Other participants' experience

“I could not have imagined a more professional, thoughtful, and safe experience. Michael, Joan, and Jackie were all thoughtful and attentive and made me feel like I was completely safe and without judgement. There was extreme care leading up to the experience, thoughtful activities with the other participants, safety during the journey, and post integration care. This was the most profound spiritual experience I have had in my life and I felt a deep sense of connection to myself and am grateful for this program and all the effort and care that was put into its facilitation.”
_ Kelly - Accountant, Germany_

“Under the excellent and empathic guidance of Michael and Joan, the retreat changed me on a deep level. The openness of the experience allowed me to integrate my fears and self-doubt, and the change has stayed with me. Highly recommended!”
_ John – Researcher, Denmark_

“This experience helped me gain a deeper awareness of my inner conflicts – making space for insight, reflection and self-development. This was made possible through the incredibly compassionate guidance of the facilitators, whom I’m grateful for gently supporting me throughout my process.”
_ Giulia - Psychologist, Malta_

“A wonderful experience from start to finish. I was very nervous before joining and Joan and Michael helped to inform and reassure me, and the experience was above and beyond anything I was expecting. Joan and Michael are so kind and conscientious, value you as an individual and are constantly on hand to support, both before, during and after. Everything about the experience was fantastic, from the organisation to the activities and the food. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Conscious Growth if you’re looking to make a change in your life.”
_ Sam – Manager, UK_

Its enclosed setting ensures privacy while its new build design and thoughtful decor make it both comfortable and tranquil.

We believe in creating more social equality by increasing accessibility to transformative experiences for people with lower incomes. For this purpose we have set up a fund to offer a scholarship to a couple of participants on each retreat. Anyone paying the supporter price will be contributing to such a fund. If you are in need of a scholarship, please let us know your situation and kindly provide proof of income, or proof of unemployment or student status.

The price includes the retreat with full board and lodging, together with the additional preparation and integration sessions mentioned above. Prices include all taxes. Due to legal reasons, the price does not include the truffles. These cost €30 and need to be paid for separately on site before the retreat starts.

Important information about the use of truffles

The psychedelic truffle retreats we offer in the Netherlands are intended for personal growth, spiritual exploration and educational purposes only. Participation in these retreats involves the consumption of psychedelic truffles, which contain psychoactive substances that can produce profound alterations in consciousness and perception.

Participation in our retreats requires that all participants be in good physical and mental health. By attending, you acknowledge that you are physically fit and have no medical conditions that would preclude your safe participation. This includes, but is not limited to, heart conditions, severe mental illness, or recent surgeries. You must inform us of any pre-existing conditions, medications, or allergies prior to the retreat.

Psychedelic truffles can produce a range of effects, including but not limited to: visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time and space, emotional and psychological shifts, and, in rare cases, anxiety or panic. These effects can be intense and unpredictable. While we provide a safe and supportive environment, we cannot predict or control individual experiences.

The experiences facilitated during our retreats do not constitute psychotherapy or any other form of professional mental health treatment and so are not a substitute for such treatment. Our retreats are not designed to treat, diagnose, or cure any mental health disorders or medical conditions. Any guidance or support provided is for the purpose of enhancing your personal experience and should not be interpreted as professional therapy or counselling. If you are currently undergoing treatment for any mental health issues, it is advisable that you consult with your healthcare provider before participating.

Psychedelic truffles are legal in the Netherlands; however, their use may be restricted or illegal in other jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws if travelling to and from the retreat.
