🍄Psychedelic Day Retreat 🍄New Years Edition

Over dit evenement

Looking for an experience to help you reflect on 2025 and kickstart your new year? What better way than with a guided psychedelic experience.

This day retreat will support you in connecting with yourself, developing your ability to ride the storms, and grounding again in your own strength and resilience for the new year.

Psychedelics have a long history of supporting changemakers, travellers, and seekers. They were crucial allies in counter-cultural and spiritual movements of the 1960s and 70s and instrumental in the creation of activist groups like Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion. They inspire art, challenge paradigms (subjective and institutional), and open inner doorways to insight, healing, and connection. They invite us to process, to remember our most basic nature, and to develop resilience in the tumults of life.

During this retreat, we will:
💪 Develop personal resilience and agency in taking action in times of personal and/or global crisis.
💚 Reconnect with ourselves, trusting that we’re doing enough, that we are inherently enough as beings.
🕊️ Enhance a sense of peace with the external and internal realities of unravelling; using this grounding as a foundation for sustainable personal and collective action.
🌻 Connect with fellow changemakers and seekers in a wholesome, heart-felt way, supporting each other on our journeys. Feeling seen & heard.
🤝 Build bridges to overcome feelings of separateness & scarcity, to start embodying the connected, abundant world we want to see and be a part of.

🌈 You will experience the transformative power of Magic Truffles, together with embodied exercises to set your intentions and evidence-based techniques to help you integrate your journey.

🍄 About Psychedelics 🍄
We will work with the plant medicine of Magic Truffles. These truffles have a consciousness-altering effect based on your mindset and the setting you’re in. All of your senses become more sensitive, often helping you to gain clarity on challenges where you’ve been stuck.

Psychedelics shine a light on our shadow sides and support us in the process of transforming old pain into love and light. They can also increase our creative insights and often trigger inspiration about situations and/or people.

Breakthrough scientific research is proving them to be effective medicines in the proper context - supporting people with addiction, depression, PTSD and other psychological conditions.
Ultimately, the power of truffles lies in their ability to break our patterns and habits so we can go through life lighter, more open and loving.

As your inner world becomes flexible, new connections can arise. These connections can be with your emotions, feelings, intuition, nature, and other people. It reminds us of the essence of our existence - where we come from and who we are at the core.

🌟 The Programme 🌟
We start with breathwork and meditations to support us to release what does not serve us and prepare wise intention questions for our psychedelic journey. Before beginning our travels with the Magic Truffles, we start the evening with a ritual of gratitude and respect.

During the experience, we will stay together in a cosy ceremonial attic guided by specially selected music and supported by the facilitators. We will hold space for the medicine to take you on your own personal journey – helping you experience what you need for healing and transformation.

Dinner will be provided after the journey, along with some live grounding music. We close together around 22:00 and there's an option to stay over for people who really need the extra time to ground

🗺️ Integration 🗺️
Integration is about making your experience count and having real life impacts. This process can take weeks, months or even years. Psychedelic experiences open the door to transformation, but the lasting benefit comes through integration.

We will provide integration exercises and practices for the days after your journey and it's also possible to book a Somatic Integration session with Tom.
