Rejuvyn Featured in Forbes: How to Choose the Right Psychedelic Retreat
At Rejuvyn, our core mission is to provide safe, expertly guided, and deeply transformative experiences. Recently, we had the honor of hosting travel and wellness writer Vicky Smith at one of our retreats.
Following her journey with us, Vicky published an insightful guide in Forbes detailing what prospective participants should look for when considering a plant medicine journey. As she notes in her article:
“Tempted by a psychedelic retreat? It’s important to find one that is safe and fulfilling.”
We are incredibly grateful that she chose to highlight Rejuvyn as a trusted example of how a retreat should be run. Here are a few highlights from her experience with us, and what she recommends looking for when choosing your own path.

1. Look for Experience and World-Class Facilitation
When embarking on a psychedelic journey, safety and trust are paramount. In her article, Vicky highlights the importance of choosing a team with a proven track record and deep scientific and psychological grounding.
“I chose a psilocybin retreat with the highly regarded Rejuvyn, which has 15 years of experience in psychedelic facilitation and hosts retreats in The Netherlands (where psilocybin truffles are legal) […]”
“I was reassured to learn that Rejuvyn’s team spans psychologists to neuroscientists—and there is always someone on-hand that is trained in emergencies, as well a nearby hospital, both highly unlikely to be needed but good to check nonetheless.”
2. Seek a Holistic Framework (Preparation to Integration)
A successful retreat is about much more than just the ceremony itself. The preparation leading up to the retreat and the integration process afterward are where the true, lasting changes take root.
“For example, alongside the truffle ceremonies themselves, Rejuvyn retreats incorporate breathwork, meditation, nutritious meals and much more. There is an engaging pre-retreat program, including classes and a live one-hour workshop, plus a six-week program that aids integration. All good retreats should offer a similar framework.”
3. Choose a Nurturing Environment
Your physical surroundings play a massive role in your emotional landscape during a retreat. We have designed our spaces to offer both communal connection and absolute privacy for deep introspection.
“A final reason I personally chose Rejuvyn is that the setting felt right for me: a calm and cozy complex surrounded by nature, with plenty of nooks and crannies for introspection (knowing I often crave my own space, I also a booked a private bedroom for this reason).”
