OUR APPROACH TO GUIDED PSILOCYBIN RETREATS

Safe, Legal and Thoughtfully Guided

At Elevated Mind Retreats, our approach to guided psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands prioritises safety, careful preparation, and meaningful integration. All retreats are held within the Dutch legal framework for psilocybin truffles and guided by experienced facilitators in a structured, supportive setting.

โ€‹

We combine legal psilocybin ceremonies with breathwork, meditation, and reflective practices designed to support insight, grounding, and continuity beyond the retreat itself.

How Our Retreats Are Structured

Our retreats are designed to create a calm, contained environment where participants can explore inner experiences without pressure or overwhelm. Structure, clarity, and personal guidance are central to this approach.

The Core of Our Psilocybin Retreats

Our retreats are built around three complementary elements that work together to support depth, stability, and meaningful integration.

โ€‹

This approach is applied across our 3-Day Psilocybin Retreats, including our Women’s Psilocybin Retreat, as well as our more personalised Private Psilocybin Retreats, ensuring consistency regardless of group size or format.

Breathwork

Breathwork supports nervous system regulation, emotional grounding, and a shift from mental analysis into direct experience.

Psilocybin Ceremonies

Our psilocybin ceremonies are held legally in the Netherlands and guided with care, intention, and attention to individual readiness.

Ongoing Support

Preparation before the retreat and integration afterwards ensure insights are understood and carried into daily life.โ€‹

Why the Netherlands

The Netherlands is one of the few countries where psilocybin truffles are legal, allowing retreats to operate transparently within a clear legal framework.

โ€‹

We work entirely within this framework so participants can engage in the retreat process with clarity, legality, and peace of mind.

The Impact of Our Psilocybin Retreats

Participants often describe their retreat as deeply meaningful rather than overwhelming.

โ€‹

Rather than offering escape, our retreats aim to support sustainable change—helping participants return to daily life with greater awareness and balance.

โ€‹

This depth-focused approach is reflected across all formats, including our Women’s Psilocybin Retreat, where safety, presence, and group coherence are central.

The Three-Phases Structure of Our Psilocybin Retreats

This three-phase structure is used across all our 3-Day Psilocybin Retreats and Private Psilocybin Retreats.

Preparation

Before arrival, participants complete a personal intake and health screening and receive guidance on intention setting and preparation. This helps participants arrive informed, grounded, and supported.

Immersion

During the retreat, participants are supported through ceremony, breathwork, rest, and reflection in a calm, contained setting that encourages presence and self-regulation.

Integration

After the retreat, integration support focuses on making sense of the experience and applying insights in practical, sustainable ways. This phase is essential for lasting impact.

Participant experiences and reflections can be found on our Psilocybin Retreat Reviews section.

Responsible Sourcing of Psilocybin Truffles

All psilocybin truffles used during our retreats are sourced from licensed producers in the Netherlands and cultivated under controlled conditions.

โ€‹

Responsible sourcing is an essential part of our retreat approach. It supports transparency around origin and reliability, and forms part of our broader commitment to legality, care, and informed participation. You can learn more about psilocybin and its legal status on our Psilocybin page.

Safety & Care

Participant safety is fundamental to our work and embedded throughout the retreat process.

โ€‹

Psilocybin truffles are sourced from licensed Dutch farms and cultivated under controlled conditions. Medical support is accessible nearby should it ever be required.

โ€‹

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.
