Coming Back Home
Psilocybin Retreat in the Netherlands
Coming Back Home is an intimate retreat journey combining therapeutic support, body-oriented psychotherapy, IFS, breathwork and a guided psilocybin truffle ceremony.
Held at De Tinusboom in the Netherlands, this experience includes preparation, a three-day residential retreat and ongoing integration support.
An Invitation to Return to Yourself
Sometimes, beneath the demands of everyday life, there is a quieter part of us asking for space, attention and understanding. You may be moving through a transition, exploring familiar emotional patterns or simply feeling ready to listen to yourself in a different way.
Coming Back Home offers a supported space to pause, explore your inner world and reflect on what feels meaningful to you. There is no particular outcome you need to achieve. The invitation is to approach your experience with curiosity, compassion and care.

What Makes Coming Back Home Different?
Meaningful transformation happens when insight is supported by safety, connection, and integration.
Intimate Group Experience
With a maximum of six participants, the retreat offers a small-group setting where each person’s experience can be approached with care and respect.
You are welcome to engage at your own pace, with space for personal reflection as well as connection with others.
Therapeutic & Embodied Approach
The retreat draws on Body-Oriented Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), breathwork and somatic practices.
These approaches offer different ways to explore emotions, inner patterns and bodily awareness within a supported setting.
A Six-Week Therapeutic Journey
The work extends beyond the residential retreat.
Preparation helps you approach the experience thoughtfully, while individual and group integration sessions provide opportunities to reflect on what emerges and consider how it relates to everyday life.
Space to Listen to Yourself
You do not need to arrive with all the answers or a perfectly defined intention.
The journey offers space to become curious about what matters to you, while respecting your individual needs, boundaries and circumstances.

Your Journey
Preparation, Retreat, Integration
Meaningful transformation doesn’t happen in a single moment. This retreat is held within a six-week therapeutic container, giving you time to prepare intentionally, experience the retreat fully, and begin integrating what emerges into everyday life.
Before The Retreat
The journey begins before you arrive. Through the application process, preparation materials and an individual session, we explore what brings you here, what you hope to understand and what support may be helpful.
This is also a time to discuss your questions, expectations and relevant health considerations before participation is confirmed.
Day 1: Arriving & Connecting
We begin by settling into the space, sharing a nourishing meal, and gathering in our opening circle. Creating the foundations of safety, trust, and connection that will support the days ahead. Through movement, breathwork, and group practices, we begin listening more deeply to ourselves.
Day 2: Journeying
Held within a safe and carefully supported container, the legal psilocybin truffle ceremony invites a deep exploration of your inner world.
Day 3: Integrating & Returning
As the residential retreat comes to a close, we create space for reflection, sharing and creative practices. The intention is to begin exploring what you want to take with you into everyday life, without needing to make sense of everything immediately.
After the retreat, Continuing the Journey
One week after the retreat, we gather for a facilitated online integration circle. You will also have a one-hour individual integration session, with additional individual sessions available if desired.
Integration can be a gradual process. The aim is to give you space to reflect, ask questions and explore what feels relevant to your life beyond the retreat.
The six-week container gives you space to move from experience toward integration, at your own pace and in connection with the support around you.
The Space That Will Hold Us

Is Coming Back Home Right for You?
You may feel drawn to this retreat because you want to explore yourself more deeply, reflect on familiar patterns or create space during a period of change.
You do not need to have previous psychedelic experience or arrive with a specific intention. However, previous experience is not a substitute for screening, and participation is not suitable for everyone. Psychedelic experiences can carry psychological and physical risks. Relevant health conditions, psychiatric history and medications need to be considered before participation is confirmed.
The application and screening process helps assess suitability and gives you space to ask questions before making a decision.
If you are unsure, you are welcome to start with a conversation.
