Private Psilocybin Retreats
A deeper immersive journey of self-exploration, healing and transformation
Hosted in The Netherlands and Costa Rica
2026 and 2027 dates now available; contact [email protected] to book dates that suit you or your group.
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.
With over 1,000 participants welcomed through our retreats over the past 8 years, Inwardbound has become one of Europe’s leading providers of professionally supported psilocybin retreats.
Our work is rooted in both modern Science, therapeutic approaches and ancient land-based traditions. Ireland has a long relationship with the natural world, with our Celtic ancestors working closely with the seasons and cycles of nature.
We honour this connection while creating a modern, safe and professionally held context for psilocybin work, combining therapeutic preparation, intention, nature connection and deep integration.
We curate every element of the retreat experience to create a safe, supportive and intentional environment where you can step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with yourself and explore the deeper layers of your inner world.
With the guidance of experienced facilitators and therapeutic support, you will be held throughout the entire journey, from preparation through ceremony and into integration.
The additional time allows space to settle into the retreat environment, build trust with your support team, work more deeply with your intentions and integrate the insights that emerge between and after each psilocybin session.
Our approach combines modern therapeutic frameworks, embodiment practices, nature connection and ceremonial awareness to support meaningful personal growth and lasting change.
We have a range of private retreats in the Netherlands or Costa Rica for you to choose from.
You can choose to have a private retreat as a single participant or with people you know.
Please choose a private retreat from the list below.

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).

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.

What is better a private psychedelic retreat or the group psychedelic retreat?
This depends on your circumstances. The private retreat is bespoke and tailored to your needs. You have the full attention, care, and presence of 2 facilitators. The private retreat gives you full privacy, space, and time to reflect and connect to yourself. We do not find extra participants if the retreat is a private retreat. A private retreat is unique to you and anyone you book in with.
The group retreat can be a beautiful experience connecting with other like-minded people who are on a similar journey to you. Great connections can form with sharing of insights, wisdom, and knowledge. There is lots of insight in the group sharing circles.

It is not essential but we do suggest taking off as much time as you can to allow you to reflect
How many facilitators are there?
We have 1 male and 1 female on all our private retreats.
Are the retreats private?
We are used to working with clients who value their privacy. Privacy and discretion assured.
I am am female client and would like two female facilitators, is this an option?
Yes, of course. We can tailor our retreats as required.
Both Retreats Include

✓ Consultation with a psychotherapist
✓ Experienced facilitation and personal support
✓ Private retreat setting

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

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.

- Those looking for a shorter immersive experience
- Those wanting dedicated preparation and integration support around one ceremony
4-Day Private Psilocybin Retreat

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
