Dr. Darragh Stewart Phd

Dr. Darragh Stewart (PhD) is the co-founder of Inwardbound and one of Ireland’s most experienced psychedelic retreat facilitators. With over 1,000 participants attending Inwardbound retreats, Darragh has personally guided and supported hundreds of individuals through profound inner journeys, earning a reputation as a trusted leader in the field of psychedelic-assisted transformation.

In his early-twenties, Darragh reached a turning point in his life. Due to the death of his grandmother, the ending of a long-term relationship, near-death of his mother and the immense pressure of his University studies, he had a mental breakdown, his dark night of the soul.. He suffered from bouts of depression, anxiety, and a general dissatisfaction with how he was living his life. These problems sent him on a quest to find inner healing, truth, and a new way of being in the world.

During the rest of his twenties, he had a life-changing break-through both mentally and spiritually, with the aid of psychedelic medicines, breathwork, and the power of holistic healing. Having found the power of bodywork for emotional release during this time, he trained in Massage and was awarded his VTCT diploma in Holistic massage therapy.

As a scientist, he is keen to cut through faux spirituality and is interested in bridging the gap between science and spirituality. Having had such a positive journey with Psychedelics he is now passionate about helping others who may also benefit from the emerging science of psychedelics by holding the retreats and collecting scientific data. He has worked with 100’s of people through their psilocybin sessions and supports people’s preparation and integration of their experiences. With his training in Transpersonal therapy, Darragh has a connection to the non-ordinary, mystical and spiritual dimensions of life. Integrating these experiences can create deep, meaningful and lasting change, as was the case for him.

He has also been on trips to India immersing himself in different trauma release modalities such as somatic bodywork, breathwork, embodiment dance practices, and yoga. He is also a keen meditator having sat at the Tushita Meditation center Dharamsala, and the S.N. Goenka Vipassana Center, Bodh Gaya.

Darragh Stewart is also the host of The Inner Insights

Currently, he is passionate about advocating for safe and legal use of psychedelics in Ireland, Magic mushrooms as Ireland’s indigenous plant and psychedelic medicine and helping people with psychedelic integration in ireland and beyond.
