InwardBound Private Psilocybin Retreats
With Rob Ó Cobhthaigh- Psychotherapist, Dr. Darragh Stewart Phd, Caroline McMullen, Michael Ledden- Psychotherapist and Renee Hendriks
We provide bespoke private legal and safe psychedelic retreat programmes in the Netherlands or in Costa Rica. Our private programme is a 4 days programme supervised by our psychedelic facilitators, and has a pre-screening and integration process supported by our team of facilitators.
Our private retreats are suitable for a single participant or for small groups of 1-4 participants that already know each other.
At InwardBound, our interdisciplinary team of psychotherapists, PhD scientists and holistic therapists believes in weaving together the threads of science and spirituality, knowing that the two ways are one. We work in the broad tradition of Dr Stan Grof – creating a safe container for people to access the wisdom of their own inner healer.
We come from a long tradition of psilocybin use in Ireland. Our Celtic ancestors used the wild mushrooms of Northern Europe (Psilocybe Semilanceata) and worked with the patterns of nature for healing and spiritual growth and we continue that land-based ancestral tradition to create a modern context for psilocybin ceremony and reconnection with nature.
We can arrange suitable dates for you or your group to join two InwardBound facilitators in our Psilocybin retreat centre in the Netherlands. Once you have a date in mind please send us an email to [email protected] to book it in.

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.
This was a wonderful retreat. Beautiful setting, amazing facilitators and delicious food. I'd highly recommend.
This is by far the best experience I’ve could’ve asked for. Amazing facilitators. Amazing location. Amazing peopleAnd don’t forget about the amazing journey They were able to guide us on.Highly recommended for anyone that wants to make a transformation in their life
Fantastic and life affirming experience beautifully curated over months by the inbound team. Thank you!
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 🍄
