Psilocybin Retreats

Our psilocybin retreat programmes are thoughtfully designed for individuals seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or deeper self-discovery. Whether you’re exploring the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin or looking for profound spiritual insight, our retreats offer a safe, supportive environment for transformation.

We offer both private psilocybin retreats and tailored group psilocybin retreats, welcoming participants of all backgrounds — race, gender, and sexuality are not a barrier to participation.

However, our weekend retreat programmess are specifically designed for members of the queer community, ensuring a space of deep understanding and mutual respect.

Our retreats are available to individuals over the age of 21, and all participants will undergo a health screening to ensure their safety and well-being during the journey.

At MAGUEY, safety is our top priority. While psychedelic retreats can offer profound benefits for many, they may not be suitable for everyone. To ensure that this work is aligned with each participant’s needs, all individuals undergo a health screening prior to the retreat.

Our facilitators are certified members of the Guild of Guides Netherlands, adhering to its Code of Conduct and accountable to its framework. This ensures that our psilocybin retreats are conducted with the highest ethical standards and with your wellbeing in mind at all stages of the journey.

"Set and setting" is a foundational concept in the safe and intentional use of psychedelics.

• Set refers to your mindset (bodyset, heartset) going into the experience—your mood, expectations, intentions, and overall mental and emotional state.

• Setting refers to the environment in which the experience takes place—this includes the physical space, the people present, and the overall atmosphere.

Both play a vital role in shaping the direction and quality of a psychedelic journey. A supportive, safe, and calm setting, combined with a grounded and open mindset, can significantly enhance the potential for healing, insight, and transformation. At MAGUEY, great care is taken to prepare and hold both set and setting in ways that support your safety and growth. description

Our private psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands are held in the city of Amsterdam. For our group psilocybin retreats, we offer a variety of scenic and tranquil locations across the Netherlands, carefully selected to enhance your healing and self-discovery experience.

If you have a preferred venue, your guide can also arrange to visit other locations in the Netherlands, ensuring that your psilocybin journey takes place in a setting that best supports your needs.

We offer a comprehensive preparation programme to help you get ready for your psilocybin retreat with confidence and clarity. This includes practical guidance, supportive instruction, and one-to-one coaching tailored to your needs.

You’ll be gently guided through reflective practices, mindfulness and embodiment techniques, and invited into deep inner enquiry—so you can approach your psychedelic journey with intention, grounding, and trust in the process.

After your psilocybin retreat, we provide a full psychedelic integration programme designed to support your ongoing healing and personal growth. This includes practical guidance, supportive instruction, and one-to-one integration coaching tailored to your unique journey.

You’ll also be invited to participate in community-based integration circles, offering a safe and supportive space to continue your reflection. These resources help you integrate psychedelic insights into your daily life in a way that is meaningful, grounded, and sustainable.

Psychedelic integration is the process of making sense of a journey — emotionally, spiritually, and somatically. It's where the insights land and become part of your lived life. Without integration, the experience may remain fragmented. With it, healing deepens and transformation becomes sustainable. description

A psychedelic integration coach offers compassionate guidance before and after your journey. They help you prepare with clarity and intention, and support you afterward in grounding what emerged — whether that’s emotional release, spiritual insight, or personal growth.

Not at all. Whether this is your first encounter with psilocybin or you've had many psychedelic experiences, our facilitators will meet you where you are and offer support that's grounded, respectful, and attuned to your needs.

Yes. We run legal pilocybin retreats in the Netherlands.  We work with psilocybin truffles, which are permitted in the Netherlands and we operate our retreats within the remits of Dutch law.

Psilocybin mushrooms are illegal in the Netherlands, but psilocybin truffles — which contain the same active compound — are legal.

Both come from the same fungal organism and contain psilocybin. Magic truffles are the underground part, known as sclerotia. They are legal in the Netherlands and offer similar effects to mushrooms — deep emotional, spiritual, and psychological exploration.

This is not psychedelic therapy or psychedelic psychotherapy.

What we offer is psychedelic-assisted self-discovery—a path that supports people in their journey from functioning to flourishing. We do not work with individuals diagnosed with complex mental health issues, and we do not diagnose, treat, or offer clinical support.

A trauma-informed psychedelic practitioner is someone who supports individuals through psychedelic experiences with a deep awareness of how trauma impacts the nervous system, behavior, and healing processes. Drawing on trauma-informed principles, they create a safe, respectful, and empowering environment that recognizes the complexities of trauma and prioritizes the client's emotional and psychological wellbeing throughout the entire journey — from preparation through integration.

Trauma-informed psychedelic practitioners understand that healing is non-linear, and that deep transformation arises not just from the medicine, but from how safely the client is held before, during, and after the journey.

No. We work with people from around the world. Integration and preparation sessions are offered online, and in-person ceremonies and retreats are available for those who travel to the Netherlands.

Yes. Many people benefit from support even if they’re not sitting in ceremony with me. I offer standalone preparation and integration sessions for those working independently or with other guides, ensuring you feel supported at every stage.

Safety is foundational. That means clear communication, mutual agreements, and trauma-informed care. Your autonomy, choice, and boundaries are honored at every step — from first contact to final integration.

No, this is not microdosing.

In MAGUEY ceremonies, we work with medium to high doses of psilocybin truffles in a safe, intentional setting designed to support deep transformational healing and expanded states of consciousness.

Microdosing typically involves taking very small, sub-perceptual amounts of a psychedelic substance regularly over time to enhance mood, creativity, or focus—without entering a fully altered state.
