Forms of guidance
Programs at Roothwize are always tailored and depend on personal preferences, intensity, location, and content. This may include preparatory consultations, integration sessions, an individual journey day, or a program combined with a retreat.
Forms of guidance
Psychedelic consultation & integration
Preparation, a guided journey with truffles (individual or duo upon request), and two integration sessions.
Retreats & collaborations
Small-scale and carefully curated; sometimes with truffles, sometimes entirely non-psychedelic.
Duo journeys
In this shared experience, the focus is not on solving problems, but on opening space for insight, connection, and awareness. Both individually and within the relationship.
Our retreats
Who are the retreats for?
The retreats I organize are intended for people who:
- wish to connect with their authentic self
- want to release old patterns or trauma
- seek deeper awareness, spirituality, and embodied living
- long for rest, nature, and slowing down
- feel ready to integrate earlier experiences or journeys
1. Preparation
We begin with an in-depth intake. We review your medical and psychological history, your intention, and any possible contraindications. You will receive a preparation guide with practical tips (including nutrition, reducing stimuli, and ritual), exercises, and reflection questions.
We work with intentions (not expectations) and introduce IFS language (parts & Self energy) as well as simple body-oriented and breathing exercises.
2. The journey
During the session, I work with psilocybin-containing truffles. I provide a calm, safe container in which everything is welcome: emotion, insight, silence, confusion, lightness, and depth.
I remain close and grounded, so you can stay connected with whatever arises. All parts are welcome.
3. Integration
After the session, two integration sessions follow. We translate your insights into concrete actions in behavior, relationships, work, and meaning-making. You will receive an integration guide with exercises and writing prompts. In between sessions, I am available for questions.

Frequently asked questions
Many questions may arise about our services. Below, we highlight the most common ones.
An intention gives direction to your journey. It is not a goal, but an inner compass—something in your life that is asking for attention. For example: “I want to be gentler with myself,” or “I want to reconnect with what I truly want.” During the journey, your intention helps you remain present with whatever wishes to reveal itself.
Each journey is unique. You may experience emotions, images, memories, or deep stillness. Sometimes something old appears that longs to be healed; at other times, love, light, or a sense of connection emerges. Whatever arises is exactly what is meant for you in that moment. Everything is welcome—held with guidance, gentleness, and trust.
After the journey, the integration phase begins, which—like the preparation—takes place in the calm of nature. This is the time in which insights and feelings are allowed to settle. Together, we explore what the journey has brought you and how you can anchor this into your daily life.
In the days and weeks following the journey, the process continues to unfold. You may feel more sensitive or emotional, or instead clearer and filled with wonder. Sometimes there is calm and gentleness; at other times, confusion or fatigue—this is all part of the natural reorganization that is taking place. You are growing.
Approximately two weeks later, a further integration session takes place. Together, we reflect, deepen, and make space for what this experience has brought you. Nature and silence help you stay connected to what has been set in motion and allow your insights to land, at your own pace.
