InwardBound September 2019 Group Retreat
With Rob Ó Cobhthaigh, Caroline McMullen, Dr. Darragh Stewart Phd and Aoife Howe
September 20 - 24, 2019
5-Day Psychedelic Retreat
Our September 2019 retreat takes place in the heart of the Veluwe national park in the Netherlands. The retreat centre consists of 3 houses and has a hot tub, a pond for swimming and lovely walks in the surrounding forest. The autumn retreat will take full advantage of the remaining good weather with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and eco-therapy. The gathering will be energising, joyful 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 and therapies designed to maximise your experience and affect lasting change in your life.
This forms the focal point of our Psychedelic Retreat Programme.
