Retreat Program

What Is a Psychedelic Retreat?

A psychedelic retreat is an immersive stay during which participants explore the effects of psilocybin truffles. At Tangerine Retreat, our dedicated English-speaking team ensures supervision, legality, and safety.

This break away from the world combines several activities: personal development workshops, coaching sessions… and a half-day devoted to self-exploration under the effects of the psychedelic substance.

A Space for Transformation

At the crossroads of wellbeing, introspection, and spirituality, the retreat offers a deeply meaningful experience. This space for growth and inner transformation is designed to help you find answers within yourself and unlock certain blockages.

Discover our Retreat

In the Dutch Countryside

In a privileged natural setting, we invite participants from all around the world to a psychedelic retreat. It is a powerful spiritual journey, a first step toward change. It is a rare experience, made safe by our experts.

This self-exploration is made possible by psilocybin truffles. They contain the same molecule as the famous “magic mushrooms”, with the key difference that their consumption is legal in the Netherlands.

Everything, absolutely everything, was perfect! The facilitators, of course—Mourad, Yvobin, and Arnaud—the atmosphere, the rigor, generosity, humanity, humility, the food, the organization, the setting… I couldn't find a single negative point. This stay will remain etched in my heart forever and will sow seeds for my entire life. Thank you.

I can only describe it as the most incredible experience of my life, and the best day of my life. 20 years of therapy in 5 hours is priceless. After 33 years, I experienced JOY for the first time, but this was only possible thanks to building a safe environment with competent people and daily sharing.

If you feel it's time to take the bull by the horns, these professionals are for you.

Thank you to the Tangerine team for this truly enriching guided journey, for all the advice given before and after (which was very relevant and not at all "optional"), for your kindness, for the excellent organization, for your experience, for not seeking the limelight, and for perfectly fulfilling your role as guides... I realize that the little details put in place to facilitate and ease the journey are so important.

I was deeply moved by this stay, deeply moved by this very special day, for this unique experience that fosters change: thank you to the team (and the other participants)...

Hoping that you will continue to guide and help so many people with kindness and dedication!

I learnt so much about myself and beyond during this amazing weekend. The psylocin experience was complex and meaningful and was made deeper and safer thanks to the wonderful support of the Tangerine team. There is no better place to come for a mushroom journey.

I had a wonderful, intense and powerful experience at Tangerine Retreat. The facilitators were very welcoming and held the space with so much compassion, safety, support and kindness. The group were wonderful to journey with and the vegetarian food was so tasty!

I have never experienced a psilocybin (mushroom truffles) retreat before and everything was explained so clearly and professionally right from when I first applied. From the administration to the sound ceremony, the holotropic breath work, to the psilocybin ceremony, the facilitators supported me throughout! They each held the space with so much kindness.

A special shout out to David for being beautifully present with me throughout a powerful and transformative experience. I would totally recommend it! I am very keen to do another retreat. A massive thank you to all the team for an amazing experience and the lovely gift which was also a lovely touch! Hayley 💕

This retreat helped me to fully embrace my pain in a safe holding and “meet myself” with all the contradictions of being human.

I love this quote…

DESPITE WHAT WE SAY TO OURSELVES about wanting to know who we really are, there is a very strong chance that we will steer clear of decisive meetings with ourselves for as long as possible. It is far easier to walk in shoes too small for us than to step into the largeness that the soul expects and demands. Can we really bear to know who we are, with all those contradictions, all those other energies and agendas that do not conform to our ego ideal of ourselves? (James Hollis)

I am very happy to have selected the Tangerine retreat to live this very special experience. This is a place where you are in safe hands, looked after and guided by a team that is passionate, knowledgeable, compassionate and deeply caring. Everything was of high standard. From the help with logistics, the preparation prior to arrival, the welcome, the activities, the advice, the food and the actual ceremony. A big thank you to this team for their dedication, deep kindness and passion for these magic mushrooms as well as their generosity in wanting others to experience the goodness these mushrooms can bring to you. Importantly, this is a group of people who do this out of a deep passion for the healing powers of magic mushrooms and importantly for someone reading a review trying to decide on a retreat, you are in very safe and trusted hands in the Tangerine retreat. I really cannot emphasise this enough.
A big thank you to each and everyone from the Team.

What Psilocybin Truffles Can Offer

During your stay in the Netherlands, you can experience the unique journey offered by magic truffles. This variety of psychedelic fungi is 100% legal there.

Combined with professional supervision, psychedelic substances become a powerful tool for personal development:

Stronger emotional connections;
Better access to unconscious thoughts;
Exploration of consciousness;
Release of buried emotions;
Psychological resilience;
Understanding or overcoming blockages;
A search for meaning.

What is Psilocybin ?

How Does the Retreat Work?

A supervised psilocybin retreat is an opportunity to venture into an extraordinary world. A journey of rare intensity that can bring profound answers.

A new world opens temporarily. An inner journey offering a new perspective on yourself.

How Long Does it Last?

Each journey is different. It generally lasts 4 to 6 hours. During this time, the participant will experience an altered state of consciousness.

Lying on the floor in a soothing atmosphere accompanied by evocative music, they move through memories, thoughts, or emotions. Sometimes with distance. Sometimes with deep involvement.

What Effects on the Brain?

Taking psilocybin-containing hallucinogenic mushrooms increases communication between neurons. Serotonin levels rise.

Areas that did not previously communicate begin to function together. Unconscious connections form. The mind opens.

The Benefits of a Psilocybin Retreat

A spiritual retreat makes it possible to have a legal psychedelic experience in a protected setting. To benefit fully from psilocybin, proper preparation is essential: Tangerine Retreat therefore offers comprehensive support.

A Safety-Centred Approach

The residence, practitioners, and activities focus on effectiveness and safety. This professional care helps you stay focused on your inner goals and eliminates the risk of a bad trip.

“Set and setting” before, during, and after the journey.
Sessions to address key themes and prepare psychologically and neurologically.
Workshops complement this preparation: yoga, breathwork, discussion groups.

Facilitators are present throughout the retreat. Our team includes one coach for every three participants. This highly attentive guidance supports gradual progress toward a psychological rebirth.

Why Do People Join a Retreat?

The Ideal Place to Make a Fresh Start

A Space to Connect with Nature

Tangerine Retreat welcomes you to a calming place. In the heart of nature, our guesthouse offers a full connection with the elements. Comfortable rooms, meditation, breathing exercises, and a serene atmosphere.

With its lush forest and winding paths, this green haven offers a real break from everyday life. Our bedrooms, whether they are shared or private, are very comfortable and all include a bathroom and toilets. Bedsheets are also provided.

Vegetarian Meals: Health and Pleasure

At the residence, our chef offers vegetarian menus based on seasonal ingredients. We promise you will not be eating only mushrooms!

In addition, meals are designed to be light and easy to digest. This eases the nervous system and helps you rest.

Stay 1.5 Hours from Amsterdam

Our retreat centre is located in Loenen. This small town is 1.5 hours from Amsterdam and from Schiphol Airport. It is accessible by public transport—bus and train—and by motorway.

If you have time, you can also do a little sightseeing in the Dutch capital before joining us!

The Key Challenges of a Psychedelic Journey

A Difficult or Traumatic Past

Negative events from the past can sometimes have a disproportionate impact. This may stem from personal vulnerabilities, or from a lack of communication with others or with oneself. Different traumas and emotions can therefore deprive us of the strength we need to fully enjoy life.

Regaining Mental Clarity

The purpose of a psychedelic retreat is to help initiate a process that loosens emotional locks and restores mental clarity. Our team speaks one-to-one with each participant to adapt the spiritual journey to their situation and expectations.

A Substance Studied by Science

Recognised Institutions

Scientific research has been examining the cognitive impact of magic mushrooms for more than 40 years. Researchers aim to determine whether psychedelics could represent an alternative to medication-based treatments.

Potential Pathways for Mental Health

At present, researchers are evaluating its effects on treatment-resistant depression, alcohol use disorder, and OCD. Even so, the medical use of psilocybin in psychiatry is just at the beginning. Further studies are organised to prove the benefits of this psychedelic substance.

Who Is a Psilocybin Retreat Really For?

A supervised psilocybin retreat is not suitable for everyone. It is intended for adults who are capable of introspection and willing to commit to a demanding process.

Most participants arrive with a clear intention: to move beyond an emotional blockage, clarify a life transition, understand trauma or repetitive patterns, or regain inner coherence. This work requires maturity and mental availability.

That is why a detailed medical screening is required before approval: psychiatric history, current treatments, and cardiovascular health. Our programmes provide a clear framework thanks to this rigorous selection process.

However, Tangerine Retreat does not provide prescriptions or therapeutic treatment for mental health conditions under any circumstances.

In Practical Terms, What Do You Experience During the Stay?

The stay alternates between group time and individual conversations. The first day or days focus on preparation: clarifying intention, reviewing possible effects of psilocybin, and working on “set and setting”.

The ceremony usually lasts between 4 and 6 hours. It takes place lying down, in a secure environment, with a structured music programme and continuous presence from the team. Each participant receives support without unnecessary intrusion.

The following days focus on integration: putting the experience into words, identifying insights, and translating them into concrete changes in daily life.

Questions & Answers About the Retreats

What is the principle of a psychedelic stay?

All our retreats take place in the Netherlands, where psilocybin truffles are legal. More specifically, we welcome you in Loenen with an English-speaking team.

Are nights and meals included?

Yes, at Tangerine Retreat, meals and accommodation are included in the price. You stay in a guesthouse with the team and other participants (2 nights for the 3-day option, and 4 nights for the 5-day programme). All included meals are organic and vegetarian, to help you rest and relax your nervous system.

Can I book a private bedroom?

Yes, at Tangerine Retreat, you have the possibility to book a private bedroom at an extra cost. Otherwise, you may share your room with one or two participants during your stay.

Who is this type of retreat for?

Our psychedelic retreats are intended for any adult who wishes to participate and has no contraindications. Selection is based on a thorough medical screening.

What effects are participants looking for?

Most participants seek improved psychological wellbeing, greater emotional clarity, or a lasting shift in perspective.

How long does a psychedelic retreat last?

Is there follow-up afterwards?

Yes, an integration phase after the retreat is essential to make sense of the experience. Understanding sensations and emotions helps extend the benefits.

Do I need prior experience with psychedelics?

No. The retreats are designed both for complete beginners and for experienced participants.

How should I prepare for the retreat?

Preparation includes prior conversations, practical recommendations, and intention-setting before the stay. Participants are invited to rest, limit screen time, and follow a low-carbohydrate diet while avoiding alcohol and caffeine.

What supervision is provided on site?

On site, participants are supported by experienced facilitators who speak English. They are present day and night. During the psychedelic journey, a healthcare professional joins the team.

The information on this website does not constitute medical advice.

Our retreats take place legally in the Netherlands with psilocybin truffles and are designed as a non-medical, personal development and wellbeing experience, supported by preparation, facilitation and integration. Participation is subject to screening, and anyone with a medical or psychiatric condition should seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional before applying.
