Psilocybin Retreats in the Netherlands: A Guide for First-Time Visitors

Discover how guided psilocybin experiences in the Netherlands can support reflection, personal insight, and emotional clarity. This article covers travel, retreat structure, dosing options, safety, and what to expect before attending a psychedelic retreat.

Who Can Benefit from a Psilocybin Retreat

Psilocybin retreats are designed for adults seeking self-exploration, creative inspiration, or emotional insight. Participants often wish to reconnect with themselves, slow down from daily stress, and explore personal growth in a guided, supportive setting.

Important: Psilocybin retreats are not a substitute for professional medical or psychiatric care. Full disclosure during the intake process ensures safety for all participants.

Microdosing and Full-Dose Experiences

At Elevated Mind Retreats, psilocybin experiences are intentionally structured to include microdosing as a preparatory portal. Microdosing uses very small amounts that do not produce strong perceptual changes, allowing participants to familiarise themselves with psilocybin, build trust, and approach the full-dose ceremony with confidence.

Full-dose ceremonies are carefully guided for deeper reflection, introspection, and personal insight. Participation is always a personal choice, and each participant can decide whether a low, medium, or high dose feels appropriate, based on readiness, intention, and comfort level.

A thoughtful retreat approach ensures dosage is never one-size-fits-all. Preparation, intention setting, and facilitator guidance are central to a safe and meaningful experience.

Safety, Screening, and Support

Safety is a top priority. Every participant undergoes a personal intake and medical screening, ensuring any medications, conditions, or health considerations are carefully reviewed. Facilitators are trained in first aid and provide one-on-one guidance throughout the retreat.

Structured support includes preparation, guided ceremonies, meditation, breathwork, integration practices, and post-retreat follow-ups, creating a safe and grounded environment for exploration.

Legal Psilocybin Truffles in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, psilocybin truffles are fully legal, while magic mushrooms are prohibited. Retreats work exclusively with these truffles, providing a legal, transparent, and professionally guided setting.

Participants can engage in transformative experiences with peace of mind, knowing all ceremonies are conducted within the country’s legal framework.

Easy Travel Access

The Netherlands is highly accessible for international visitors.

For travellers from London, the Eurostar offers a direct and comfortable train connection to Rotterdam. Domestic rail links then provide easy access to retreat locations across the country. Visitors can also fly to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport or Rotterdam Airport, both well-connected with frequent flights from the UK and beyond.

This combination of train and air travel, along with legally supported psilocybin experiences, makes the Netherlands a convenient destination for those seeking a guided psychedelic retreat.

Multi-Day Retreats for Lasting Impact

Retreats are designed as complete journeys rather than isolated events, with multi-day formats offering the most profound and lasting impact. Choosing a retreat that provides a structured process and additional supportive tools is highly recommended for those seeking meaningful transformation, going beyond simply using plant medicine.

Typical components include:

• Microdose or full-dose psilocybin ceremonies

• Guided meditation and breathwork sessions

• Inner Child and trust exercises

• Heart-opening cacao ceremony

• Reflection, journaling, and sharing circles

• Optional ice bath sessions (for mixed retreats)

• Structured post-retreat integration support

  
  

Each retreat is carefully tailored to personal readiness, intention, and comfort, ensuring a safe, immersive, and transformative experience from start to finish.

Integration and Lasting Impact

The value of a retreat extends beyond the ceremonial experience. Participants engage in integration practices during and after the retreat, including guided exercises, journaling, and optional follow-up sessions. These tools help translate insights into lasting personal growth, clarity, and emotional resilience.
