5-Day Psychedelic Retreat

We are seeing increasing number of medical professionals- from GPs to psychiatrists come on our retreats. Their story is often the same, physicians and those in the healing professions frequently put self-care on the back burner, especially at times like these. So we are putting this retreat on specifically for those in the caring professions as an opportunity to receive, be nourished and to recharge. To fill your own cup before filling everyone else’s.  To honour you hard work, we are offering 15 % discount to anyone working in the healing professions on our December 2020 retreat.

Our December 2020 retreat takes place in a luxury venue situated in a nature reserve an hour from Amsterdam. The authentic 19th-century Dutch abbey accommodation provides the perfect setting for your 5-day retreat.  A private room for every participant and the ample common areas provide a place for you to relax, journal and maximise your stay with us. The peaceful location of the retreat centre means there is plenty of opportunity for reflection, trips to the nature reserve and long walks on the beach. The chapel is available for private reflection and meditation.

Our winter retreat will take full advantage of the accommodation with plenty of opportunities for nature connection in the local woods and brisk walks on the beach. The gathering will be reflective, nourishing and will provide the perfect container for a healing and nourishing group journey.

During the 5-day retreat we will have 2 sessions with psilocybin truffles, complemented by a range of activities designed to maximise your experience and affect lasting change in your life.

This forms the focal point of our Psychedelic Retreat Programme.

The Venue

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 four facilitators (a balance of male and female) to a maximum of 12 participants. This low ratio allows us to provide the highest possible standard of care for our participants. Private rooms are available on most retreats.
