Remembering our own ancestral wisdom

Integration
Ceremony
a 1 day retreat
We come together under a canopy of trees to take part in the practice of the ancient sacred circle. ​You're supported to step into remembering your own ancestral wisdom.
Guided by our dedicated team you learn to work with one of nature's profound medicines; Psilocybin.
Integration is in the end maybe the most important part of the work.
That's why you will receive a final 1 hour private video consultation a week after the ceremony. When needed, additional tailor made homework will be shared to support you with this proces.
Through this method, the experience can integrate into your daily life and help you with the transition and transformation.
This work is therapeutic of nature and requires commitment from the participants. You step into a confidential and safe environment, where everything is welcome that arises during your process.
Our sessions are always guided by live music and we therefor work together with professional musicians.
Take a look at our Team to see who we work with.
This is not a luxury retreat,
but a gateway into daily sacredness.
Mother Nature with all her love
is gifting us a profound medicine
We are here to assist you with this introduction, or perhaps reunion. And to help you get acquainted with your own inner healer. Change is inherent in life.
There's no need to be afraid of it. How life changes can be your own choice.
Where we gather
Safely tucked away,
hidden at the edge of the dunes and the forest lies the beautiful private land of Sekoya.
A holistic wellness center in Schoorl,
the Netherlands.
Here we come together to celebrate in ceremony.
Working with the seasons
At Sekoya we are surrounded by old trees and lots of different native birds. And as working with psilocybin can be all about re-connecting back to nature, we love to facilitate the work outside as much as the dutch weather allows. Mostly the journey itself will take place in the beautiful big yurt, heated by a fire.
What is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychoactive mushrooms, has formed the spiritual and cultural foundation of many great civilizations. The Aztecs referred to teonanácatl, which translates as “divine mushroom.” Research on psychedelics shows that the psychedelic experience can catalyze a profound personal transformation.
Under the influence of psilocybin, the brain creates a feedback loop of neuroactivity and release of neurotransmitters (the chemical messengers neurons use to communicate). It allows neurons to work through connections it normally doesn’t use. The brain becomes more flexible and unique. It helps boost neuroplasticity in our brains, which can help us make positive changes in our lives.
Ceremonial Dose
What is considered a high dose of psilocybin may differ per person.
That's why your dosage will always be unique to you and administered as such. This is always something that can be discussed during your consultation. We take you, your safety and your motivation for participation very seriously.
This work is based on trust and responsibility from both parties.
Simply said..
Psilocybin works as an enhancer.
​
It can amplify your sensory experience and heighten your emotions,
which can be beneficial when you're open to reroute your habitual ways.
Like letting go of certain thought processes, addictions and sometimes even trauma's.
With it we can make associations we normally wouldn't make, becoming more creative.
We can discover completely new ways of thinking about the world and ourselves, expanding our consciousness.
