About this Retreat
Niels leads transformative State of Mind retreats, where he integrates breathwork, psilocybin, and inner work to guide individuals on personalised journeys of self-discovery. As the visionary behind both State of Mind Retreats and Breath Inspiration, he creates unique experiences for those seeking deeper inner connection.
Niels's path took a defining turn following a personal encounter with burnout. This led him to breathwork and various disciplines, which now shape his entrepreneurial pursuits. A certified breathwork facilitator, Niels conducts monthly breathwork sessions, hosts ice bath events, and has authored a book about his first retreat experience, Men's Weekend.
As a catalyst for change, Niels empowers others to unlock their resilience and overcome obstacles. With a dedication to mindful living, he shares profound insights for those embracing transformative journeys.
''True success isn't measured by external achievements alone but by the depth of connection to oneself and others.'' Niels
Fleur Bekke is a facilitator at Elevated Mind Retreats, where she guides psilocybin ceremonies supported by breathwork and meditation.
Her work is rooted in deep connection—to the Earth, to Sacred Medicines, and to the transformative journeys of others. Fleur's experience includes training with indigenous tribes in the Amazon of Peru, where she participated in a traditional Sacred Plant Medicine Dieta and learned from ancient healing traditions.
Her own path has been one of surrender and inner growth, moving through fear, shadow, and deep healing. From this space, Fleur holds others with clarity and presence, helping them reconnect to their essence. She believes that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but about remembering who we already are.
Fleur holds space with deep reverence for the Sacred. Through her grounded, heart-led guidance, participants are invited to access their own wisdom and explore the transformational potential of the medicine. Trust, presence, and integrity form the foundation of her ongoing practice—shared with those who feel called to the work of Elevated Mind.
