About Inwardbound

Mission & Vision

Psychedelic Retreat Programmes

We provide legal psychedelic retreat programmes with a 5 day retreat in the Netherlands as the focal point.
Our programme has a pre-screening and integration process supported by our team of psychotherapists and facilitators.

Evidence-based scientific research shows that psilocybin may improve mental health. Our programmes combine best practice in psychedelic facilitation with the support of facilitation and a range of integration methods.

Our methodology is based on the work of Dr Stan Grof. We provide a safe container for you to maximise your experience with psilocybin in order to access your own inner healer.

Very hard to put into words, but I could just say amazing
For a while, I’ve been looking for something to help me deal with specific traumas that I’ve been holding onto. Someone connected me with Rob a few months ago and told me that he runs retreats in Costa Rica.

After speaking him on the phone, I trust that he was the right person. Him and his team were able to guide me on a journey deep into my soul.

While, the journey could’ve been hard I was able to work through everything. I needed to work through and came out stronger and happier on the other side.

This was definitely a life-changing experience that I’ll take with me forever.

Inwardbound Costa Rica Jan 2025
This is my second set of guided journeys with Rob who this time was accompanied by Cristina Kalyani, his deeply and broadly knowledgeable partner who exudes a similar mature, grounded and safe energy. They are also both talented musicians and a highlight of the ceremony were their live performances. They held supportive space for a powerful inward journey. The modalities explored beyond the medicine (vocal expression, music, asana yoga, movement, breathwork, chakra meditation) beautifully complemented the journey work. Both hosts provided helpful insights into the process and made insightful connections to greater themes and traditions. The setting is tropical paradise. A mountain jungle garden oasis with long distance views over the Pacific, the Whales Tail and down the coast to Osa. The property is teeming with life and vibrating with earth energy. I highly recommend the experience ❤️

A Deep Dive to a Rewarding Experience
My Inward Bound experience was, at times, surprising and even challenging but in all ways illuminating and meaningful. The team of our four facilitators led this amazing process with deep knowledge, experience, creativity, and empathy. In this supportive atmosphere, I connected with myself and the other members of our group in the best possible ways. Beyond that, the comfortable accommodations, beautiful setting, and delicious, wholesome food made the perfect setting for a journey of self-discovery.

A profound, life changing experience in a safe, supportive and loving environment
It was my very first experience both with Inwardbound and with psilocybin. I cannot imagine how could it be better or more transforming than it was. In all aspect – it was perfect!
The venue was great, providing all one needs for a retreat like this: beautiful nature, comfortable room, spacious common spaces, delicious healthy food, etc.
I am forever grateful to the amazing Inwardbound team (Rob, Helena and Kalyani) for creating this safe, loving and supportive ceremonial space that allowed me to have this magical, life changing experience.
What a profound journey!

The Best
Inward Bound is the real deal. Rob, Renee, Darragh and Cristina created a space in time where a diverse group of people with varying intentions and needs opened, shared, sang, danced, laughed, loved and healed together. Delicious food, stunning setting and beautiful people. Go see for yourself. The best retreat I've been on.
