3-Day Small-Group Psilocybin Retreat with Breathwork & Integration in the Dutch Countryside

The retreat runs for three days and two nights at a location in the peaceful Dutch countryside in Almkerk, North Brabant. Day one is about arriving and slowing down: you connect with the group, take part in a microdose experience and guided breathwork, and begin to explore what you want to get out of the retreat. Day two moves into the heart of the programme, with nature immersion and Psychedelic Breathwork in the morning before a guided full-dose psilocybin truffle ceremony. The experienced facilitation team stays with the group throughout the ceremony, offering personal support within the small-group setting. Day three turns to integration, using cacao, breathwork and inner child work to reflect on what came up, with an optional ice bath as a final embodied experience before the retreat closes.

What separates this from a straightforward ceremony is the structure around it. Instead of treating the truffle ceremony as the whole event, the programme treats microdosing, breathwork, nature immersion, the full-dose ceremony and integration as one connected process. Preparation also begins before you arrive, through an intake process and a Participant Guide, and post-retreat integration support continues afterwards.

The group size is deliberately small, typically around eight participants with approximately one facilitator for every four people. That ratio is what makes personal attention possible while still keeping the shared group experience. Accommodation and meals are included, with private and shared room options, and rooms all have private en-suite bathroom facilities.

Niels van der Valk, founder of Elevated Mind Retreats, guides participants through preparation, ceremony and integration. He is a Certified Breathwork Facilitator, and his own experience with psilocybin during burnout led to the creation of these retreats. Fleur Bekke, a facilitator, leads the Women's Psilocybin Retreats and supports participants through preparation, ceremony and integration. Both the intake and screening process apply before participation is confirmed.
