This autumn retreat is inspired by Samhain. During this Celtic New Year festival, people celebrated the transition from the summer period to the beginning of winter. An important element was the bonfire.
Samhain is a Celtic New Year festival. For the Celts, everything started from darkness. They made their days begin after sunset. Winter began for them with Samhain, also the beginning of a new year.
According to the various myths, on this night the worlds of the gods and of material existence came closest together, so a transition between the two was then easily possible.
During the evening/night we will make the journey instead of during the day. The effect of an evening/night journey is intense. This is because your brain is closer to the dream phase due to the natural day-night rhythm. This allows you to enter more easily and deeply into your subconscious state; where you can get closer to your true nature and find inner peace.
In autumn, we reflect on summer; harvest and preserve what is important and let go of what is no longer needed. Before winter sets in, a great time to put things in perspective and come to yourself.
We make this journey with a high dose of psilocybin and Caapi, this combination is also called ‘Psilohuasca’.
The program starts on Saturday around 2pm and ends Sunday around 1pm.
Extra Fall Retreat Nov 23-24 – on invitation
You're signing up for a 2-day retreat in Culemborg starting on Saturday 23 November 2024.
Price: Invite only
During this special extra autumn retreat, we will journey on November 23rd and pay attention to Samhain, a Celtic New Year festival. According to myths, on this night the worlds of the gods and of material existence are closest together, so a transition between the two was easily possible.
This retreat is facilitated by Eric & Marieke.
They have designed this program to give you the peace and space to learn and get to know yourself better, surrounded by nature with comfort and use of wellness.
In the Netherlands, it is legal to purchase and consume psilocybin in the form of ‘magic truffles’. Truffles are a different part of the mushroom, known as sclerotia, which remain dormant and help the mushroom regrow after damage. Magic mushrooms, in contrast, are illegal.
Psilocybin is completely safe when used responsibly in a safe environment with people you know and trust. It is a naturally occurring substance that is converted by the body into psilocin, which acts on the serotonin receptors in the brain. Psilocybin is not addictive and there are no known reports of overdoses.
Psilocybin is not an addictive substance. You may enjoy and get a lot out of the experience, but you’re not likely to become physically dependent on psilocybin.
The age limit of 25 years is installed because the brain is still growing and developing up to that age. Important contra-indications as some disorders are found almost always before the age of 25 (but not always before 20). We must take this contra-indication very seriously because of the immense consequences when things go wrong. And as a young adolescent you rather not come in contact with a very high dose of psilocybin, like participants use in our Retreats.
If you are taking medication, consult your doctor before taking any further steps. Before you sign up for a retreat, please let us know what type of medication you are taking. We can also consult our medical expert to help you gain clarity.

Reconnect with my emotions

Connecting to my inner world

Connecting to my inner self
"In a beautiful place, where I felt safe and comfortable, I got the opportunity to connect to my inner self in a very special journey. Throughout the journey and the aftermath I was be able to give attention to feelings and thoughts that in daily life I easily ignore. This experience created awareness of my soul and peacefulness within myself."
Hester
The Netherlands
An overwhelming gratitude
"I arrived with an intention to connect. There was a sense of celebration, too, because my first real psychedelic experience felt like it would be a reward for all the personal development work I have done over the years. When I left that same evening, what I took with me was an appreciation of opposites; overwhelming gratitude for the loving connection to my wife and son; and a sense of my effortless brilliance, coupled with a deep understanding that, whoever I am, I exist only in relationship – it is solely through connection to the people who cross my path and walk alongside me that I am able to shine."
