Tangerine Retreat offers a unique personal 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.

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 :

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.
