About this Retreat
Sebastiaan has been questioning common narratives since childhood, a curiosity that led him into Zen Buddhism, Self-realization, and the exploration of the mind–body connection.
Sebastiaan worked at the Suicide Crisis Line as a volunteer and certified as a Rebalancing® bodywork therapist in the Netherlands,. He has spent over a decade helping people heal trauma and psychosomatic imbalances.
His path has been shaped both by Asian spiritual traditions, Western therapeutic modalities and by learning from Latin American shamans, integrating plant and fungi medicine into his life for more than 20 years.
For the past eight years, Sebastiaan has guided individuals through psilocybin journeys, combining bodywork, therapeutic insight, and spiritual practice with compassion and dedication.
People know him as:
- Down to Earth
- Analytical
- High Sensitivity
- Open Minded
- Empathic
- Exploratory
Life Quote, referring to the need to find out who or what you are, before starting to fix who you are taught you are:
"Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and All else will be added on to You”
Details of this retreat
THIS RETREAT MAY BE FOR YOU IF
You feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected, and want to explore what is holding you back, free yourself from old struggles, and come home to a more authentic way of living.
You may be looking for clarity, healing, a deeper connection with yourself, or simply a new direction for the next chapter of your life.
COMING HOME TO YOURSELF
For three days, you have the space and personal support to step away from everyday life and focus fully on yourself.
We begin with what you want to explore and where you would like to create change. From there, we tailor the retreat around you, combining guided Self Inquiry, Parts Work, meditation, coaching, Rebalancing therapeutic bodywork, time in nature, and one carefully supported psilocybin journey.
Everything has a purpose. We help you explore what is beneath the surface, experience yourself in new ways, and discover what may help you move forward.
A DEEP, PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Your psilocybin journey is held with care and experienced guidance throughout. Sebastiaan is with you during the journey and throughout your retreat, while Anais is present as well, creating a warm and nurturing environment and preparing fresh, nourishing meals.
There is time to talk, reflect, rest, connect with nature, or simply be. You can follow the process at your own pace, knowing that you have our full attention and support.
After the journey, we take time to understand what emerged and connect your experience to your life, your relationships, and the choices ahead.
You receive a personalized Progress and Integration Report and follow up online integration support to help you carry what you discover into everyday life.
THE WITNESS, THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE, THE GUIDE
Our work is grounded in three principles.
The Witness helps you see your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with greater awareness and freedom.
The Human Experience invites you to fully experience what is here, making space for feelings, emotions, vulnerability, joy, and connection.
The Guide helps you listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom and find the direction that feels right for you.
Together, they support a deeper connection with yourself and the freedom to live more authentically.
A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN
Your retreat takes place in a private, comfortable natural setting in Costa Rica, surrounded by nature, fresh air, quiet, and space to yourself.
Anais takes care of the nourishing food and the warmth of the environment. Sebastiaan guides the personal work and psychedelic journey. Both of us are present throughout your retreat, so you are personally supported from arrival through integration.
