About this Retreat
I always feel like the (psilocybin) truffles found me as much as I found the truffles.
I consider myself to be an explorer at heart, passionately curious about everything the human experience has to offer. With a background in (professional) football and social work, being a psychedelic facilitator was never part of the plan. But fate decided otherwise and curiosity led me to my first psilocybin truffle journey nearly 7 years ago, which proved to be a life changing event. It was an experience that was both filled with irrational emotional releases and a profoundly clear insight into myself. My relationship with psilocybin has helped me become more grounded, compassionate and responsible.
Intuitive qualities such as listening, sensitivity and empathy are what makes me an adequate psychedelic facilitator, able to hold space for the psychedelic journeyer. My intellectual understanding of the emotions and the psyche supports this intuitive intelligence.
A psilocybin induced psychedelic journey is a natural way to directly connect with our intuitive intelligence, but can nonetheless be an experience simultaneously filled with ecstatic euphoria and great anxiety. Through my years of experience supporting 300+ people through their journeys, I’m well attuned to what type of setting is required to enhance healing and transformation.
In my guidance I’m able to follow you wherever you need to be, in order to find relief and healing. The psilocybin acts as a mirror, merely amplifying what’s already there; your innate wholeness.
I feel great gratitude for the acquired insights through the psilocybin intelligence, and approach each session mindfully and with the utmost respect.
The psychedelic brings the journey, I’m there to help guide and support you through it. Are you ready for your journey?

We curate the optimal setting for our participants to journey safely and (re)connect with his/her own intuitive intelligence.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
This quote from Swiss psychologist Carl Jung impeccably summarizes a profound aspect of the human condition; our capacity to be unaware of the deeper forces behind our modes of thought, emotion and action. These unconscious drives underlying our behavior aren’t always guiding us towards health and balance. On the contrary, it more often than not leaves us feeling increasingly isolated and ‘stuck in our ways’. A psilocybin induced psychedelic journey has the potential to help us move beyond our conditioning and increase in self awareness. Seeing things with a renewed perspective could inspire lasting transformation.
A Private Psilocybin Retreat is for anyone looking to:
Experience Connectedness
Find Meaning, Purpose and Gratitude
Expand your Mind and open the Heart
Access and Process Emotional Blockages
If these are the Psychedelic Elements you’re looking for then you’ve found the right facilitator, able to support you on your inner quest.

YOUR FACILITATOR: GREGORY
It was curiosity that called Gregory towards his first Truffle experience over 6 years ago, which led to countless solo journeys, establishing an intimate relationship with the sacred fungi. The truffles and mushrooms have been his greatest teachers, increasingly guiding him towards sharing the space to experience psilocybin in a safe and mindful way. And so he has done, facilitating hundreds of journeys over the last few years. Gregory has an understanding of emotions and psychology, which together with his intuitive qualities (listening & sensitivity) gives him a unique perspective on what’s needed during the Psychedelic Experience. Holding space, providing a grounding presence and a strong intuition gives him the credentials needed to take your Psilocybin experience to the next level.
WHAT IS PSILOCYBIN, AND WHAT ARE MAGIC TRUFFLES?
Psilocybin or its derivative psilocin are both a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in more than 200 species of hallucinogenic mushrooms and truffles all around the world.
For thousands of years psilocybin mushrooms and truffles have been used in religious and shamanic ceremonies in many different cultures around the world. During recent years, a lot of scientific research has been done on psilocybin, the results show great promise of using these psycho-active compounds for managing treatment-resistant forms of depression, anxiety, addiction and PTSD.
A Magic Truffle is very similar to a magic mushroom in it’s mind altering effects, with a bit of a sour tasting nut-like flavor. Both truffles and mushrooms contain the psychoactive element of psilocybin, enabling you access to non-ordinary states of consciousness.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A JOURNEY?
The private psilocybin session stands out through addressing the specific need of each individual. Unlike most retreats our emphasis lies on the intimacy of a private session. Experience taught us that the group setting has its benefits, but oftentimes influences the dynamic of the individual journey.
Preparation and Integration work are both at least as significant as the psilocybin journey itself. Considering the context of our relationship with the sacred fungi, we choose to not refer to our sessions as ‘ceremonies’. We don’t adopt shamanic practices, and therefore you won’t be exposed to any rituals at our sessions. We do however incorporate practices we find helpful, like meditation, fasting, breathing techniques and music, intentionally creating a space suitable for introspection.
A psilocybin journey can be quite challenging, with our deepest fears and pain coming up to the surface during a trip. Moments like these oftentimes prove to be the most healing for the journeyer. An experienced facilitator is able to prepare you for these rougher phases, and support you through them.
We do not subscribe to the notion of “bad trips”. There are occasionally challenging experiences, but more often than not they prove to be the most rewarding of sessions, as well as provide the most relief.
During the journey it's all about the interaction between you and the psilocybin truffles. The facilitator is there to provide you with a physical sense of safety and to receive whatever it is you like to express, whether verbally or emotionally.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A PSILOCYBIN JOURNEY?
Depending on your own preference, we can arrange a day or evening session. Whichever time you choose, we’ll first need to establish some practicalities to make sure we can journey safely.
After your reservation you’ll have to fill in our intake form to exclude any medical risks, after which we’ll have a preparation call to go through your motivation and establish your intentions for the journey.
On the day of journeying we recommend you to fast from solid foods at least four hours before consuming the truffles. The maximum effect of truffles is most achieved on an empty stomach, however drinking water or tea is fine.
On the day of the session, try to minimize the number of external stimuli and create space to reflect on your intention.
We also encourage our participants to refrain from heavy and processed foods at least three days before the session. This lighter diet helps prepare the body and make us more receptive for intuitive insights.
Last but not least, make sure to get enough sleep the night before and avoid any excess stress.
Reflection
Included in our Private Psilocybin session is at least one reflective contact moment post-journey with our facilitator, for reflection, consulting or just a warm conversation. Through offering our support, our intention is to learn and contextualize the insights gathered in the Psilocybin Session.
