A 7 day Training Retreat for Therapeutic Professionals
An immersive 7-day professional retreat
We invite therapeutic professionals (psychologists, coaches, counsellors, first-responder mental-health professionals, and related fields) to register interest in a 7-day, all-inclusive experiential training retreat focused on the foundations of responsible psychedelic trip guiding.
This program is not a certification and not a medical training.
It is an experiential introduction to the core dimensions of psychedelic facilitation — grounded in direct experience, ethical discernment, and embodied practice.
Participants join a small cohort of peers and work closely with experienced facilitators who have guided hundreds of legal psilocybin truffle sessions in the Netherlands.
Who this is for
This introduction retreat may be suitable if you:
- Work professionally with people in psychological or high-stress contexts
- Are curious about psychedelic facilitation
- Have experience with self-reflection, meditation, therapy, or personal development
- Are willing to explore both personal process and professional responsibility
This program is not for recreational use, shortcuts to facilitation, or people seeking guarantees.
What you will explore
This retreat offers an integrated introduction to the multiple layers of psychedelic guide work, including:
- The inner stance of the guide: presence, neutrality, humility, and emotional regulation
- Preparation principles: intention setting, expectation management, and readiness assessment
- Screening & safety awareness: red flags, resilience, boundaries, and responsibility
- Holding space in altered states: non-directive support, distress tolerance, and grounding
- Navigating challenging experiences without interpretation or interference
- Integration fundamentals: helping translate insight into lived change
- Working within legal, non-medical, and spiritual frameworks
- Ethical limits of the role: knowing what not to do as a guide
- Learn more about psychedelic compounds, effects and integration
The training emphasizes discernment over technique, and depth over performance.
Qualities we cultivate
This program is designed for professionals willing to cultivate:
- Emotional presence and nervous-system regulation
- Non-judgemental awareness and restraint
- The ability to tolerate uncertainty and intensity
- Clear boundaries and respect for autonomy
- Humility in the face of altered states
- Capacity to stay with discomfort — yours and others’
- Responsibility, confidentiality, and ethical maturity
This work is not about fixing or directing others, but about learning how to remain present while profound processes unfold.
