… then the Foundation retreat is CALLING FOR YOU.
Over 6 days in a supportive and peaceful setting, you will immerse in daily breathwork, body based practices inspired by eastern yogic traditions and a psychedelic ceremony with legal truffles. Together, these practices support insight, emotional integration, and sustainable transformation.
This is a WOMEN-LED retreat. You will be guided by Ioana and Imke, both experienced facilitators who combine an academic / research background with in-depth personal practice and training.
Our approach is holistic and trauma-informed, working with both mind and body to support deep transformation. Further support comes from our team of assistants, all with extensive experience and training in guiding immersive psychedelic journeys. With a ratio of at least 1 team member to 3 participants, and by adhering to a strict rule of sobriety for all team members throughout the retreat, we are dedicated to offering the care, attention and support each participant needs.
Your experience begins with an intake process, including an intake call and a free guide for preparation that will allow you to step into the experience feeling comfortable and safe. From the moment you step into the venue, our priority is to ensure that you will have the space and guidance needed for your process to unfold, with empathy and non-judgemental attitude, respecting where you are and what your intention is.
A KEY PRINCIPLE of our work is supporting the integration of the retreat’s insights into daily life. Our approach is unique in the depth and variety of guidance we offer for this process. Integration begins during the retreat itself, where you will practice a time-tested approach to increasing awareness and shifting from automatic reactions to conscious responses. In addition, the integration day, the complimentary PDF guide, and the group online call one month after the retreat are all designed to help you translate the experience into an embodied reality.
OUR PROMISE THAT SETS US APART:
1. A unique blend of tools and practices designed to expand the nervous system’s capacity to navigate intense experiences, while cultivating relaxation and safety in body and mind, allowing access to and release of repressed emotions, memories, and limiting beliefs.
2. A women-led retreat with experienced facilitators and a guide team of four for ten participants, ensuring close attention, care, and support throughout the retreat.
3. An immersive experience that gently takes you in a journey towards letting go of defense mechanisms and uncovering the truth of who you authentically are.
4. Trauma sensitive facilitation and program.
5. A thorough and thoughtful approach to preparation and integration, offering the guidance and tools needed to turn insights into lived reality.
6. A down-to-earth approach that bridges science and spirituality, grounded in a deep understanding of the conditions needed for sustainable, long-lasting transformation.

What moves me most is witnessing people return to their center. After our retreats, I’ve seen people reconnect with their inner strength—emotional, energetic, and deeply human. They begin to access self-love and compassion more naturally. They feel the difference between what truly matters and what’s just noise or drama. They let go of old behaviors […]
