7-Day Residential Psilocybin Group Retreat

21st – 27th September 2025 | New Eden, Netherlands

A Sacred Journey into Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness

Our first open GLT Nordic Psychedelic Retreat is taking place in the Netherlands, a legal and highly held container for deep healing and transformation.

This is an invitation to journey inward – into the vast depths of your own psyche, spirit, and being – guided by the Grof lineage of psychedelic therapy.

In this intimate 7-day retreat, each participant will experience two psilocybin sessions, supported at all times by a sitter and an experienced facilitation team. The retreat includes comprehensive integration processes, both during and after the experience, ensuring that your insights become meaningful change.

The Grof Legacy Approach

This retreat is rooted in the pioneering work of Dr. Stanislav Grof, one of the world’s foremost researchers into psychedelic therapy and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

A hallmark of the Grof approach is the sitter–experiencer model, where participants work in pairs.

On two days, you will journey with psilocybin as an experiencer, held by a dedicated sitter and a team of facilitators. On two other days, you will hold space for someone else’s journey.

This reciprocal process creates profound connection, safety, and reverence—enriching both the giver and the receiver.

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is designed for those with a sincere intention for healing, insight, or spiritual growth. Whether you are new to psychedelics or already experienced, the Grof framework offers a powerful and contained space for profound transformation.

All participants undergo a comprehensive medical and psychological screening.

This retreat is not suitable for individuals with certain psychiatric diagnoses or those taking contraindicated medications.

Safety and integrity are central to our work.

Integration as a core practice

The real journey begins after the ceremony.

Psychedelic experiences can offer profound insights, emotional breakthroughs, and deep healing — but without integration, those powerful moments risk fading into memory. At our retreats, we emphasize integration because it’s where true lasting transformation happens.

Integration is woven throughout the retreat and continues beyond the 7 days we spend together.

We offer daily integration circles during the retreat, a full day dedicated to integration (Day 6), one post-retreat online group integration session, and a private Whatsapp or Telegram group for continued connection.

Extra personalized 1:1 sessions will be available at an additional cost for those who want to delve deeper or get extra support outside of the group setting.
