A 12-week journey combining weekly online gatherings with a psilocybin-assisted residential in the Netherlands, where this work is legally permitted. The programme includes:
Weekly sessions take place on weekday evenings via Zoom. Each group has eight participants, two facilitators, and a Gathering Groups team member. Space holders are also introduced early in the programme and join the group as it progresses.
* Some sessions may be recorded for facilitator training and supervision purposes only. All recordings are kept strictly confidential.
Residentials take place across multiple retreat centres in the Netherlands, where this work is legally supported. Each residential includes accommodation, food, and access to nature. You’ll stay in shared, gendered dorms — typically two to three people per room. We occasionally offer two group ceremonies simultaneously in separate spaces on the same residential land.
This programme is offered at low cost as part of a facilitation apprenticeship. Facilitators are developing their practice in witnessing, listening, and holding space — while the Gathering Groups team provides care, support, and organisation throughout.
Places are limited and interest has been high. Here are two ways to get started:
Stay informed about upcoming intakes and programme updates. No commitment — just a way to stay connected.
Already committed? Complete an intake and deposit to speed things up. Your deposit is fully refundable until you accept a place, and once confirmed, it goes toward your programme fee.
*We’ll be in touch before anything is confirmed.
