There, veiled emotions and buried memories resurface like whispers from a distant past. During this adventure, they are guided under the attentive care of our facilitators.
This self-exploration is made possible by psilocybin truffles. These truffles contain the psychoactive molecule found in the famous “magic mushrooms.” However, the difference is that their consumption is legal in the Netherlands.

During your stay in the Netherlands, you can experience a journey with magic truffles. This is a 100% legal variety of psychedelic mushrooms. They contain psychedelic compounds that enhance emotional connections and access to unconscious thoughts.
A psilocybin retreat offers the opportunity to venture into a surprising and promising universe while benefiting from professional guidance.
Every journey is different. It usually lasts 4 to 6 hours. During this time, participants enter an altered state of consciousness. They lie on the floor in a calm space, with mystical music playing. They explore memories, worries, or feelings. Sometimes they observe these from a distance; other times, they dive in deeply.
Psilocybin helps brain areas connect in new ways. Parts of the brain that didn’t work together before start communicating. This opens the mind, builds inner awareness, and helps overcome mental blocks.
The retreat is a safe place for this unique experience. The team and activities are designed to ensure, effectiveness comfort and safety throughout.

Magic mushrooms do not cure mental illnesses. However, scientific research has been exploring their cognitive impact for over 40 years. Several recent clinical trials offer a fresh perspective on the use of psilocybin in psychedelic therapy. Institutions like Imperial College London and the American university Johns Hopkins are deeply involved in this field.
These scientific experiments conclude that taking psychoactive mushrooms can lead to a fast and remarkable reduction in symptoms related to severe depression. Experiences and testimonials are chronicled in documentaries about mushrooms offered by various platforms (Hulu, Netflix, or Prime).
Right now, the medical use of psilocybin is not recognized worldwide. But studies show it might be another option for treating certain mental health problems :

On-site, workshops further enhance this preparation, including yoga, breath work, and group discussions.
The facilitators at Tangerine Retreat are present alongside participants. Our team ensures attentive guidance with one facilitator for every three participants, offering a highly personalized approach to the journey of mental rebirth. All our facilitators are trained and experienced in psychology or personal development.
Rites of awakening involving psychedelic mushrooms have been practiced since time immemorial. Evidence of their presence has been found in various locations (Mexico, Spain, Hungary)… And across different eras. In ancient cultures, mushrooms and mycelium were already used to achieve altered states of consciousness.
Archaeologists have even discovered cave paintings dating back 9,000 years BCE. Those drawings depict the use of psilocybin mushrooms for psychedelic purposes by shamans.
A transformative experience
For many, negative past events have an outsized impact due to personal vulnerabilities. Or even a lack of communication with others, or a disconnection from oneself.
Various traumas and emotions can rob us of the strength needed to enjoy life. This manifests differently for each individual: bad mood, fatigue, weariness, or anxiety. In some cases, these symptoms may escalate into more debilitating forms… Such as anxiety disorders or chronic depression.
A psychedelic retreat is an opportunity to begin a journey of understanding and unlocking your emotional barriers.
Dive into Your Emotions
In studies on anxiety and depression, many people said a single dose of psilocybin helped them feel better. The experience gave them new ways to handle daily life.
Tangerine Retreat uses these ideas to guide participants on their journey. We help them explore and understand their mental challenges. But we don’t give prescriptions. We also don’t offer medical treatments.
Our team works one-on-one with every participant. They focus on making each experience personal and meaningful.
To be honest, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer! It depends on the individual. For some, the experience can be spiritual, offering a profound connection with the universe or nature. For others, it may provide revelations… About the world, family, or oneself.
Some seek it out as a challenge, satisfying a need for adventure or novelty.
Finally, psilocybin’s effects can be used as a mental health booster. Research into depression, PTSD, OCD, anorexia, or alcohol addiction has shown potential benefits.
In any case, psilocybin opens up an unsuspected world. A rich, inner world, profound and transformative. Leaving you with the feeling of having experienced something powerful and different. The kind of experience that changes you.
That’s what set and setting are all about. They include the mushroom ceremony, preparation and integration.
The guides help with preparation. It’s like personal and caring coaching. Participants have three private sessions to set their goals. During these sessions, they talk about the topics they want to explore and share any worries. This step builds trust between the participant and the guide.
Integration sessions focus on group talks and self-reflection. They allow participants to think about their journey and understand it better. This understanding can help create new habits. The psychedelic experience often brings an energy boost, but it’s not the end. Continued growth through spiritual practice or therapy is key to lasting change.
The distinction between the two is nuanced.
A group retreat is like a time-out from daily life, offering an emotional reset. It focuses on personal growth and self-discovery, guided by coaches or facilitators. Retreats are intense, one-time experiences. They can that help you move forward but don’t provide healing on their own.
Psilocybin sessions, on the other hand, is a longer process aimed at treating mental disorders. It’s done under the care of licensed mental health professionals (therapists or psychiatrists). This therapy combines psychedelic substances with psychotherapy or hypnosis sessions.
Retreats can complement therapy when a therapist helps the attendee prepare for and process the experience before and after. However, retreats are led by facilitators, not therapists. And they are not considered therapy themselves.
Psilocybin is a molecule found in some types of mushrooms. People have known about it for thousands of years. When it enters the body, psilocybin turns into another compound called psilocin. Research shows that this substance briefly changes how the brain works. Psilocin attaches to serotonin receptors, which control feelings and energy levels.
Under psilocybin’s influence, brain connections shift. This creates temporary changes in how you sense and see things. It can feel like a vivid dream, happiness, or even seeing things that aren’t there. These shifts help bring up hidden emotions. It’s a chance to face them and learn from the experience.
Emotions from all around the world
Because there are no legal psychedelic retreats in the UK, Norway, Denmark, or Italy, we created Tangerine Institute in the Netherlands. Psilocybin truffles are legal there, making the approach serene and effective. You can reach the retreat center within a few hours from London. Also from Copenhagen, Oslo, or Rome.
We also welcome participants from the USA, India, or Eastern Europe.

Throughout our lives, we develop fears, blockages, or negative feelings that disrupt our normal functioning due to a lack of perspective. The result is a sensation that life lacks meaning, or rumination, or even self-deprecation.
American and British medical research has shown an interesting effect of psilocybin on these states. The magic mushroom targets a brain area associated with fear, the amygdala. Moreover, it triggers chemical reactions related to serotonin.
Without fear, it is easier and more effective to explore one’s subconscious and wounds. Thoughts navigate toward new horizons, offering a fresh perspective.
For this reason, psilocybin has shown encouraging results in the fight against depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Clinical trials, for example, have concluded that it can be as effective as antidepressants in just one dose.
Imagine a house surrounded by forests and rivers. A team of facilitators welcomes you warmly and guides you to a relaxed state of mind. On the agenda: breathwork, meditation, and of course, ingestion of psilocybin mushrooms.
The principle of a psychedelic retreat is to create conditions of complete relaxation and safety to allow you to embark on a nice psychedelic journey. It’s impactful, powerful, transformative… in a word: decisive!
The advantage of psilocybin retreats is that they are legal in Oregon. They are also more accessible than medical trials. Thus, the consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms is possible on-site for any American or Canadian citizen.
Disconnect! Rejuvenate in the heart of Oregon’s wilderness. The home where you’ll stay for 5 days and 4 nights is nestled in lush greenery.
Feast! The retreat center offer you local and organic cuisine. The chef’s meals aim to delight your taste buds without burdening your digestion.
Open the doors of your mind! Prepare your dried mushrooms and embark on two psychedelic ceremonies under the supervision of the facilitation team.
Under the influence of psilocybin, it’s possible to access phenomena never encountered before. Colors, images, personal themes, feelings of euphoria, connection to living beings, feelings of love or euphoria.
Many people report feeling an immediate improvement in their mood. And for good reason! A study on participants of a psychedelic journey shows that 95% of those surveyed rank it among the top five experiences of their lives.
Long before Oregon psilocybin retreats were invented, humans were already using psilocybes mushrooms to explore altered states of consciousness. Thus, pre-Columbian civilizations, Maya and Aztec, practiced mystical or magical rituals related to the use of fungi.
The contents of these ancient rituals are unknown. But around the world (Mexico, Hungary, Algeria), archaeological traces show that shamans have been practicing natural psychedelic medicines for nearly 9,000 years.
Can’t join Tangerine Retreat in the Netherlands? No problem!
We offer a partnership with a psychedelic retreat center based in Oregon. Designed with seriousness and enthusiasm, this psilocybin retreat welcomes you for an extraordinary stay. Surrounded by an American team with extensive expertise, you can safely surrender to the spiritual essence of two psilocybin ceremonies.
The retreat location is in a region known for its natural beauty and seclusion. Meet the team halfway between Portland and Sacramento, at the entrance to the Klamath National Forest.
Initially, psilocybin became legal for therapeutic purposes in Oregon in November 2020. It was Measure 109 that allowed the regulated use of psilocybin. The law requires authorization for treatment centers that oversee this process.
Oregon was the first US state to adopt such a measure, exploring a new approach to mental health treatment.
The law permits several psilocybin-containing products: capsules or pills, liquid extracts, and dried mushrooms.
In retreats, this latter form is offered, both pure and traditional. The program there is structured to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the psychedelic mushrooms, following strict protocols.
Apart from in Oregon and Colorado, the sensory molecule has been considered a controlled substance in the rest of the USA since the 1960s. California has seen several reform attempts regarding psilocybin. The main proposals were about its decriminalization. No law has been passed to legalize or regulate its use statewide.
However, some Californian cities, like Oakland and Santa Cruz, have taken steps to decriminalize the use of natural psychedelic substances. Yet, these cities do not offer legal support.
In Colorado, the situation has advanced significantly. In November 2022, Colorado approved an electoral initiative (Proposition 122) to decriminalize and create a regulated program allowing the therapeutic use of psilocybin.
The program, set to launch in 2024, will allow adults aged 21 and over to access psilocybin in centers supervised by trained professionals.
Psilocybin impacts neural networks. Like antidepressants, it targets the 5-HT2A serotonin receptors. Activating this receptor triggers a chain reaction affecting mood, perception, or cognition.
This effect could help reset parts of the brain that function differently in depressed individuals, providing a stable chemical foundation. Research also suggests that psilocybin increases brain plasticity. For those with depression, this gives neurons the ability to change and adapt, breaking away from negative thought patterns. Furthermore, psychedelic experiences can also provide profound psychological insights. Realizations.
Patients often report experiences of self-understanding and acceptance. These feelings can contribute to a sense of well-being and a reduction in depressive symptoms.
To enroll in an Oregon psilocybin retreat, the following criteria must be met:
Beyond these points, residents from any state in the US can participate in the retreats in Oregon.
Yes, in Oregon, facilities offering psilocybin sessions must be certified to operate legally. This certification is an essential part of the regulatory framework established by the state. Its goal is to ensure the safety and quality of the services offered. This accreditation depends on:
Psychedelic substances are chemical compounds. They have mind altering short-term effects on perception, thoughts, and sensations. They include LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and DMT (found in ayahuasca). These substances can induce a profound psychedelic experience. They sometimes transform consciousness or provide significant spiritual or introspective insights. Historically used in spiritual rituals, they have also been used recreationally. Today, they are being studied for their potential medical-use. MDMA is also being studied for its long-term effects on PTSD, but it is not considered a psychedelic.
Each era has its uses!
