Program Structure
Recognizing that lasting and meaningful change requires more than just the medicine experience itself, our immersive 7-day retreat program is built on a foundation of thorough preparation and comprehensive integration. Designed specifically for therapists and healthcare providers interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy, our program dedicates significant time before, during, and after the psilocybin sessions to ensure deep and sustainable transformation. Through extensive preparatory work, carefully guided experiences, and ongoing integration support, we create an environment that seeks to maximize both personal growth and professional development.
Pre-Retreat Preparation
Your journey begins well before arrival with three (3) structured online group sessions.
-
These preparatory meetings allow you to connect with your retreat cohort, develop clear intentions, and gain deep understanding of psychedelic-assisted therapy from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective.
-
You'll learn about the profound role of sitting for others during a journey and have all your questions answered by experienced facilitators, ensuring you arrive feeling confident and prepared.
Retreat Experience
You will spend 7 days and 7 nights at our beautiful retreat "home" in the Dutch countryside town of Oijen, Netherlands. There you'll have the opportunity to participate in two (2) psilocybin sessions as a "doser", supported both by peer participants and by our experienced facilitation team. You'll also have two (2) sessions during which you will have the honor of sitting for others in your cohort who are journeying, thereby gaining invaluable perspective and developing skills that enhance your own integration process.
-
Between sessions, you'll engage in carefully crafted integration activities all designed to help you make the most of your experience both personally and professionally.
-
The schedule includes one free afternoon to explore the local area, either independently or with fellow participants.
Post-Retreat Integration
The integration process continues after departure with two online group sessions with your cohort. These meetings focus on supporting your re-entry process and creating actionable plans to implement insights and desired changes into your daily life.

What your investment makes possible
Ours is not the cheapest retreat available, nor is it the most expensive. That's by design. We are a values-based organization, committed to advancing Contextual Behavioral Science and other evidence-based approaches within the growing field of psychedelic science, and to doing so inside a genuinely safe learning environment. We have tremendous respect for the wider retreat community; we simply believe that a science-based approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) deserves a larger place in this field as it grows, and our pricing reflects the model we've built to support that.

Often limited by a packed schedule

Often shared or dormitory-style rooms
1 or 2 dosing sessions compressed into 3–5 days.

Typically open to anyone who applies, with little or no professional screening
Varies widely; rarely evidence-based or guided by an empirically-supported theoretical model
Not offered
Exclusively for mental health and allied health professionals and students in training. Every participant is pre-screened for suitability and cohort fit — ours are training retreats for professionals, not general psychedelic experience retreats
A psychological flexibility model grounded in ACT and contextual behavioral science, informed by the evolving evidence base
18 CE credits included
Private single rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom
2 dosing sessions, separated by 2 full days of integration and rest over the course of 7 days.
Structured, substantive preparation and integration, grounded in current research and the evolving evidence base
Unstructured time to connect with fellow participants, soak in the surroundings, or simply be still
1:1 sitter to doser ratio. Plus 6 additional, highly experienced "Setters" on-site as backup support
As a training retreat, the focus is not just on your own personal experience, but also in working with others in the psychedelic space. You'll have two opportunities to sit for a fellow participant — a rare, hands-on part of the training
Fully legal under Dutch law. Our retreats take place in the Netherlands where psilocybin truffles are legal to purchase and consume.
We are committed to increasing accessibility within the field of psychedelics. A portion of your tuition supports our scholarship fund for participants from low-income and marginalized communities
$4,550 early-bird / $4,950 full price — mid-range for a comparable multi-day, fully-supported program
Our Commitment
We built this retreat because we believe evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapy deserves a bigger place in this growing field. We are leading researchers, trainers, and clinicians committed to bringing scientific rigor, safety, care, and equity to this work — not to compete on price, but to compete on rigor, safety, and care. Every dollar of tuition goes toward making that possible, including making it possible for people who couldn't otherwise afford to be here.
A portion of every tuition dollar goes directly into our scholarship fund, helping us bring therapists and other professionals from marginalized communities and low-income countries into this training — because the people shaping the future of this field should reflect the people it's meant to serve.
