Compassionate Self psychedelic weekend retreats in Almkerk

I attended two Compassionate Self psychedelic weekend retreats in Almkerk, Netherlands, run by Sarah and Nic, in 2023 and 2024.

Both retreats took place in a beautiful spacious old Dutch barn, with a serene garden. The setting was peaceful, safe, full of warmth, natural and very tranquil. Everything was very well organized and the organic vegetarian food was simply amazing.

Sarah and Nic were wonderful caring guides during all stages of my journey and all sessions were well structured, with lots of attention to detail and one's needs.

Overall it was a safe and truly compassionate and fulfilling experience, which has changed my life!

I would recommend Sarah & Nic's retreats 100%!

I feel more connected to myself than ever before
The whole retreat was very well organized and there was plenty of attention for everyone. The food was really good and prepared with a lot of love, taking into account everyone’s specific needs.

During the different sessions I felt well guided so I understood very well what was coming.

The guidance I got from Sarah, Nic and Hilde during my travels was phenomenal. I was truly able to explore my parts and hold space for myself and my parts.Nor only have I become.a better friend to myself, I feel a strong connection with the group that was journeying with me during the weekend.

a place where you belong
The compassion, empathy, relaxation, and the immense ability of Sarah, Nic, and Marica to understand both the needs of the group and of each individual is out of this world. The location is like a fairytale, with healing fairies, and Nic’s skills in blending foods are super yaaamii. One word to describe it: fulfillment! It is a safe and holding space for all that is and all that comes. Thank you!
