Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Our retreat programmes use psilocybin truffles, which are legal in the Netherlands. All retreat experiences take place within the Dutch legal framework. Online preparation and integration sessions are available internationally. No substances are administered in the UK or any other country where they are not legal.
-
Beautiful Space is for couples, individuals, and women who have already tried conventional therapy and are ready to go further. Our clients are not first-time help-seekers — they are people who understand themselves deeply but remain stuck, where years of talking therapy haven't produced lasting felt change. If you have hit a ceiling with conventional approaches, you are exactly who we work with.
-
Beautiful Space is the only programme in the world combining the Beautiful Space Method© — a 14-module clinician-developed relational therapy framework — with legal psilocybin retreat experiences and formal university research in collaboration with Imperial College London. Our couples-specific "together but separate" ceremony design, comprehensive screening, and four structured integration sessions set us apart from retreat-only providers. We are not a retreat company that offers therapy. We are a therapy program that includes a retreat.
-
The full program runs over three months and includes: a psychiatric risk assessment and medical history intake, two case-taking sessions, two preparation sessions, a heart-opening ceremony the evening before Medicine Day, an 8-hour Medicine Day retreat in the Netherlands, and four integration sessions. Couples programs are 22.5 hours in total. Individual programs are 21 hours.
-
Medicine Day is an 8-hour in-person experience at a hand-picked retreat venue in the Netherlands. It is divided into three parts: preparation of the medicine, the psilocybin journey itself, and finding the story — a period of reflection, journaling, and conversation after the experience. Facilitators are present and attuned throughout.
For couples, each partner journeys individually within the same shared space — together but separate — each healing their own wounds while witnessing each other.
-
Integration is the process of making meaning from what emerged during the psilocybin experience and anchoring it into daily life. Without integration, insights fade. With it, lasting change becomes possible.
Beautiful Space includes four dedicated integration sessions over three months — at one day, two weeks, four weeks, and three months post-experience. This is where the real transformation takes root.
-
No. Previous experience with psychedelics is not required. What matters most is your readiness, intention, and willingness to engage fully with the preparation and integration process. Our screening and preparation sessions are designed to ensure every client — regardless of prior experience — is fully supported before, during, and after their medicine experience.
-
Psilocybin has one of the most favourable safety profiles of all psychedelic substances — it is non-addictive, has low toxicity, and is generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported effects are psychological in nature transient. Beautiful Space's comprehensive screening, preparation, and integration processes are designed to minimise risk and maximise benefit. Our work is conducted in research collaboration with Imperial College London and adheres to the highest standards of ethics and harm reduction.
