InwardBound March 2020 Group Retreat
With Rob Ó Cobhthaigh, Caroline McMullen, Dr. Darragh Stewart Phd, Aoife Howe and Nicky Halliday
March 13 - 17, 2020
5-Day Psychedelic Retreat
Our March 2020 retreat takes place in a beautiful quiet rural location in the north of the Netherlands. The retreat centre is a spacious but cosy traditional farm house with beautiful views all around. The venue is surrounded by mature trees, canals and farmland and is close to the North Sea. Amenities include sauna, hot tub and large open fireplace.
The spring retreat will be intimate, group-oriented and will faithfully contain the healing process. During the 5-day retreat we will have 2 sessions with psilocybin truffles, complemented by a range of activities and therapies designed to maximise your experience and affect lasting change in your life.
This forms the focal point of our Psychedelic Retreat Programme.
