Inwardbound 3 day Private Group Psilocybin Retreat Netherlands for Psychologists and Psychotherapists

With more than 1,000 retreat participants since 2018, Inwardbound has become a recognized leader in psilocybin retreat experiences.

This intimate retreat is designed for a private group of 12-13 guests, supported by 3-4 facilitators and guided by the tradition of Dr. Stan Grof. The programme includes one psilocybin truffle session, along with carefully chosen activities intended to deepen and support the overall experience.

Here is an overview of what is included:

• 1:1 consultation with a psychotherapist to help you prepare for the retreat.
• Group preparation session covering intention setting, safety protocols, and self-care, led by the psychotherapist and experienced facilitators.
• 2 training workshops on psychedelic-assisted therapy with the Inwardbound founders, psychotherapist Rob Ó Cobhthaigh and Dr. Darragh Stewart PhD.
• 1 psilocybin ceremony in a safe, supportive setting for inner exploration, insight, and healing.
• 2 integration sessions, including a group integration circle and a 1:1 consultation.
• Yoga and meditation practices to support grounding, presence, and connection.
• Breathwork sessions designed to release tension and encourage balance and relaxation.
• Time in nature, with walks in the surrounding national park woodlands, plus sauna time and evenings by the fire pit.
• Group support and community in a small, open-minded setting.

Daily Schedule:

Day 1: Arrival at 14.00 near Amsterdam Central Train Station, followed by a private transfer to the retreat center. After a welcome and opening circle, the afternoon and evening are devoted to preparation, with the option of a nature walk or sauna, dinner, and time to relax.

Day 2: The day begins with morning yoga, meditation, and breathwork, followed by breakfast and a preparation circle. Guests then have free time for journaling or a nature walk and a light lunch. In the afternoon, the psilocybin ceremony takes place. The evening includes dinner, reflection, and integration practices such as art therapy, time in nature, or relaxing by a fire in the garden room.

Day 3: A bodywork programme of yoga, meditation, and breathwork is followed by integration with the psychotherapist and facilitators, including 1:1 support. After an early brunch, the retreat closes with a circle and mandala creation. Departure is around 12.30pm, with drop-off near Amsterdam Central Train Station before 2pm or at the airport on request.

Please note that application requires a full screening form, followed by a €1,000 deposit to secure your place. A consultation call with a psychotherapist will then be arranged to confirm suitability.

The retreat takes place about one hour from Amsterdam in a beautiful 19th-century Dutch abbey. Every participant has a private room, while spacious common areas offer room to journal, rest, and reflect. The peaceful surroundings provide plenty of opportunities for nature walks, and the chapel is available for private meditation and reflection.
