Deep Transformation
through Expanded States
What is Conscious Growth?
Imagine stepping away from your daily routine to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. Our psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands provide a unique space for you to explore your inner self, find clarity and connect with a community of like-minded people in a safe and legal setting. Guided by experienced facilitators, we offer a safe and nurturing environment where you can unlock new dimensions of consciousness and personal development.
Our psychedelic retreats offer an innovative combination of somatic practices and group activities designed to facilitate a transformative experience. We guide you through every stage of your journey – preparing you beforehand, supporting you during the process, and offering continued support afterwards. Our unique approach helps you acquire valuable insights, develop profound connections, and return to your daily life with a revitalised sense of purpose and clarity.
Join us for an enriching experience of personal development and transformation.

Our psilocybin retreats take place over 3 or 4 days, typically across a weekend. We host them in a selection of peaceful locations, all within a 2 to 3-hour train ride from Amsterdam.
Each retreat venue is carefully chosen for its tranquillity, privacy and close connection to nature – whether through gardens, surrounding forests, or both. We want you to feel truly at ease during your stay, so we prioritise comfortable, welcoming spaces with thoughtful, calming décor.
Accommodation is shared in spacious rooms with 2 to 4 beds, offering plenty of room for personal rest and reflection. There are also some free parking spaces on site.
Throughout your retreat, we provide nourishing, healthy vegetarian meals (with vegan option) to support you physically and emotionally during the experience. If you have special dietary restrictions, please check with us beforehand to see whether we can cater for that.

Co-founders & Lead facilitators
We are Joan Sirera and Michael Conti. Both of us are psychotherapists specialised in working with expanded states of consciousness, trauma and somatic sexuality from a holistic perspective. Joan comes from the Gestalt psychotherapy approach and has extensive experience in working with therapeutic dream work, meditation techniques and creative exploration. Michael is trained in the integrative psychotherapy approach as well as EMDR therapy and clinical supervision. Both of us have been on a lifelong journey of personal growth and quest for meaning and want to create opportunities for others to experience deep transformative personal growth through the use of psychedelics.
