The Three Phases of Your Journey
Every retreat follows the same three-phase journey, designed to support lasting transformation before, during and after your experience.
Preparation
Complete your health screening and intake before arrival. Preparation guidance helps you arrive informed, grounded and ready for the experience.
Immersion
Guided ceremonies, breathwork and reflection unfold in a calm, supportive environment that encourages presence and personal insight.
Integration
Structured integration support helps you turn insights into practical, lasting change in everyday life.
The Principles Behind Every Retreat
Every retreat is built on the same guiding principles, creating a safe, supportive environment for meaningful transformation.
Breathwork
Breathwork helps regulate the nervous system, creating calm, presence and readiness before the ceremony while supporting integration afterwards.
Psilocybin Ceremonies
Legal Dutch psilocybin truffles are offered within carefully guided ceremonies that prioritise safety, individual support and meaningful reflection.
Ongoing Support
Preparation before the retreat and structured integration afterwards help transform meaningful insights into lasting change.

Why the Netherlands Is a Leading Destination for Psilocybin Retreats
The Netherlands is one of the few countries where legal psilocybin truffles can be used in professionally guided retreat settings.
We operate entirely within this legal framework, allowing participants to take part with clarity, transparency and peace of mind.
Who Facilitates Our Retreats
Elevated Mind Retreats was founded by Niels van der Valk after a career in the corporate sector and extensive training in breathwork facilitation.
Our team includes experienced facilitators trained in breathwork, trauma-informed practices and supportive group facilitation.
Retreats are guided by two facilitators to ensure participants receive attentive support throughout the experience.
Our facilitation style is calm, grounded and attentive to individual needs.
Safety and Care
Participant safety underpins every stage of the retreat experience.
Every participant completes a confidential health screening and personal intake before being approved. Our psilocybin truffles are sourced from licensed Dutch producers and cultivated under controlled conditions.
Retreats are supported by experienced facilitators trained in First Aid, with small groups allowing for attentive personal support throughout the experience. Medical support is accessible nearby should it ever be required.
Those seeking a more contained or one-to-one setting often explore our Private Psilocybin Retreats.
Women seeking a dedicated, female-only group setting often explore our Women’s Psilocybin Retreat.
