Based in the Netherlands, Synthesis is a wellness clinic that is offering the first immersive psychedelic transformation program with its safe and legal Synthesis Expansion retreat. During this seven-week program, you will undergo three weeks of detailed preparation with facilitators and experts and participate in two transformative and transcendental mushroom ceremonies.
After that, there will be three weeks of integration with Synthesis experts and fellow participants that will help you make the most of your experience.
You will participate in integration and preparation sessions remotely. On the other hand, the ceremonies take place at the Synthesis Venwoude location, which is ideal for these ceremonies.
The clinic is also proud to work with the Psychedelic Research Group at Imperial College London. They collaborate with them to provide data, knowledge, and a better understanding of this remarkable and sacred plant medicine. The retreat is led by Daan Keiman, who is the co-founder of the prestigious Guild of Guides Netherlands.
In addition to psilocybin experiences, you can also take part in other activities at the Synthesis Expansion retreat, such as bodywork, yoga, meditation, and soundwork to heal and grow.
Synthesis Expansion is an immersive psychedelic experience designed to promote “deep and lasting transformation”. The retreat begins with a preliminary call to Synthesis.
During this discussion any medical concerns will be addressed. Along with truffle experiences, each retreat also focuses on ways to improve mood, focus, and states of consciousness in one’s daily life.
Magic mushrooms are psychedelic because they contain the psychedelic compounds psilocybin and psilocin. They are also a completely natural psychedelic. Psilocybin is a prodrug, meaning it is only psychoactive when consumed and processed in the body.
When taking mushrooms containing psilocybin, the body will convert the psilocybin into psilocin, which is psychoactive. Both psilocybin and psilocin belong to a group of chemicals known as tryptamines. This grouping also includes compounds like DMT and 5-MeO-DMT.
Magic mushroom use is thousands of years old, but the idea largely entered public awareness with the publication of an article about magic mushrooms in Life magazine in 1957. Written by the then vice-president of J.P. Morgan R. Gordon Wasson, this article detailed a magic mushroom ceremony in Oaxaca, Mexico that Wasson took part in.
In the decade that followed, more Westerners began experimenting with psilocybin mushrooms.
Today, promising new research trials have found that psilocybin can effectively treat a number of intransigent psychiatric conditions. It’s why psychedelics for depression and other mental health issues are becoming more popular these days.
