaders in delivering psilocybin retreats. This group retreat has a very special intention—to help leaders to re-focus your energy on your correct life path. Aligning words with thoughts, with actions, with emotions. Once we help you re-align, we will help you re-vision.

During the retreat, there will be 2 sessions with psilocybin truffles, complemented by a range of activities with the intention to maximise your experience.

Here’s what our retreat programme has in store for you:

• 2 Consultations with a Psychotherapist: Our therapist will assist you in preparing for the experience. Also they will help you with your integration process after the retreat, to ensure that you understand the insights and learnings so that you can incorporate them into your daily life.
• Group Preparation Session: Prepare yourself for the transformative journey ahead with guided preparation sessions led by our Psychotherapist and experienced facilitators. Explore intention setting, safety protocols, and self-care practices.
• 2 Psilocybin Ceremonies: Experience the profound healing potential of psilocybin in a safe and supportive ceremonial setting. Guided by experienced facilitators, you’ll embark on a journey of inner exploration, gaining insights, and perspectives that can enhance your personal growth and healing.
• 2 Integration Sessions: Process your experience with our free one-hour online group integration session and workbook. We also offer additional online group integration sessions throughout the year for €25. Furthermore, extra private integration sessions with our psychotherapist are available if required (payable directly to them).
• Yoga & Meditation: Reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit through daily yoga practices. Cultivate inner peace as you move through gentle flows, grounding poses, and mindful meditations fostering a deeper connection with yourself and the present moment.
• Breathwork: Tap into the transformative power of your breath with breathwork sessions designed to release tension stored in the body, unlock stagnant energy, and cultivate a sense of balance, relaxation and vitality.
• Time in nature and to relax: Enjoy walks in the national park woodlands surrounding the retreat center and unwind in the sauna or around the fire pit in the evenings.
• Group Support and Community: Join a group of open minded people who share your passion for alternatives to healing. Forge meaningful connections, share insights and experiences, and offer mutual support and encouragement as you journey together towards greater well-being and fulfilment.

Why InwardBound?

• At InwardBound, our interdisciplinary team of psychotherapists, PhD scientists and holistic therapists believe in weaving together the threads of science and spirituality, knowing that the two ways are one. We work in the broad tradition of Dr Stan Grof – creating a safe container for people to access the wisdom of their own inner healer.
• We come from a long tradition of psilocybin use in Ireland. Our Celtic ancestors used the wild mushrooms of Northern Europe (Psilocybe Semilanceata) and worked with the patterns of nature for healing and spiritual growth and we continue that land-based ancestral tradition to create a modern context for psilocybin ceremony and reconnection with nature.
• We hold small groups with 3-4 facilitators (a balance of male and female) to a maximum of 13 participants. This low ratio allows us to provide the highest possible standard of care for our participants. Private rooms are available on most retreats.
• To make sure this form of healing is open to people from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds, we offer financial assistance. If you feel like you are a candidate, please send a 500 word application to admin@inwardbound.ie
