Details of this retreat
If you are
curious to explore psychedelic substances, and yet nervous to try them on your own,
you would like to ensure that the work that you do with psychedelics has a lasting impact on your life,
you are stuck in old patterns and want to break out of old habits and
If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to prepare for and to integrate your journey
then we may be a good fit for one another.
Psychedelics are not a silver bullet that will immediately take away all of your issues. They are non-specific amplifiers and what they can offer is an opening and insight into the invisible parts of your subconscious mind. Once the door has been opened, then you will have to take advantage of this by putting in the time and effort to integrate your experiences and transform your life in the ways that you were hoping for.
How much the door to your subconscious is opened depends on a few factors. One critical factor is preparation and mindset another is a safe and compassionately held set setting. I have no interest in offering clients an entertaining trip to an inner Disneyland that has little or no impact on daily life. After all, the yardstick for a successful experience is whether or not it leads to lasting changes in your day-to-day life and this is why it is so important to me that you leave with tools and skills that will support you in the long term.
Each private one-on-one psilocybin truffle journey includes:
A 30-minute intake call and a screening questionnaire to assess if we are a good fit for one another.
One 60-minute online preparation session.
One 60-minute online integration session with the option to take an additional 7-session integration package.
Breathwork to relax your nervous system before the journey.
An inner parts mapping exercise and tips on how to become aware of the different aspects of your ego.
A vegan, organic meal to complete your psilocybin journey.
After a journey with plant medicine, we can feel open, vulnerable, fragile and delicate. I want to ensure that you can just be in that space without having to navigate trains, buses, highway traffic and the outside world. This is why I will come to you rather than having you navigate the outside world in the hours after your journey.
These post-journey moments are so precious and can offer a lot of new insights if there is space for it. On the day of the psychedelic journey, I will come to your home or bed and breakfast, as long as it is in the Netherlands which means that you can just stay on the couch or in your warm bed and allow the medicine to continue offering you its gifts.

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.
