Why Attend a Psychedelic Retreat?
Psychedelic-assisted experiences have been shown to bring profound healing, insight, and personal transformation. Psilocybin, the active ingredient in truffles, has been widely studied for its potential to reduce anxiety, ease depression, process trauma, and reconnect people with meaning and purpose.
While many people experiment with psychedelics recreationally, the deepest benefits often arise when the experience is held in a safe, intentional, and supportive setting. This is what a guided psychedelic retreat in the Netherlands offers:
- A legal, structured environment where psilocybin truffles can be used safely.
- Professional facilitation and therapeutic preparation before the journey.
- Integration support after the retreat to ensure lasting impact.
- The unique healing power of group connection.
Why the Netherlands?
In the Netherlands, psilocybin truffles are legal, making it one of the few countries in Europe where guided psychedelic experiences can take place openly and responsibly. This legal framework allows us to create retreats that are safe, transparent, and grounded in both science and spirituality.
Preparing for the Retreat
A meaningful psychedelic journey begins well before the actual session. Preparation helps your mind, body, and spirit enter the retreat in the best possible state.
Pre-Retreat Therapy Sessions
I offer one-to-one therapy sessions (online or in person) before every retreat. These sessions help you:
- Clarify your intentions for the journey.
- Address fears, questions, or concerns.
- Reduce emotional reactivity connected to past trauma or life events.
- Align your body, mind, and energy system for the psychedelic experience.
Practical Preparation
- Health & Safety: Participants complete a health screening to ensure suitability.
- Diet: We recommend a light, clean diet in the days before. Avoid alcohol, drugs, and excessive caffeine.
- Mindset: Journaling, meditation, and breathwork are encouraged to open your inner space.
- Environment: Bring comfortable clothing and an open, curious attitude.
What to Expect During the Retreat
Every retreat is carefully structured to provide safety, depth, and transformation.
Opening & Group Connection
We begin by building trust within the group. Sharing circles, grounding exercises, and intention setting create a strong foundation for the journey ahead.
The Psilocybin Ceremony
- Guided by me and supported facilitators.
- Psilocybin truffles are administered in a safe, legal setting.
- Music, breathwork, and energy-based techniques help support the process.
- Participants are invited to lie down, wear eye masks, and journey inward.
- Facilitators remain present throughout, offering grounding support when needed.
Integration Sessions During the Retreat
After each ceremony, we gather to share insights, emotions, and experiences. This group reflection helps participants understand and anchor what has surfaced.
Retreat Formats
- 3-Day Retreats: A short but powerful reset, including one main psilocybin ceremony.
- 5-Day Retreats: Deeper immersion, often including two ceremonies, with time for rest, integration, and therapeutic practices.
- 7-Day Retreats: A full transformational journey with multiple ceremonies, group work, and advanced integration.
The Power of Group Healing
While private one-to-one psychedelic sessions are available, retreats offer something unique.
- Shared Experience: Witnessing and supporting others creates a sense of belonging and collective healing.
- Deeper Integration: Group reflections often mirror personal insights and accelerate growth.
- Connection: Many participants form lifelong bonds with others who have walked the same path.
For many, the group dynamic itself becomes as healing as the psilocybin experience.
After the Retreat: Integration
A psychedelic journey can reveal profound insights, but without integration, they may fade. That’s why I provide ongoing integration support after every retreat.
Integration sessions help you:
- Ground your experience into daily life.
- Process emotions or memories that arose.
- Translate insights into practical changes.
- Continue your personal growth with clarity and stability.
Who Can Attend?
Psychedelic retreats may be beneficial for those who:
- Feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from life.
- Carry unresolved trauma or emotional pain.
- Seek clarity, creativity, or spiritual growth.
- Have tried traditional therapy but want to explore deeper healing.
- Are experienced psychonauts looking for a more guided, therapeutic approach.
Please note: Psychedelic retreats are not suitable for everyone. A health screening ensures safety, and those with certain medical or psychiatric conditions may not be able to participate.
My Background as a Facilitator
I am a certified facilitator through Grof Legacy Training (GLT), trained in Holotropic Breathwork and Psychedelic Therapy. My approach combines psychotherapy, trauma healing, energy work, and transpersonal psychology.
I have worked with hundreds of individuals across Europe, supporting them in expanded states of consciousness for healing, insight, and transformation.
My role is to provide a safe container, guide the process with experience and care, and ensure every participant feels supported before, during, and after the retreat.

What Our Clients Says About PAT
A life changing experience!
March 9, 2026
What an experience! Psychedelic Assisted Therapy has truly changed my outlook on life.
For most of my life I had struggled with my mental health. I had tried many forms of therapy CBT, talking therapies, some helped temporarily, some not at all. After a difficult breakup, I reached one of the lowest points I had ever experienced, even finding myself contemplating suicide and planning how it might happen.
That was the moment I realised something had to change.
From the very beginning of our time together, I felt held in such a safe and intentional space through Francesco’s guidance. Whether it was meditation, havening, or simply his presence as a facilitator, there was a deep sense of care and wisdom that made it possible for me to experience something truly profound.
Going into it, I didn’t know what to expect. What Francesco helped me understand is that experiences like this are not just about the medicine itself but that the mind, body, and soul all need preparation. He gently guided me through that process and gave me the tools I could use in my own time to prepare myself. He explained that the experience wouldn’t necessarily give me what I wanted, but what I needed to help move me out of the place I had been stuck in.
Everything was thoughtfully and meticulously planned. From the moment I arrived at the retreat in the Netherlands, I felt welcomed and supported. The sessions in the Netherlands created such a beautiful sense of community, it felt like everyone truly cared about each other and about the space we were sharing.
During the plant medicine journeys, I felt safe knowing I had everything I needed to fully surrender to the experience.
I came across someone else’s story about PAT and plant medicine and their experience with Francesco. Hearing his story and the way he works inspired me to explore it for myself, and I’m so grateful that I did. Though I thought initially the cost was quite high, coming away from the experience I believe it was worth every penny.
What I received from the experience was something I had been searching for for years: purpose and understanding. I was able to see clearly why I had been stuck in those patterns and behaviours that had kept me trapped in suffering.
Just as powerful was the experience of being surrounded by such open-hearted, like-minded, beautiful people. It made me realise how much healing can happen simply through connection. In many ways, that sense of community was the medicine I didn’t even know I needed.
A few months on, I can honestly say the experience has stayed with me. With the support of the medicine and Francesco’s guidance, I’ve been able to build new habits and behaviours that feel positive, grounded, and lasting.
If you are considering this path, my experience with Francesco was one of deep care, integrity, and genuine dedication to helping people heal. I’m incredibly grateful for the space he holds and the work he does.
