Premium Retreat Program [ENG]

Set and Setting

In our work, we have learned the importance of the participants' inner state (set) and context (setting) to create conditions for long-term meaningful change. Therefore we emphasize preparation, not only at the individual level but also at the group level. Throughout the program, the group becomes an important part of the setting for the individual and creates a sense of security and trust that is central to the transformative potential of the experience. The location of the retreat itself is carefully chosen and perfectly designed for this type of work.

Music is a crucial aspect of supporting the process, which has become clear both in traditional ceremonial work and in scientific research. We have developed our own musical narrative with elements of live music and silence, as well as selected pieces from an excellent sound system. No predetermined playlist — each track is chosen based on what's going on in the room.

The Program

Health declaration and screening

After registration and deposit you will receive a health declaration form and we'll schedule an initial screening interview.

Individual preparatory session

After completed screening there is a individual session with one of the facilitators for the program, to establish report, discuss intention, and answer any questions from participants.

Introduction (2 hours)

The group process is initiated with an introduction meeting roughly two weeks before the retreat.

Preparatory Workshop (3 hours)

About one week before the retreat we'll do a preparatory online workshop, designed to increase the sense of safety within the group and improving the conditions for integration of the experience.

Retreat in the Netherlands

Retreat including full board during five days with two psychedelic truffle sessions.

Integration Workshop (3 hours)

This workshop includes group discussions and exercises to facilitate integration and support change.

Closing Session (2 hours)

We close the program by summarizing the process, setting intentions, and saying goodbye.

Further follow-up and integration‍

Our program is not intended as a quick fix, but as a first step in a long process of personal development. We offer both the opportunity for individual follow-up, and access to a community with activities helpful for further integration. All participants are invited to join our integration retreats (in Swedish).
