Why InwardBound?

At InwardBound, our interdisciplinary team of psychotherapists, PhD scientists and holistic therapists believe in weaving together the threads of science and spirituality, knowing that the two ways are one. We work in the broad tradition of Dr Stan Grof - creating a safe container for people to access the wisdom of their own inner healer.
We come from a long tradition of psilocybin use in Ireland. Our Celtic ancestors used the wild mushrooms of Northern Europe (Psilocybe Semilanceata) and worked with the patterns of nature for healing and spiritual growth and we continue that land-based ancestral tradition to create a modern context for psilocybin ceremony and reconnection with nature.
We have worked with nearly 1,000 clients in this space since 2018.

My first time experience with Psilocybin
The Inwardbound Team are nothing short of exceptional. The facility is first rate, perfectly situated for such a retreat. The preparation, the ceremonies, and especially the integration classes afterwards were perfectly planned, and created the ideal conditions for the best possible experience for me. They contributed to a fabulous group experience that could not have been better. If you are looking to explore this type of therapy, I highly recommend you consider Inwardbound.

Inward Bound 5 day psilocybin retreat - Netherlands
This was an intense, challenging, moving and tremendously rewarding retreat, with a lot of fun along the way. The programme was thoughtfully structured, with a range of activities such as breathwork, yoga, movement and psychological coaching to complement the psilocybin ceremonies. I've seldom been at an event like this where everything we were invited to do felt so clearly all of a piece.The facilitation from Rob, Renee and Lauretta was amazing. The Zeeveld retreat centre is charming, in beautiful, quiet woodland. Jacob the resident Persian cat sometimes deigns to make an appearance. Overall - it's not for the faint-hearted, or for anyone who isnt seriously into engaging with what's on offer, but for anyone who comes with clear intentions and commitment, there is a profound and perhaps life-changing experience to be had. Highly recommended.

Breakthrough
This is healing. Finally remembering the part of me that was lost and that it has been me that has been denying myself the love that is my nature. This is the best gift I have ever received and it was wrapped and given to me by Rob and his team at Inwardbound.. The medicine was important, but the integration that Rob, Renee and Loretta provided was as key to unlocking my heart. I will literally be forever grateful. Words aren't enough.

Fantastic retreat
It was such a beautiful, tranquil space for journeying with the plants, and I felt so held and supported by the facilitators. I also really enjoyed and appreciated having a day for integration and, as that process carries on, I continually value the importance of it. Such a brilliantly organised retreat, with a highly knowledgeable team - would highly recommend!

life changing
this was a beautiful and life-changing experience that not only gave me peace and understanding
and a sense of flowing into the next part of my life - but also supported by return to an ailing elderly mother and a mad bunch of responsibilities.
I will be forever grateful and also am determined to repeat the journey.
The team are wonderful and go above and beyond to make it feel secure and comfortable.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
