Private 3 and 4 Day Psilocybin Retreats
A deeper immersive journey of self-exploration, healing and transformation
We have guided hundreds of individuals, couples and small private groups through our private immersive retreats over the past 8 years. Our programmes are designed for those who value privacy, confidentiality and a fully bespoke experience, held in their own time and at their own pace.
We will arrange an exploration call with you where we can answer any questions you may have. If you feel a retreat would benefit you, you can then submit a full screening form and deposit to hold your place. A consultation call with a Psychotherapist will then be arranged to ensure full suitability for our retreat.
With over 1,000 participants supported over the past eight years, Inwardbound has become one of Europe’s leading providers of professionally facilitated psilocybin retreats.
Our approach combines modern science, therapeutic best practice and the wisdom of ancient nature-based traditions to create a safe, supportive and deeply transformational experience.
Every retreat is carefully designed to guide you through preparation, ceremony and integration, with experienced facilitators providing expert care every step of the way.
Supported by us and away from the distractions of everyday life, you’ll have the time and space to reconnect with yourself, explore the deeper layers of your inner world, and integrate your insights into meaningful, lasting change.
Once you’re ready, we’ll agree on mutually suitable dates and begin planning your bespoke private retreat in the Netherlands or Costa Rica
You can choose to have a private retreat as a single participant or with people you know.
2026 and 2027 dates now available. To apply for a retreat, please email [email protected].

WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
I have nothing but positive things to say about the Inward Bound team and experience. Having undertaken many similar retreats in the past this one is where I have felt most supported. The focus on integration is hugely beneficial and we were guided through starting this process whilst at the center and continuing on after leaving. The team were a lovely mix of personalities and hugely passionate about what they do. The food was delicious and nutricious. The location and center was calm and peaceful. I would highly recommend Inward Bound. Thank you all.

I attended a private retreat in Amsterdam with Luretta and Renee. It was my first time taking plant medication and experience with Psilocybin. I did not know what to expect. I researched a few options and I am so happy I chose Inwardbound! The level of professionalism, knowledge and experience was beyond my expectations. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. The preparation leading up to the retreat and the support after the retreat was amazing. The facilitated ceremonies were exceptional and both facilitators held the space for an incredible experience. I highly recommend Inwardbound if you are considering a top notch experience and a deep meaningful personal transformation.

From the beginning, safety, welcome and comfort. Just what you would like for a life-changing experience such as this. The retreat centre was a haven of natural beauty and the care given to participants ensured a wonderful, transformative experience. We are all different, and will experience the journey differently, but we all flourish in an environment of expertise, love, care, nurture and attentiveness and Inward Bound supply this, without a doubt. Cannot recommend highly enough. If you're considering this remarkable and transforative journey, these guys will give you everything you need to fly, and watch over you as you return to earth as well!

Weeks after my trip to Costa Rica I am still daily experiencing the positive ripples of my experience with Rob and the Inwardbound team. There is so much rhetoric surrounding psychedelics that insist on the importance of set and setting, and I genuinely feel that Rob and the team cultivated this perfectly. The private villa was beautiful beyond belief, creating a sanctuary of healing and reflection. Our chef (and talented masseuse) prepared some of the most delicious meals I’ve had the privilege of enjoying. I’m still dreaming about the creamy noodle soup bowl we enjoyed on our third day. Local yoga teachers and soundbath healers added to the experience of restoration and wellbeing (thank you, Anto).
Our facilitator, Rob, brought an energy of ease and loving kindness to each of the day’s activities. The ceremony experience was performed with deep reverence and care. Through the challenge of digging deeper into my healing processes, Rob was a steady guide, knowing just when and how to speak, change the music, or to step back and trust the medicine.
It’s not always easy to trust, especially when taking a leap to try something so new and far outside my comfort zone. But Rob earned that trust. A true healer, I believe that my psychedelic experience was profoundly enhanced by the gentle knowing presence of Rob. I felt so held.
The conclusion of the experience was not one of abandonment. The integration process with Inwardbound has been one of continuous support. Through journaling prompts, books, exercises, group calls, and media references I have found myself able to make a lasting impact on my daily life through the insights I gained during my journeys.
Though I feel that I am still wholly entrenched in my journey of integration, I know that one day my path will lead me back to the wondrous experience of plant medicines.
There is no doubt in my mind that I will choose to do that future experience with Rob and the Inwardbound team.
Rob, thank you. The deep peace in my heart honours the deep peace in your heart. 💛J

Words can’t describe this experience. Truly life-changing! From the very first meeting in Amsterdam to the farewell after the retreat - it felt surprisingly deeply familiar. The entire team created an incredibly warm, nurturing and respectful space allowing me to fully surrender and open myself to the experience.
Although I was nervous at first about attending the retreat with complete strangers and sharing such a personal journey, I have to say that this was exactly what made the experience so special. Each and every person influenced my journey in their own unique and beautiful way, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I was especially grateful to experience two ceremonies, as this allowed me to go deeper into my journey.
Also, the food at the retreat was incredible. I have eaten at vegan restaurants that didn’t serve food nearly as delicious. I enjoyed every single meal, without exception.
I am so grateful for this magical experience and often think back to it, the people and what it thought me about myself. I couldn’t recommend it more.

I had such a profound experience of healing and receiving. The venue was out of this world! If you're on the fence, I would say trust and do it! It is SO worth it!

This is a truly 5 star experience from start to finish. It starts with the pre-retreat organizational steps which were well organized and communicated so felt well prepared and informed going in. The retreat itself was amazing in a beautiful place which I didn't want to leave at the end. So much care, love, compassion and understanding from the facilitators Rob, Darragh and Tiziana🙏. The retreat was hugely beneficial. Highly recommended to everyone. Thank you, Inwardbound team❤️

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.

I am incredibly thankful to Rob and his team at Inwardbound. Through their patient and careful guidance I found a fundamental part of me that I had lost. Or more accurately have been denying myself. A profound breakthrough that I could not have discovered by myself. It took the medicine and the incredible integration work they provide for my breakthrough. Thank you guys so much!

I attended Inwardbound not knowing what to expect and with no experience of psychedelic therapy. The beautiful setting and devoted staff made this a hugely positive and affirming experience. The course allowed a balance of group support through exercise,movement,music and talk with emphases on each individuals experience and response around ceremony.While my response to ceremony was somewhat muted overall, the encouragement and care of the therapists has left a lasting feeling of progress and renewal.

Words can’t really capture what the Inwardbound retreat was like. The venue is a perfect spot in the middle of nature. The food was exceptional. There’s an extremely confident and charming cat.
The people are the thing that makes it though. On the retreat you develop this unique relationship with a group of people who were strangers to you the day before. And the facilitators are just so attuned to what is going on- you feel safe and supported in whatever personal journey you go on.

It was my very first experience both with Inwardbound and with psilocybin. I cannot imagine how could it be better or more transforming than it was. In all aspect – it was perfect!
The venue was great, providing all one needs for a retreat like this: beautiful nature, comfortable room, spacious common spaces, delicious healthy food, etc.
I am forever grateful to the amazing Inwardbound team (Rob, Helena and Kalyani) for creating this safe, loving and supportive ceremonial space that allowed me to have this magical, l ife changing experience.

I participated in a 5-day psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands. I had a profound experience under the influence of the mushrooms, but equally important was the presence, advice, support and all the activities offered by the therapists/facilitators. They are amazing people, experienced and professional, passionate about what they do and dedicated to ensuring the best, safest and most inspiring setting. Thanks to them, I believe, I can process and integrate the psilocybin experience in a way most beneficial for my healing and growth. They helped me understand how important it is to work with the body, to take a more holistic approach to healing and lifestyle, and they showed me ways to do it. I am immensely grateful not only for the safety they provided, but also for the joy, music, movement and companionship. I can recommend Inwardbound to anyone wanting to experience psilocybin.

My experience in all was transforming , even life changing. The inwardbound provided the perfect conditions including the caring professionals and personnel, well thought process in total, beautiful location and what not. That all formed a unique container in which I felt safe, and in good professional hands. You and your own quest remain the central part of everything but they sure provide all the resources and support you would expect to need to succeed. My recommendations and good luck !

It's hard to put into words how profound this extraordinary experience was. Several weeks afterwards, I am still processing and unravelling the wonder of it.
The team, headed by Darragh, are such a special combination of truly dedicated and extraordinary people, whose ability to hold space cannot be matched. I really appreciated the equal mix of male and female facilitators - something I hadn't fully grasped the importance of during the experience, but I am so, so grateful for in hindsight.
Truly the best money you will ever spend. The depth of the collective experience and group sharing was profound. I have so much gratitude to everyone who participated, and of course to the plant medicine that knows all 🍄

What to Expect
Preparation Sessions
A meaningful psilocybin experience begins long before the ceremony itself.
You will take part in guided preparation sessions with experienced facilitators and psychotherapists, helping you explore your intentions, understand the process, prepare emotionally and psychologically, and develop practices to support your journey.
You will also receive a 1:1 consultation with one of our psychotherapists to ensure you feel prepared, supported and ready for the experience.
1 or 2 High-dose Psilocybin Sessions
Held in a safe, supportive and carefully prepared environment, your psilocybin session is guided by experienced facilitators who will support you throughout the journey.
The experiences offer an opportunity for deep reflection, emotional processing, expanded perspective and meaningful personal insight.
Our approach combines therapeutic support, ceremonial awareness and respect for the unique nature of each person’s experience.
We work with you to find an appropriate dose of Psilocybin based on your intake, and the 2nd session is an opportunity to tailor the dose further
Integration Support
The days and weeks after a psychedelic experience are where lasting change is created.
You will receive guided integration sessions to help you reflect on your experience, understand your insights and explore how to bring meaningful changes into your everyday life.
Access to our integration workbooks and resources folders.
We also offer ongoing monthly integration sessions for participants who would like continued support.
Holistic Wellbeing Practices
Reconnect with your body and cultivate presence through guided movement, yoga and meditation practices.
These sessions are designed to support nervous system regulation, grounding, awareness and connection throughout the retreat.
Breathwork and Nervous System Reset
Explore the relationship between breath, body and emotional states through guided breathwork and Somatic practices.
Sessions may include approaches such as pranayama, conscious connected breathing and other embodied practices designed to support relaxation, release and deeper awareness.
Nature, Rest and Reconnection
Our retreats take place in beautiful natural surroundings, offering time to slow down, reflect and reconnect.
Enjoy peaceful walks, time outdoors, relaxation spaces and Sauna (depending on venue).
Why Inwardbound?
A trusted, professionally supported approach to psilocybin retreats
Since our founding in 2018, over 100 retreats and 1,000 participants from more than 45 countries have joined Inwardbound retreats. Over this time, we have developed a reputation for creating safe, supportive and deeply transformative environments for psychedelic exploration.
Read our google reviews here
Our mission is to set a new standard for psilocybin retreats by combining modern therapeutic approaches, evidence-informed practices and ancient traditions of working with nature, ceremony and altered states of consciousness.
A psychedelic experience can be profound, but the quality of the container around the experience is what creates the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. This is why our retreats focus not only on the psilocybin experience itself, but on the full journey before, during and after.
Our retreats bring together experienced facilitators, psychotherapists, psychologists and practitioners from different fields to support the whole person, mind, body and spirit.
Both Retreats Include
✓ Full screening and preparation process
✓ Consultation with a psychotherapist
✓ Experienced facilitation and personal support
✓ Private retreat setting
✓ Yoga, meditation, breathwork and embodiment practices
✓ All food and nourishing meals
✓ Integration support after the retreat
At Inwardbound, we believe the most meaningful change comes not only from the psychedelic experience itself, but from the quality of preparation, the safety of the container and the integration that follows.
Choose the retreat that best matches where you are in your journey.
Which Retreat Is Right For You?
Both our 3-day and 4-day private psilocybin retreats are designed to provide a safe, supportive and professionally held environment for personal exploration, growth and transformation.
The difference is the depth of the journey.
3-Day Private Psilocybin Retreat
A powerful introduction to psilocybin work
Our 3-day retreat is designed for those seeking a meaningful and supported introduction to psilocybin in a carefully curated environment.
Over the course of the retreat, you will receive comprehensive preparation, one psilocybin session, therapeutic support and integration practices to help you process your experience and bring your insights into everyday life.
This retreat offers a focused opportunity to step away from your normal routine, reconnect with yourself and explore what is ready to emerge.
Ideal for:
- Those experiencing a supported psilocybin retreat for the first time
- Those looking for a shorter immersive experience
- Those wanting dedicated preparation and integration support around one ceremony
4-Day Private Psilocybin Retreat
Our deeper immersive journey
Our 4-day retreat offers a deeper exploration through two professionally supported psilocybin sessions, allowing more time to settle into the retreat space, work with your intentions and integrate your experiences.
The additional time creates a more spacious container, giving you the opportunity to build trust, go deeper into the process and explore different layers of your inner world. The 2nd session gives you an option to tailor the dose and have a higher dose if needed.
Between sessions, you will have time for reflection, embodiment practices, nature connection and integration, allowing insights to unfold naturally.
Ideal for:
- Those seeking a deeper immersion with psilocybin
- Those who feel called to explore a longer transformational process
- Those who value more time for preparation, reflection and integration
- Those who may have previous psychedelic experience and want a more supported journey
- And opportunity to have a 2nd higher dose session if the first was not adequate

Words can’t describe this experience. Truly life-changing! From the very first meeting in Amsterdam to the farewell after the retreat - it felt surprisingly deeply familiar. The entire team created an incredibly warm, nurturing and respectful space allowing me to fully surrender and open myself to the experience.
Although I was nervous at first about attending the retreat with complete strangers and sharing such a personal journey, I have to say that this was exactly what made the experience so special. Each and every person influenced my journey in their own unique and beautiful way, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I was especially grateful to experience two ceremonies, as this allowed me to go deeper into my journey.
Also, the food at the retreat was incredible. I have eaten at vegan restaurants that didn’t serve food nearly as delicious. I enjoyed every single meal, without exception.
I am so grateful for this magical experience and often think back to it, the people and what it thought me about myself. I couldn’t recommend it more.

I had an amazing experience at Inwardbound. Everything was great, from the pre-retreat preparation to the retreat itself, and I would very highly recommend Inwardbound.

This training was so much more than I expected. I learned everything I came here to learn but didn’t expect the deep connections that were a wonderful byproduct of the way the team put together the training. I am so very grateful.

Wonderful team, idyllic settings, beautifully held ceremonies. So much more than a psilocybin experience. If you're looking to do a retreat or train as a facilitator, I can't recommend Inward Bound enough.

I am so grateful for this experience! Rob and Inward Bound team are phenomenal. As a solo female traveler and new to Inwardbound I felt so safe, so held, and taken care of. I had such a profound experience of healing and receiving. The venue was out of this world! If you're on the fence, I would say trust and do it! It is SO worth it! One of My favorite parts is the people the team and community and connections made and lots of laughter.

This is a truly 5 star experience from start to finish. It starts with the pre-retreat organizational steps which were well organized and communicated so felt well prepared and informed going in. The retreat itself was amazing in a beautiful place which I didn't want to leave at the end. So much care, love, compassion and understanding from the facilitators Rob, Darragh and Tiziana🙏. The retreat was hugely beneficial. Highly recommended to everyone. Thank you, Inwardbound team❤️

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.

I am incredibly thankful to Rob and his team at Inwardbound. Through their patient and careful guidance I found a fundamental part of me that I had lost. Or more accurately have been denying myself. A profound breakthrough that I could not have discovered by myself. It took the medicine and the incredible integration work they provide for my breakthrough. Thank you guys so much!

I attended Inwardbound not knowing what to expect and with no experience of psychedelic therapy. The beautiful setting and devoted staff made this a hugely positive and affirming experience. The course allowed a balance of group support through exercise,movement,music and talk with emphases on each individuals experience and response around ceremony.While my response to ceremony was somewhat muted overall, the encouragement and care of the therapists has left a lasting feeling of progress and renewal.

Words can’t really capture what the Inwardbound retreat was like. The venue is a perfect spot in the middle of nature. The food was exceptional. There’s an extremely confident and charming cat.
The people are the thing that makes it though. On the retreat you develop this unique relationship with a group of people who were strangers to you the day before. And the facilitators are just so attuned to what is going on- you feel safe and supported in whatever personal journey you go on.

It was my very first experience both with Inwardbound and with psilocybin. I cannot imagine how could it be better or more transforming than it was. In all aspect – it was perfect!
The venue was great, providing all one needs for a retreat like this: beautiful nature, comfortable room, spacious common spaces, delicious healthy food, etc.
I am forever grateful to the amazing Inwardbound team (Rob, Helena and Kalyani) for creating this safe, loving and supportive ceremonial space that allowed me to have this magical, l ife changing experience.
What a profound journey!

I participated in a 5-day psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands. I had a profound experience under the influence of the mushrooms, but equally important was the presence, advice, support and all the activities offered by the therapists/facilitators. They are amazing people, experienced and professional, passionate about what they do and dedicated to ensuring the best, safest and most inspiring setting. Thanks to them, I believe, I can process and integrate the psilocybin experience in a way most beneficial for my healing and growth. They helped me understand how important it is to work with the body, to take a more holistic approach to healing and lifestyle, and they showed me ways to do it. I am immensely grateful not only for the safety they provided, but also for the joy, music, movement and companionship. I can recommend Inwardbound to anyone wanting to experience psilocybin.

My experience in all was transforming , even life changing. The inwardbound provided the perfect conditions including the caring professionals and personnel, well thought process in total, beautiful location and what not. That all formed a unique container in which I felt safe, and in good professional hands. You and your own quest remain the central part of everything but they sure provide all the resources and support you would expect to need to succeed. My recommendations and good luck !

It's hard to put into words how profound this extraordinary experience was. Several weeks afterwards, I am still processing and unravelling the wonder of it.
The team, headed by Darragh, are such a special combination of truly dedicated and extraordinary people, whose ability to hold space cannot be matched. I really appreciated the equal mix of male and female facilitators - something I hadn't fully grasped the importance of during the experience, but I am so, so grateful for in hindsight.
Truly the best money you will ever spend. The depth of the collective experience and group sharing was profound. I have so much gratitude to everyone who participated, and of course to the plant medicine that knows all 🍄
