Hilversum and Lage Vuurche, the netherlands
Safe, science-backed psychedelic retreats for profound personal transformation in nature
Beckley Retreats combine the latest scientific research with ancient wisdom to take you on a psychedelic journey from which to emerge a better, happier version of yourself. Your holistic programme pivots on a five-night in-person retreat with two psilocybin ceremonies led by skilled facilitators in a choice of two locations steeped in nature, at Hilversum near Amsterdam and at Lage Vuursche near Utrecht. It includes 10 weeks of virtual pre- and post-retreat support to create a comprehensive experience that promotes personal growth, self-discovery and long-term integration.
our Reviewer sophie benge says:
‘Our 16-strong, multinational group, including business owners, war veterans, a gallerist, chef and NGO boss, first met on two zoom calls, where we shared our intentions as though laying our prayers at the altar of the mushrooms’ magic’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘The use and cultivation of psilocybin is completely legal in The Netherlands, making it one of the safest and most secure places for participants to explore the properties of psilocybin. The team-to-guest ratio is high with a minimum of one facilitator for every four participants, offering plenty of emotional support and a shoulder to cry on if painful, repressed hurt needs release. Participants usually form lasting connections with their retreat group, fostering ongoing support and camaraderie throughout the integration programme’
