![]() ![]() There's a reason they come up and you want to acknowledge them. We also learned that there are no “bad trips” if you “lean into” them and realize that they are genuine feelings or experiences that you’ve probably suppressed or never knew were there. My wife and I agree that by coming in with the right “intentions” for you and then discussing it afterwards with them is an absolute game changer. Not only does the entheogens help you realize this but it’s absolutely critical to have a guide talk you through what you’re being presented by going inward. NONE of this I would have considered until I was guided so gracefully by Alice. For me, it was racism growing up in Boston, not being able to talk at school, knowing that the school system wasn’t for me and my dad’s PTSD which resulted in verbal abuse. Little did I know that I had some trauma from my childhood that I never truly processed and it doesn’t necessarily need to be physical abuse. I’m successful at what I do, I get to work on my passion as my work, have confidence for at least 10 lifetimes, have an amazing group of close friends and gorgeous loving wife. Anyone that knows me would consider me to be the poster child for not having anything going wrong in his life. My wife came for healing that she very much needed but wasn't being addressed from her therapy, inner work, self-help courses, reading, paraliminals, etc. I specifically booked this so I could be a better version of myself as I know that we all have things to work on. It could be something you’ve regretted not doing, an instance in your past that you never truly processed, one event that molded you unknowingly your entire life that you thought was you but was actually just an event in time that became you or like for me a trauma that I thought I got over but the child in me never did. The wisdom from the psilocybin will bring up, from our experiences, things that you need to be shown vs what you want to be shown. When it comes to doing psilocybin on your own vs guided, it’s not even a comparison! It truly changes everything and you really want someone like Alice and Kerrie to be there because there WILL be things that come up that you might not expect. You want to go “inward” for true self reflection which is what we learned from these private sessions. When you’re doing these entheogens on your own and having your eyes open (watching things, going to concerts, parties, etc), you’re going “outward” which is actually not what you want to do. We literally went to Amsterdam specifically so we could have a guided experience rather than just doing it on our own (which we’ve done before a few times already). Every single step of the way they were so professional, caring, accommodating, inviting, nurturing and most of all passionate about helping my wife and I while we were there. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting such detailed and personal feedback and could tell that they read my reasons for inquiring deeply before responding. From the very beginning of just inquiring about their services, I could tell they really took this seriously and professionally. I was personally guided by Alice which is probably the most gentle and patient soul I’ve ever met. "My experience with Alice + Kerrie who co-founded A Whole New High was simply one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. I'm already thinking about attending again. ![]() With the pre and post retreat support, I really couldn't imagine doing such an experience any other way. The abbey was amidst a beautiful forest, making it easy to feel connected to nature, and disconnected from modern and technological distractions. The accomodation was perfectly simple and comfortable. And then there's the food.I look forward to hearing about an InwardBound recipe book, because I want to recreate everything that I ate during the retreat! The agenda was well balanced with personal time around the group sessions. From the moment I arrived in Amsterdam with my suitcase, I felt immediately welcomed and comforted.Įverything during the stay was so well planned. The genuine warmth and care from the team's 'hello' smiles and hugs really put me at ease. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have stumbled across InwardBound, and I'm so grateful to the InwardBound team for facilitating my experience. I was very nervous attending this retreat, having no previous experience of attending retreats or consuming psychedelic medicine.
