Psychedelic Retreat for LGBTQIA+ people

Expanded connection

This psychedelic retreat for LGBTQIA+ people is an invitation to step into a different kind of space, one that brings you in deep connection with yourself and others who also identify as LGBTQIA+. It is a chance to explore your inner self, open new pathways of self-understanding and continue your life with renewed energy, authenticity, and purpose.

We offer a safe and nurturing environment and guide you through every stage of your journey – preparing you beforehand, supporting you during the process, and offering continued support afterwards.

Join us for an enriching experience of personal growth and transformation.

Why Join This Psychedelic Retreat for LGBTQIA+ people?

A safe space to be yourself

In our retreat for LGBTQIA+ people, you will be in an environment where your identity is affirmed and respected, allowing you to go deeper into your process without hiding or fear.

Healing in community

Sharing the process with others from the LGBTQIA+ community creates a deeper sense of belonging, with group practices that support authentic, embodied connection.

Deep personal exploration

The combination of a psychedelic journey with meditation, creative and somatic practices allows you to connect deeply with yourself, work through old wounds, and further your personal growth.

Embodied integration

The somatic, movement, breathwork, and creative practices that we suggest help you embody your psychedelic experience and give it shape in a way that allows it to unfold in the best possible way.

Guided support

With careful preparation, skilled facilitation, and integration support, you are accompanied throughout the process, ensuring safety and depth at every step.

Affirmation of diversity

Being with others who reflect the spectrum of queer identities highlights shared humanity while celebrating diversity, enriching your own journey of growth.

Other Participants’ Experiences

It was a safe space, respectful accompaniment, very receptive to our needs. Beautifully facilitated, very integrated. It’s clear that there’s a lot of preparation work behind it and a lot of experience.

RubénNGO director | Spain

The emotional support offered to me was second to none. It allowed me to face difficult emotions and connect with my body in a way I haven’t been able to do with talking therapies. The group was small, supportive and there was no pressure to move at a faster pace than I was comfortable with. A truly transformational experience. Highly recommended.

MarkPensioner | United Kingdom

The experience was deeply transformational for me. I now see my life with more self-compassion and self-affirmation. The facilitators did a marvellous job in preparing and conducting the retreat. They were very thoughtful, caring, supportive and loving. I could not have wished for anything else.

Departure

It is advisable that you arrive a day before the psychedelic retreat so you have time to land internally and be in a calmer space before the experience. We also suggest that you leave a day or two after the retreat, as you would be in an emotionally more open space.

Registration & Payment

Conscious Growth Retreat Program process infographic

We believe in creating more social equality by increasing accessibility to transformative experiences for people with lower incomes. For this purpose, we set aside some places on each retreat for those who are in financial hardship but would benefit from the retreat.

Those paying the supporter price will be contributing to a fund that offers a scholarship to these participants so they can pay less than the regular amount, enabling them to join the retreat.

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.

Price includes full board and lodging, the additional preparation and integration sessions, and taxes. Truffles are not included in the price. 50% deposit is due within 7 days of confirmation of registration and full amount is due 30 days before the retreat.

For cancellation provisions, please refer to the Terms and Conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the retreats?

Our retreat for LGBTQIA+ people spans 4 days, beginning on Thursday afternoon (arrival between 14:00 and 15:00) and concluding after lunch on Sunday. For safety reasons, it is important that you can attend for the entire duration.

How many people will attend the retreat?

Each retreat accommodates a maximum of 12 participants, along with ourselves and support staff. This small group size allows for personalised attention to each participant’s journey.

How many psychedelic journeys will I experience during a retreat?

Our approach prioritises maximising the impact of the psychedelic session during the retreat. The entire retreat is dedicated to preparing you for one psychedelic experience and equipping you with tools and support to get the most out of it.

What kind of support is available during the retreat?

In addition to comprehensive preparation sessions, we provide continuous personal support throughout the retreat where we are available for any conversations and assistance you might need. Post-retreat, our integration support helps you process and apply your experience to daily life. We offer ongoing phone support in the week following the retreat as needed. There is also the option of signing up for additional preparation, integration or psychotherapy sessions.

How can I ensure a transformational experience?

Psychedelics have the potential to induce profound psychological insights and lasting personal changes. However, individual experiences vary based on factors like mindset, setting, dosage and personality. Rather than focusing solely on ensuring a transformational experience, approach the retreat with openness to whatever arises. This mindset allows the psychedelic experience to unfold naturally, potentially leading to subtle yet highly significant personal growth.

How can I get more information before registering?

Start by filling in the application form. We will then get in touch with you to schedule a free information call with one of us.

How much does the retreat cost?

We offer three levels of payment depending on how much you can support us to provide this experience to others who are financially difficult situations. We also offer group and early bird discounts, as well as a couple of places for people with less financial resources. The prices are found on the respective webpage and are adjusted each year.

Do you offer any discounts?

We offer early bird discounts for bookings made more than 2 months in advance, as well as a “bring a friend” rate. Discounts, including concessions made for those receiving a scholarship due to lower income, cannot be combined together. We will always apply the higher discount.

What if you have to cancel the retreat?

If we need to cancel the retreat for any reason, you can choose between a full refund of the amount paid or attending a future retreat at the same price (even if there is a price difference). However, please note that we do not refund any additional expenses you incur. For this reason, we strongly recommend taking out individual cancellation insurance to cover fees for reasons such as illness or transportation issues in case you cannot attend the retreat.
