❄️ Transformative Psychedelic Retreat: Transition into Winter
✨ Celebrate the shift from autumn into winter with a transformative journey of reflection, release, and grounding. ✨
This November, we invite you to a profound 24-hour psychedelic retreat designed to honor the late autumn threshold. Together, we’ll step into a safe, supportive space to explore the transformative power of plant medicine for reflection, release, and renewal as the darker months approach.
Guided by experienced facilitators in a serene, nature-filled environment, we will slow down, attune to the rhythms of late autumn, and connect deeply with ourselves, each other, and the natural world as the year winds down and our inner wisdom becomes our guide.
The retreats take place in one of our beautiful nature retreat locations, approximately 45 minutes from Amsterdam.

Meet Your Experienced Guides
Denise – Empathetic Guide & Sacred Space Holder
"Denise is an incredible leader/guide, and I feel so grateful to have experienced this retreat under her care. From the very beginning, she provided deep insight and thoughtful preparation, ensuring that we felt supported before, during, and after the ceremony. Her ability to hold space with empathy and nurturing energy made it so much easier for me to open up, something that doesn’t come naturally to me. Her voice is absolutely beautiful, and during the main ceremony, it was a source of deep comfort and grounding. She has such a pure and radiant soul, and her presence made the retreat feel even more sacred and transformative."
Margot – Wise Leader & Music Curator
"My experience at the retreat was truly transformative, and Margot played a huge role in that. As a fellow entrepreneur, I really appreciated how she could deeply relate to the challenges and experiences of the attendees, which made her guidance feel even more personal and impactful. Margot is incredibly wise and created such a safe, nurturing space where I felt completely comfortable. From the start, I knew she was going to bring amazing music given her background working at Spotify, and she did not disappoint—the soundtrack she curated added such a powerful layer to the journey."
