By “psychedelic,” I mean experiences that go beyond the narrow meaning of the term and are had in deeply altered states of consciousness (trance). Etymologically, the term means “that which reveals the soul.” In other words, that which connects us with our soul and our innermost being, and thus also with life, nature, and the universe.
We work with substances that are legal in the respective country and have been tested by us for their suitability. And we work with other, similarly profound methods, in particular breathwork.
Normally, a retreat consists of two sessions, one with substances and one as a double session with breathwork (as a participant, you are once a "sitter" and once a "breather"). The sessions are embedded in preliminary talks and sharing circles to clarify your intention, preparatory exercises, and integration work. Depending on the length of the retreat and the needs of the group, additional tools such as shamanic journeys or the medicine wheel may be used, or we may use dance or movement to connect with our bodies. Materials for painting and collages are available at all times; this is also part of the integration process. The integration also includes an online meeting of the group a few weeks after the retreat.
A maximum of twelve participants will be supported by two to three facilitators, depending on the size of the group. All facilitators are appropriately trained and have extensive personal experience with altered states of consciousness.
Since we are among women, a very special safe space can be created. Many women find it easier to trust and open up in such a special atmosphere than they would in a mixed group.
The sessions have a ceremonial framework. Music carries the experience. You are on your own, very personal journey, guided by your intention and by that what is often referred to as the inner healer. The facilitators provide support as needed, for example with bodywork, questions or suggestions, or simply by holding the space for whatever arises and wants to be experienced in that moment of the journey. There is relatively little talking, because the aim is not to feed the mind (that comes later, during the integration process), but to experience this journey with your whole being, with your soul, body and emotions.
The group setting means that you do not have the full attention of a guide all the time. However, the group is part of the framework and space that holds your own experience; it can be an important witness and valuable mirror, in deep connection with you through shared activity.
The main language during the retreat is English, unless only German speakers are present. One-to-one conversations can also be conducted in German or other languages.
Simple, tastefully designed double or triple rooms are available for accommodation. Meals are vegetarian, partly vegan, and mostly organic.
