Welcome to New Moon Retreats.
We offer psychedelic retreats in a safe, legal, and comfortable setting with experienced facilitators and a registered nurse. We aim to make the psychedelic experience accessible to first timers as well as experienced people who want to explore psychedelics in a deeper and more intentional way.
Our retreats are held in the Netherlands where psilocybin truffles are legal. Our retreats take place at a large house in peaceful Dutch countryside.
We place the psychedelic experience amidst mindfulness training and our program includes a course of meditation practice with guided meditations and mindfulness exercises.
Our Mission
We hope to enable people to broaden their minds, develop insight and understanding, accelerate personal development and stimulate creative breakthroughs.
To offer a safe and supportive environment for people who want to take psilocybin in a controlled and comfortable setting. We believe this environment is paramount for any productive and beneficial exploration and all sessions are supervised by experienced facilitators.
To create a physical setting that is designed to maximise the positive benefits of psilocybin. We believe the setting is hugely important in shaping the experience and we pay special attention to comfort, sound and light.
To increase accessibility of psychedelic experiences. Moving away from shamanistic new age associations of the psychedelic experience, we aim to provide a retreat which is compatible with contemporary Western values and beliefs.
To teach our guests basic meditation techniques such as focused attention and mindfulness to prepare for psychedelic sessions and as a tool to use for a more awakened life.
Our Motivations
We’ve experienced huge benefit from psychedelics and seen it in others too. Psychedelics have helped us to gain a deeper appreciation of life, to heal, to live more creative, curious and mindful lives. We want to share and spread these gifts that we have received.
We believe that psychedelic experiences have a significant role to play in creating a better world. At a time in the story of humanity where increased awareness and accelerated change is needed on a global level, we believe that psychedelics are some of the most powerful tools at our disposal, given they can have the ability to accelerate awareness and change on the individual level.
We consider facilitating deep psychedelic journeys to be humbling work and find it deeply meaningful to support others through the stages of a psychedelic experience, from preparation through to integration.
*NOTE our retreats are currently postponed due to COVID but will hopefully resume soon. Please check back with us.
