Private Psilocybin Retreats in the Netherlands
Our private psilocybin retreat programmes offer a one-to-one path for deep healing and transformation. Fully integrated and personalised, our programmes support you through the complete arc of psychedelic work.
❋ The Journey
An intentional programme built around you.
Our private retreat programmes aren’t a single session. They’re a structured, personalised trajectory that moves you through preparation, immersion, and integration. Every element is tailored to your unique emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs.
Preparation & Connection
❋ Phase 1
Meaningful psychedelic work begins well before ceremony. In this phase, we build trust, assess suitability, and lay the foundations for a safe and grounded psilocybin experience. This ensures that, when the time comes, you’re ready to achieve meaningful transformation.
A free discovery call to make sure this is the right choice for you, followed by a thorough preparation session to set intentions and prepare for the retreat. Personalized guidance provided throughout.
Discovery Call
You will be asked to complete health and background information to ensure that working together is safe and appropriate. This process also helps tailor the programme to your specific needs and intentions.
Intake & Screening
You’ll receive a personalised support plan that includes: one-to-one psychedelic coaching, practical preparation guidance, contemplative and embodied practices, ceremony and ritual frameworks, and guidance with intention setting.
Modular Support Programme
Immersion & Ceremony
❋ Phase 2
You will be guided through a private psilocybin ceremony — a full-day experience held in a warm, safe, and intentionally curated space. We work with legal psilocybin truffles within a structure that honours both sacred medicine work and modern standards of psychedelic safety and care.
❋ Ceremony Day
A full day of intentional journeying
Ceremony day is structured to support your experience — from a gentle, grounded opening through to a nourishing, unhurried close. Nothing is rushed. You are held throughout.
The psilocybin immersion itself lasts 4–6 hours, with continuous support from us. At every stage, your safety, comfort, and wellbeing come first.

Aftercare & Integration
❋ Phase 3
The ceremony is only the beginning. Integration is where the real work unfolds. It’s where insight becomes embodied, and experience becomes lasting change. We walk with you through the weeks that follow, offering structured support, practical guidance, and a final session to consolidate what has emerged.

Remote contact and support through the unfolding weeks
Personalised integration plan with contemplative and embodied practices

❋ Client Themes
Who this is for
Private retreats are for people who feel that something in their life is asking for deeper attention, change or renewal. You may be moving through a threshold — a significant life transition, a relationship ending or beginning, a change in identity, work or direction — and sense that you are ready to pause, reflect and listen more deeply to yourself.
Perhaps you have been burned out, stuck, overwhelmed or simply tired of living on autopilot, and are looking for a different way to reconnect with yourself, your body and what really matters. You may be outwardly functioning well while inwardly knowing that something needs to shift. Or perhaps there is no particular problem at all: you simply feel curious, called, or ready to explore your inner world with greater intention.
People come to MAGUEY from many different backgrounds and from all over the world. You might be travelling from the UK, the Netherlands, elsewhere in Europe, or further afield. What brings people together is not a particular age, gender, sexuality, nationality, profession or life story, but a willingness to slow down, become curious, and meet themselves honestly.
This work may speak to you if you are seeking healing, perspective, personal growth, spiritual enquiry, greater self-understanding, or a renewed sense of connection. And if you are not quite sure what you are seeking yet, that is welcome too.
There is no single kind of person this work is “for”. The starting point is simply that you feel something is ready to be explored — and that you would like to do that exploration in a safe, private and carefully held space.
❋ The Space
A warm, quiet loft in Amsterdam
Ceremonies are hosted in Nigel’s home, a loft space in central Amsterdam. It’s a warm, quiet, and deeply nourishing place that is generously shared for this kind of work.
Alternative private venues in the Netherlands can also be considered, provided they meet certain safety and suitability criteria.
If you’re visiting Amsterdam, we’re happy to assist with recommendations for accommodation, wellness services, or complementary treatments to enrich your experience.
❋ Cost
A path that begins with connection
At MAGUEY, we believe that meaningful psychedelic healing begins with genuine connection. That’s why we don’t publicly list the cost of our private psilocybin retreat programmes. As every journey is unique it’s important that we first meet and explore whether this offering truly aligns with your needs.
We do offer a sliding scale investment to help make this work more accessible and inclusive.
If this path feels resonant, you are warmly invited you to book a no-obligation discovery call. It’s a chance for us to connect, for you to ask any questions, and for us to explore the possibilities—together.
Start with a conversation
A free 30-minute discovery call is the simplest first step. No commitment — just an honest conversation about whether MAGUEY is right for you.
