About this retreat

Coming Home - Coming home to yourself, your own truth, desires and inner compass. Perhaps you feel that something in your life needs to change, but you are not quite sure what, or how to move forward. - You don't need to arrive with all the answers. This private three-day psilocybin-assisted retreat gives you the time, space and personal guidance to slow down, listen more deeply and explore what is asking for your attention. - The intention is not to become someone different. It is to feel more at home in your own life: clearer about what you feel and want, more connected to what matters to you, and able to hear your own inner compass beneath stress, expectations, distractions and old patterns. - Your Intention, Your Journey Your intention becomes the guiding thread throughout the retreat. Rather than following a rigid program, we bring preparation, the psilocybin journey, coaching, bodywork, self-inquiry and integration together as **one integrated process**, all supporting the same intention. You are guided throughout, while still having the freedom to let your experience unfold naturally. - Beyond Understanding Sometimes we understand our patterns and still find ourselves living them. Our approach works with both body and mind; becoming aware of subconscious patterns, feeling, releasing and analyzing. Psilocybin can open access to deeper layers of experience, while bodywork helps you notice what is held in the body. Coaching and guided Self-Inquiry help you understand what emerges and explore how it connects to your life. Together, these approaches can turn intellectual insight into something you can actually feel and experience. - A Private, Supported Space Your retreat is completely private, with one-on-one guidance throughout. There is no pressure to have a particular kind of experience, and you are never expected to navigate difficult moments alone. Between sessions, there is plenty of time to rest in your private cabin, explore the surrounding nature or simply be. - One Journey. Lasting Change. The retreat includes one carefully prepared and supported psilocybin journey, followed by dedicated time for reflection and integration. The journey is not viewed as a standalone experience. We work with what you discover and explore how to bring it into everyday life in a way that supports sustainable change. After the retreat, you receive a personal Progress & Integration Report and an online integration session. Longer support for integration is available. If this resonates with you, feel free to contact us. We can plan an introduction video call to meet each other and explore whether it's a good match.

Why this retreat

— Completely private. Deeply personal. Just you, with dedicated attention throughout the retreat. Your intentions, experiences and what unfolds along the way shape the process, allowing you to slow down, open up and explore at your own pace. — One journey, fully supported The psilocybin journey is part of a carefully held process, with preparation beforehand and dedicated integration afterwards. The surrounding time gives you space to explore what emerges rather than rushing from one experience to the next. — Rooted in human experience Our approach is built around three movements: Witness. Feel. Listen. Witness creates space to observe your thoughts, emotions, patterns and identity from a wider perspective, opening space for greater freedom and new possibilities. Feel brings awareness into the body, allowing sensations, emotions and impulses to be experienced, unwound and released creating room for deeper self-connection and new insights. Listen helps you recognize what feels true beneath the noise. Over time, this becomes an internal compass, helping you trust your own direction and make new choices. — Guided by people who have walked the path Sebastiaan and Anaïs bring professional training, years of experience and their own lived paths of challenge, healing and transformation to the work. Our approach is trauma-informed, grounded and deeply personal. We stay close to your experience, respect your boundaries and adapt our guidance to what emerges. — A place to breathe Set in the mountains of Costa Rica, your private space gives you room to rest, reflect, walk in nature and simply be. Nothing needs to be rushed. — Care that continues Your Progress & Integration Report captures what emerged during your retreat and translates it into practical next steps. Two online integration sessions support you as you bring the experience home. — Private. Intentional. Rooted.

Her own journey through challenges, healing and transformation has given her a heartfelt understanding of the human experience. “I’ve experienced moments of darkness, pain and challenges in my life, both in body and soul. Through this journey, I discovered that within me there has always existed a greater strength: the ability to heal, transform and begin again with love. Today I know that every fall taught me to rise with more light. I hope to remind others that this same strength exists within them, and that no difficulty is greater than the essence of who they truly are.” Anaïs guides creative integration exercises and prepares the nourishing meals during the retreat.
