What is an ayahuasca or psilocybin truffle retreat?

We host ayahuasca retreats in Spain & Portugal (private, decriminalized settings) and legal psilocybin truffle retreats in the Netherlands. All programs are trauma-informed, small-group, and integration-focused.

Where are retreats held and why pop-up venues?

We use vetted private locations across Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. Pop-up venues let us match the group’s needs, maintain discretion, and optimize safety while staying compliant (truffles in NL).

How much do retreats cost?

Week-long retreats typically fall in the €3,500–€4,500 range depending on location, format and season. See the Pricing page for current dates, early-bird windows, and alumni options.

What does a typical schedule look like?

Most 5-day programs include arrival/orientation, 2–4 ceremonies (ayahuasca Spain/Portugal or truffles NL), daily sharing circles, optional 1:1 support, and a closing integration circle.

Is medicine use mandatory? Can I attend without drinking?

No—medicine is optional. We also offer breathwork, hypnotherapy, yoga, and somatic tools. Many guests choose fewer ceremonies or none, and still report profound results.

How do you keep retreats safe?

Comprehensive screening (health and medications), sober facilitators, high staff-to-guest ratio, private venues, nearby medical access, diet/medication guidance, and structured integration support.

Who should not attend or needs medical clearance?

Contraindications can include certain heart conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, a history of psychosis, and specific medications (e.g., SSRIs/MAOIs). Each case is reviewed in screening; non-psychedelic options may be recommended.

How many people attend and how many ceremonies are included?

We keep groups intimate—typically 8–12 participants. Programs usually offer 2–4 ceremonies plus integration and optional 1:1 sessions.

How should I prepare? What’s the diet/medication guidance?

We provide a detailed preparation guide covering food, supplements, sleep, mindset, and medication tapering timelines where medically appropriate and supervised.

What support do you offer after the retreat?

Our integration path includes a follow-up call about 2–3 weeks later, monthly group circles, and an alumni community to support long-term change.

Travel logistics: airports, visas, transfers & exact locations?

Closest airports vary by venue (e.g., Lisbon, Faro, Valencia, Málaga, Amsterdam). Exact address and transfer options are provided after booking; we help coordinate shared taxis and timing.

Refunds, rescheduling and payment plans?

See the Terms & Policies page for timelines and fees. Limited payment plans and sliding-scale spots may be available—ask our team during application.

Is a private psychedelic retreat suitable if I have a trauma history or feel very sensitive?

Many guests with trauma histories or high sensitivity choose a private psychedelic retreat because of the quiet environment and focused support. The team screens carefully for psychiatric and medical contraindications and only proceeds if they believe the retreat can be held safely and responsibly. If not, they may suggest a different format, a different medicine or a later time.

Deeply intimate · Fully personalized

A Private Psychedelic Retreat in Portugal for Individuals & Couples

Our private retreats are designed for those who want an exclusive 1:1 psychedelic retreat in Europe or a private plant medicine retreat for couples or friends with full privacy and tailored support. Instead of sharing the space with a group, you or you and your partner receive the undivided attention of an experienced trauma-informed team.

You can work with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (magic mushrooms/truffles), San Pedro and Bufo Alvarius in a safe, carefully screened setting. Whether you are navigating trauma, burnout, grief, a major transition, or a desire for deep spiritual realignment, this container adapts to your nervous system, not the other way around.

Each private retreat is built around you: number of ceremonies, type of medicine, level of intensity, amount of rest, integration time, and whether the focus is individual healing, relational work, or both.

Why choose a private retreat?

Your Process, Without the Noise of a Group

In a private psychedelic retreat, there are no other guests in ceremony. That means:

You are not impacted by other people’s emotional processes or intensity
Facilitators track only your nervous system (or that of you and your partner)
The timing of ceremonies, rest and integration is shaped entirely around your needs
There is more space to go deep, soften, pause or reorient in real time
For couples: your relationship dynamics can be held with clarity, without group projections

If group settings feel overwhelming, or if your themes are highly personal, a private ayahuasca or psilocybin retreat in Portugal may offer the safety, focus and discretion you need.

Safety & trauma-informed care

Screened, Supervised & Nervous-System Aware

All plant medicines—Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, San Pedro and Bufo Alvarius—are offered only after a careful safety assessment, medical screening and psychological profile review. We do not prefer one medicine or another; we simply match the tool to the person and the moment.

We look at your history, current medications, psychiatric background, cardiovascular health and overall stability before confirming your retreat. If at any point we feel a medicine is not appropriate, we will suggest alternatives such as non-medicine work, breathwork or a different plant.

During the retreat, you are guided by facilitators experienced in trauma-informed work, somatic awareness and integration.

Flexible multi-medicine structure

1, 2 or 3 Ceremonies · One Arc

You can choose between 1, 2 or 3 ceremonies, with any combination of Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, San Pedro and, where appropriate, Bufo. For multi-ceremony retreats we often recommend:

2 ceremonies: Ayahuasca → Ayahuasca / Psilocybin / San Pedro
3 ceremonies: Ayahuasca → (Ayahuasca / Psilocybin / Bufo) → San Pedro

These are suggestions, not rules. Your private multi-medicine retreat is co-created together during screening and preparation to respect your system and your intentions.

Below are our standard packages for exclusive private ayahuasca and psilocybin retreats in Europe. All include screening, preparation, ceremonies, on-site integration and one online follow-up call. Pricing is in EUR.

The more ceremonies you choose, the lower the price per ceremony becomes, since preparation and integration are shared. This makes longer private psychedelic retreats more cost-effective while honoring the depth of the work.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a private retreat and a group retreat?

In a private retreat, the entire process revolves around you (or you and your partner). There are no other guests in ceremony, which reduces energetic noise and emotional complexity. This can be especially supportive for sensitive nervous systems, trauma-related themes and couples work. Group retreats, by contrast, come with shared energy, more interpersonal dynamics and a lower level of individual attention.

Which medicines can I work with in a private retreat?

Depending on your health profile, medications, psychological background and intentions, you may be able to work with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (magic mushrooms or truffles), San Pedro and, in some cases, Bufo Alvarius. All options are explored together during screening and preparation. In some cases, we recommend a non-medicine format, breathwork or a different plant if we believe that is safer or more aligned.

How much does a private psychedelic retreat cost?

For individuals, prices start at € 1,600 for 1 ceremony, € 3,000 for 2 ceremonies and € 4,300 for 3 ceremonies. For couples, prices start at € 2,500 per couple for 1 ceremony, € 4,700 for 2 ceremonies and € 6,700 for 3 ceremonies. The final amount depends on number of nights, ceremonies and any additional support you choose.

Is this suitable if I have a trauma history or feel very sensitive?

Many guests with trauma histories or high sensitivity deliberately choose a private psychedelic retreat in Portugal because of the quiet environment and focused support. We carefully screen for psychiatric and medical contraindications and only proceed if we believe the retreat can be held safely and responsibly. If not, we may suggest a different format or a later time.

Can we come as a couple but still have individual space?

Yes. In a private psychedelic couple retreat, you share ceremonies but also receive individual attention and integration. We create both joint sessions and separate time, so each person can move at their own pace while supporting the shared journey. This can be a powerful way to reset patterns, deepen connection and build a more conscious relationship.

Where exactly in Europe are these private retreats held?

Our private retreats take place in Portugal, in the Algarve region, in a quiet countryside setting about 15 minutes from the beach. The location offers privacy, nature and a relaxed atmosphere—ideal for deep inner work and integration while still being accessible from major European cities.
