Elevated Mind Retreats

Elevated Mind Retreats runs 3-day residential psilocybin-truffle retreats in the Dutch countryside at Almkerk, Noord-Brabant, in small groups. Alongside the standard 3-day format it offers a women’s edition, an “advanced” edition for participants with prior retreat or psychedelic experience, and private retreats. Retreats combine guided psilocybin ceremonies with breathwork and meditation, and the operator states that all retreats include personal screening and intake, continuous facilitator support and integration guidance.

The operator states that it operates within the Dutch legal framework (“Legal in the Netherlands”). Admission involves an online intake form covering physical health, mental-health history, medication use and intentions, which the team reviews to assess whether the retreat is “an appropriate and safe fit”. After the retreat, participants receive a written integration guide and a facilitated group integration call, with optional one-to-one integration support.

Named facilitators include founder Niels van der Valk (described as a certified breathwork facilitator), Fleur Bekke (facilitator and women’s-retreat lead), Lisette Laurens (process facilitator and trauma release practitioner) and Tinus van der Linde (certified trauma release coach).

Published pricing for the standard 3-day retreat starts from €1,599, with a retreat scheduled for 14–16 August 2026. A separate private 2-night psilocybin retreat for couples is listed at €3,499 for two people.

This program is held in the Netherlands, where psilocybin truffles are legal to sell and possess. Psilocybin remains a prohibited substance in Australia outside the authorised clinical pathway. Australians travel at their own responsibility; this is not medical advice.
