Retreat Program
Tangerine Retreat gives a one-of-a-kind experience in the Dutch countryside. Within a privileged environment, our participants embark on a psychedelic retreat. It is a powerful and stimulating spiritual journey. It allows them to drift into realms of altered states of consciousness. 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.
A brief moment away from the world…
To open those locked doors within.

Truffles: The Key to a Transformed Life?
Psilocybin Consumption
During your stay in the Netherlands, you can go on a trip 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.
How Does It Work?
The Psychedelic Experience
Every trip 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.

An innovative therapeutic approach
Magic mushrooms do not cure mental illnesses. However, scientific research has been exploring their cognitive impact for over 40 years. Several recent clinical trials bring a new take 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 like the famous How to Change your Mind by Michael Pollan.
Right now, the medical use of psilocybin is not recognized worldwide. But studies show potential therapeutic benefits for treating certain mental health problems :
- Treatment-resistant depression;
- Alcoholism treatment;
- Anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD);
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD);
- Anorexia.

The ancient substance of psilocybin
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.
Keys to Moving Forward
A transformative experience
For many, negative past events have an outsized effect 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. This profound experience gave them new ways to handle daily life.
Tangerine Retreat uses these ideas to guide participants on their spiritual development. 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, psilocybin retreats are led by facilitators, not therapists. And they are not considered therapy themselves.
Bad trips occur more frequently in the absence of supervision and in stressful environments. Preparation, set and setting, and the presence of facilitators are key elements in preventing a bad trip. However, participants may experience difficult emotions, known as challenging experiences. These are always temporary and are seen as revealing inner blockages that one must learn to navigate in order to grow.
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
Since legal psychedelic retreats do not exist in most countries, like 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.
