Kiyumi
Netherlands
Trauma-informed six-day retreats capped at around sixteen people, led by Amit Elan, with Gabor Maté attached as an ambassador. Work with the LGBTQI+ community and with autoimmune conditions is an explicit focus rather than an afterthought.
The legal position in Netherlands
The 2008 ban covered fresh and dried psilocybin mushrooms but not sclerotia, the underground part of the same organism. Dutch retreats therefore serve truffles. The distinction is legally real but often blurred in marketing. A centre advertising 'mushrooms' in the Netherlands is describing something the ban covers.

What a psilocybin retreat involves
Typical shape for this modality: 5 to 8 nights; 2 to 3 dosed sessions, $3,000 to $6,000. Use it as a checklist to ask against, not as this centre's timetable.
- Before arrivalIntake questionnaire and medical screening. Reputable operators ask about SSRIs, lithium, cardiac history and family history of psychosis, and decline people accordingly.
- Day 1Arrival, group meeting, intention setting, one-to-one time with facilitators.
- Dosing daysSessions typically run in daylight over 4 to 6 hours, with facilitators present throughout. Doses are often escalated across sessions rather than kept flat.
- Between sessionsGroup integration discussion, bodywork or beach time, and rest. The day after a session is deliberately unstructured.
- Final dayClosing integration session and onward planning.
- AfterAsk specifically what follow-up is included and for how long.
Jamaican week-long programmes with multiple sessions publish around $5,000 to $5,600. Dutch weekend programmes run lower. Accommodation tier is usually the main price variable.
