Another great experience
I took part in the weekend-long retreat for the second time and it always amazes me what only three days can achieve pertaining myself and the group as a whole. Nic and Sarah, as well as the other facilitators they choose, are wonderful guides to a profound individual experience. I wish so many people could feel the togetherness and the trust that exists within the retreat space and share in the beautiful journey that does not end when the weekend is over. It might not always be a solely "nice" experience but for me it continues to be a motor for personal growth and emphatic developement.

A healing and safe journey home to the self
I attended my second truffle retreat in the Netherlands with Nic and Sarah last weekend and am in total awe of the transformative perspectives it offered me, and the possibilities for change and growth in my life. The retreat itself is set in a gorgeous house in nature. Nic and Sarah prepare a peaceful, spacious and safe container to experience the medicine. They are very grounded compassionate people, and I felt fully supported and understood at every point in the weekend. They prepare you with beautiful organic food, movement sessions, expressive drawing, intention setting, breathwork and by the end of the weekend I genuinely felt positive change in the whole group including myself. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to understand themselves and life more deeply xx

January 2025 Psychedelic Weekend Retreat
I attended the January 2025 Psychedelic Weekend Retreat in the Netherlands with Sarah and Nic, and it was an absolutely incredible five-star experience from start to finish. Having never participated in anything like this before, I felt a little apprehensive at first, especially travelling over from Ireland. But I can honestly say I’m so glad I made the decision to go.

Sarah and Nic are truly wonderful people—genuine, compassionate, and deeply caring. They created such an emotionally safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment, which made the entire experience so comforting and supportive. Before the retreat, they communicated everything so clearly and thoughtfully. We even had a Zoom call to set intentions, during which they offered helpful advice and answered all my questions, which really helped me feel at ease.

The retreat venue was absolutely stunning, fostering a calming, healing, and safe atmosphere. The food, lovingly prepared by Sarah and Nic, was both delicious and nourishing, making every meal a joy. The entire weekend was perfectly structured, with just the right balance of activities to ensure the experience was meaningful and fulfilling.

During the magic psilocybin truffle journey (plant medicine), Sarah and Nic were incredibly supportive. I felt so safe and well cared for throughout the entire process, which made the journey even more profound and transformative.

I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend one of Sarah and Nic’s retreats to anyone considering this path. I also fully intend to return for another retreat in the future, as the healing and benefits I’ve experienced are truly remarkable. This retreat has opened new doors for me and has been a huge help in my trauma-healing journey. I feel so deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to take part in something so special.
