5 Day Private Transformational Psilocybin Retreat Costa Rica

Markus – Germany From September 13 to September 17, 2025, I had the great honor of spending five days at the Mushroom Awakening Retreat with my facilitator and his wife Anaïs – at one of the most beautiful places one can imagine in this world.

I entered this retreat with a very personal challenge: within my family life it had often been very difficult to deal with me. For this reason, I decided to take this step – to walk a new path. Above all, to prove to myself, and also to my family, that there is always an option for change.

During these days I went through two ceremonies and spent a lot of time in deep conversations in between. Through this, we were able to uncover many of my hidden behavioral patterns and bring to light issues from my childhood that had long remained in the shadows. This combination of professional guidance, honest exchange, and mindful reflection was simply groundbreaking for my personal growth.

A very special element was the incredibly delicious, lovingly prepared food by Anaïs. She brought in the feminine, nurturing energy and completed the retreat experience in a wonderful way. Together with the healing river, the breathtaking nature, and the deep connection I was able to build with these two wonderful people, it created a harmonious and powerful whole.

At the end of the five days I felt as if I was having to leave close friends behind – and that is definitely not something ordinary. We had opened our hearts and therefore only received positivity in return.

I can truly recommend this retreat to anyone – especially to those who still have open questions in their lives or who have unresolved experiences from the past they can no longer access. Here, everything is in alignment: the setting, the landscape, the people.

Conclusion: A unique, transformative experience that has profoundly changed my life – and one I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.

Love you guys. ❤️

----------- Ernst – The Netherlands I experienced two mushroom sessions with Sebastiaan, and they were life-changing because I gained insight into a deeply hidden trauma that had occurred when I was a baby. Because I couldn’t possibly have any active memories of this event, my body opened up and gave me the information I needed to heal.

It took a while before I could make sense of all the information and integrate the insights, but these sessions resulted in peace and relaxation because I now understand the impact of the trauma on my life up to that point. Now I can see more clearly how and why I tend towards survival mechanisms, and I can transform these into more effective behavior, taking my wishes, needs, and desires seriously, without becoming selfish. So, for me, it wasn’t an experience full of bliss, enlightenment, divinity, rainbows, or unicorns, but a raw reset that proved to be all-encompassing.

I am grateful for these sessions and the thorough guidance that has brought a fuller, lighter, and above all, more awake life.

Definitely recommended because it has also made me more mature, stable and therefore more responsible for my existence.

----------- Kent – Unites States of America “Let me start out by saying I am possibly the least likely psychonaut ever. Despite being a conscientious objector to the War on Drugs, I had lived 61 years without using any recreational drug other than alcohol, and had not been intoxicated in about 30 years. I happened upon a YouTube video of controversial University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson talking about the promising research on psilocybin in treating depression. Having a history of melancholia, I read many books on the subject of psychedelics before deciding psilocybin was worth a try. I had managed to get some magic mushrooms in India a few months before, but even the 4 g of dried mushrooms I had was not enough to get a reaction from me. I resolved to find a guide for what was likely to be a life-changing experience and Holland seemed to be the logical place to find that guide.

I found Sebastiaan through the website and made my plans to take two trips on psilocybin mushrooms while there. My hopes were to let go of the sadness and find purpose in life as a result – not much to ask, huh?

The first trip… despite all my research, the prospect of a “bad” trip weighed heavily on my mind. It was good to know that Sebastiaan would be there to assure me that reality was still there in the event of a very dark experience. He even brought lemons to add to the mushrooms to make them more palatable. He was willing to talk as long as I liked before the trip to resolve any issues and set me at ease. He informed me about the effects of the magic mushrooms and warned me that there is a risk that the trip would be unpleasant.

Sure enough, it took a “heroic” dose of mushrooms to get the desired reaction. Sebastiaan was there to make sure I got enough and put on some ethereal music that was perfect for the....
